I really didn’t want to work out today but it’s Monday, Upper-Body day and I’ve come way too far to slow down now.

I actually got done a while ago but I just don’t feel like writing right after I run.

Upper Body

Push-ups Three Sets of fifteen
Shoulder Presses Three Sets of ten at 20 lbs
Back rows Three Sets of ten at 40 lbs
Kick Backs Three Sets of ten at 20 lbs
Curls Three Sets of ten at 40 lbs

I rest 30 seconds between sets and about two minutes between exercises.

Stretching and Calisthenics Routine

Ab Wheel Ten sets of Three
Standing Bicycle Crunch Five sets of Eight.
Horse Stance Cross Punch Five sets of Eight.
Oblique Knee Raise Five sets of Eight.
Front Kick Five sets of Eight.

I ran two and a half miles today and the change in how I’m running is already showing improvement. My time per mile is dropping and my wind is improving.
