Today i went to the new gym on campus for the first time and tried out the new equipment. It's all very nice and brand spanking new. i didn't run as fast as usual but i stayed in my zone without any difficulty. After that i lifted weights, and not just a few, i did everything: biceps, triceps, rows, lat pull, shoulder press, leg press, extension, curls, abduction, adduction, and chin up and dips to round it off. i think i forgot to do chest presses, but by the time i finished with my dips i was a little shaky and felt i had done enough for the day. i hope i don't get sore, i did a lot but with weights that were a little lower than i would probably normally do. i did not like the pec deck setup they have there, but i don't usually do those anymore anyway. Next time i will most likely do the chest press and omit the lat pull as i prefer chin ups.
So completes the first day of the TriNewb 11 week sprint training program. i'm going to try to complete every workout in order but i don't know if i'll be able to keep up with how many workouts there are per week. That is the goal, of course, but i have had a lot of homework to deal with this semester. My weight, i am sorry to say, had crept higher than i would like, which i was aware of because of how out of breath i have been climbing stairs and crossing campus, even though i hadn't verified my assumption with a scale until today. i'm kind of down about that, however i don't think i've lost much muscle tone, just gained back some fat. i would say that i'm still in better shape than last time i weighed this much.
Anyways, back on the bike tomorrow, i think i'll start riding it around campus again, too, which means using my new purse less and my backpack more. i'm more used to the cold than i used to be, but i'm definitely ready for it to start warming up a bit, too.
