damn, the fitness tests keep piling up.

Yeah haha that's all of them though, I did 3 counties for my test so one of them will hopefully pick me. 

Adarq, should I just keep rolling on with what I've been doing?  kind of 2 mile speed work I guess you can call it.

i dno tbh.. unfortunately my head is all over the place. you seem to be making steady progress though, so if that is the case, then ya i'd stick with it.

I also will get a 1 week pass for my old gym so I'll have access to the stepper which will substitute for the stairs.

nice



i never watched ash vs the evil dead, but, i dno if this is related.. that dude I used to train way back at MSC, has gotten into acting/comedy. He was in this parody called Ash vs Lobo:

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9uKE3kwfOg" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9uKE3kwfOg</a>

i dno if any1 remembers him (Derek Russo, Lobo in that video) from my old videos.. he's a cool dude.

Busy with brakes today so I went to the new sammich shop and got a Ruben with a parfait omnomnomnom.

I'll have protein shakes later.

The run felt like the others pretty much, tomorrow I'll try 7mph for 2 miles and get some weights in because I am feeling soft.

Sharknado is just the worst series of movies ever.

Lol they're awful but I think they are intentionally bad.

Pretty soon I'll head to the gym, just gotta wait for my brother.  They have a legit stair master there so I want to hit that up and some weights, go full body.

1 mile walk at 3.6 mph

I went on 3 different treadmills and they all would skip and stick after a certain speed so I said fuck it and walked.

Stairmaster x 20 minutes around 1.8 miles.  Sweating balls afterwards.

267.2lbs

-32.7lbs

Total from heaviest is 35lbs

My goal was 269 by next Monday and I already have met that.  I'm at 267 now not waterlogged and if I stay strict enough,  I want 259 by Monday even if dropping water helps.  On my lowest hydration days I'm still 2-3 cups over the 8 cups a day recommendation.  As long as I rehydrate the night before and some the morning of I should be good to go.  I don't need to be too hydrated, it's only 1 mile plus 300 meters with some other stuff.

Tomorrow is just a 20 minute run on the track, just getting in a little bit of some final volume, going to focus on a little bit of speed but just mainly form(as much as Ik) and just trying to keep a relaxed pace and heart rate.  I have the 1.5 mile run on wednesday so a 20 minute run should be 2.xx miles, looking for 17 minutes range for 2 miles tomorrow.

Also, I think I am catching the crossfit fever again, the women are just so hot lol  The skandinavian women, just think about the genetics potential there for a future powerlifter, strongman or crossfitter.

Run: 1.7 miles
Mile 1 pace: 9:08 or something
Mile 2 pace would have been 9:38

At 1.7 my quad tightened up so I stopped.  I was sweating and breathing heavily but not too bad I was still comfortable.  As long as the stairs don't kill me too much I'll try for a 7:50 mile next Monday.  Tomorrow I'll try for a 12:30 1.5 mile.

The pace today was for a 2 mile run until I had to stop so I had a lot more in the tank and I was still around a 13:xx 1.5 mile pace.

Also, I noticed if I run kind of hunkered down, body straight up so it feels like my legs are moving like the tracks on a tank.  No bouncing just forward movement I feel more comfortable and faster and it's easier to keep a normal breathing pattern.

My grammar might be shit cuz I'm trying to take a dump and I hate typing on my phone.

I am going to hook myself up to my compex and hopefully get the knot out of my quad.
