Seven Decimal Six

02/08/13
6.5 km 29 minutes

04/08/13
6.5 km 29 minutes
Now I can move up in distance. Yipee!

07/08/13
7.6 km
Forgot the time at which I began running since I was so excited. I'm not too sure yet if I will increase back to 10 km and then start monitoring my time or do it in a more stepwise process. I'm leaning towards the former since I see no particular reason to linger in the lower distances.

09/08/13
3.5 km cycling warmup
3X(20X34.1kg) goblet squats
5X10 chinups
3X10 dips
5X70.5kg squats
3X79.5kg squats
1X88.6kg squat
14 pushups
stretching
30 pushups
3.5 km cycling cooldown

I decided to start cycling to the gym. I use no gas and save time by already being warmed up when I get there. I don't have to worry about packing my bag since I arrive in my workout gear and shower at home.

Twenty Nine

30/07/13
'Scientific' workout

I didn't have time today so I had to resort to the super short workout, it wasn't challenging enough. I will need to perform other exercises next time I do this workout.

31/07/13
6.5 km 29 minutes

Finally! Just two more sub 30 minute clockings and I move up in distance.

01/08/13
'scientific' warmup
3X(12X61.2) squats
20X13.6 + 2X(20X11.4) standing dumbbell shoulder press 
3X(20X61.2) trap bar deadlifts
5X27.3 dumbbell bench press
3X27.3 dumbbell bench press
2X29.5 dumbbell bench press
13 dips
stretching cooldown
15 dips

I tried to use the 29.5kg weight for the set of three presses but I couldn't manage it. For the last set I somehow was able to do two reps.
