Probably closer to 1.5yd, a friend had started it yesterday evening. Fiber-mesh is a PITA to bust up. Had to bull-point it into small chunks. If I'm ever unfortunate enough to have to do this again, I'll drill holes on an 18in grid and rent a cart saw. That way I can just pick up small slabs.

Just pulling your leg. That's one job I'm willing to pay for.

Did upper body today. Shoulder is coming along, I was able to do a few things pain-free that I hadn't done in a couple months.

Last year I moved to Leavenworth, KS on 23 Jun. Today I ran 5 miles, and completed running 1000 miles in the year I'm here at Leavenworth, in addition to the time spent lifting weights/hiking/biking.

In two weeks I move again, to D.C.

For longevity's sake, that is, statistically speaking, 250mi/yr more than necessary. Dr. Ken Cooper has reams of data on thousands of men, most of whom are now deceased, that concludes that 15mi/wk is the point of diminishing returns from running. IE, running more will produce a higher level of cardiorespiratory fitness, but will not make you live a day longer.

Since you are most likely a field-grade O in the Army (C&G @ Leavenworth) what you are doing is most likely the proper path, for now, IMO.

Phew, I bet Joel was relieved to hear that you approve.

Did cardio today, allergies are kicking my butt.

Rise and shine: Concept2: 25minutes. Didn't care for it at first, but it energized the day. Hmmmm

Evening: Treadmill-30minute intervals then Leg and Triceps evolution.

I'm certain of it.

I was sure you'd be certain.

Then why did you post that?

Because it was the right thing to do. I'm sure poor Joel was beside himself, awaiting your approval of his regimen. I just wanted to reassure him everything would be OK.

Seriously, there's more than one way to skin this cat. I'd trust a guy knowing what's best for him and his own body as far as exercise. There is no one size fits all answer.

Did 3 1/2 miles with a 50 lb pack this morning. Headed to the gym for a session with the trainer, corrective exercise. I sure hope she doesn't spend the whole session staring at my glutes like last time. It's so humiliating to be objectified by young women like that.

You're paying a girl to look at your glutes? What's next, your feet? Good chance this has only one way to go and it doesn't sound good. Especially when you are also engaging in "corrective" exercises. Dammit get a grip!!!!

Smokey the Bear said it best, so don't be blaming the girl. She is only trying to make a living.


Shot for 3 hours.

No, I'm paying her for her expertise as a trainer. I guess she just can't help gawking.

Spinner: 25minute warm-up

Arm and delt evolution at the gym.

Have to admit I did a little gawking.

Hopefully at women.

Yes it was.

However, that kid who can jump up on top of a 60 plus inch box had me gawking also for an obviously different reason.

As may reps as possible in 20 mins:
Clean and Jerk 185# - 1 rep
Thrusters 155# - 3 reps
Snatch 135# - 5 reps

54 reps total.

Hell, anyone my age or younger is a kid by your standards.....

Did cardio and some corrective shoulder exercises today.

Well standards need to be qualified. So:

If I was grading your test paper I could only give you a 50%. However if I was coaching baseball and you were on the team you would be batting .500. Hmmmm


Anyway, worked out today at the gym at work. No big deal right? Ahhh but today it was with a Russian female Dr. This gal would put most posters on the workout thread to shame. Great looking, strong, built and a pleasing personality. We did intervals together on the treadmill. I gawked a little and so did she. Great day at the gym.
