Ruggedness August 81411 - 82011

81411 - Day 57: today (180) seems to confirm chest pain was simply delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) Friday (81211) i did more than the usual single set of plyo push ups, I did roll ups into push ups and a couple of sets of plyo pull ups, which sent a sensation through my chest. But it's ok now. If I do anything during the "break" it will be jumping combos, plyo push ups, and maybe some running if I can find someplace to do it.

81511 - Day 58 - Early AM some abs work and push ups (at work) which involved pushup bars and rolling chairs. Up all night then train to NH Ct. no wt charting next 2 days.

81611
- Day 59 - HAPPY Birthday POP!! Long-azz walk around NH Ct. scaled a freekin rock mountain... not rock climbing per se... there were railings. I was SOO winded I wondered if all the ruggedness training was doing anything. I'm going to need to start "sprinting" up hills, paved and unpaved. Maybe a few weeks of that before I go mixed bag (i.e. 2-3 mile runs through the woods, sprint interval days, and uphill days. This sounds like a good fall strategy.

81711 - Day 60 - Back in Philly 3-4 hours on the road, opted for sleep over the gym (gotta work tonight) 182.5 14%.. not bad. wt is up a couple lbs, but that's just a matter of metabolism, elimination and getting back to a regular routine of high activity. Got a nice compliment from some ladies shouting at me from a car going by my house. It may be a bit uncouth,but it's not everyday I get called "sexy" .. we (my ego & I) will take it.

81811 - Day 61 - 182 17.5% measured the belly today, there IS some reduction albeit small, I am however on the right track and if I can maintain progress I will reach my goal. No numbers will be posted until the drop is significant (at least 10 centimeters.) Meanwhile on today's schedule group fitness... this is my first week off from Temple which means Thursday is the first chance to dance jump and twist around. Then aqua-robic at UPenn. Was high energy at YGX, not so hi at Aqua and after both I am quite tired. Need to eat a decent dinner, then work.

81911 - Day 62 - 181.5: Beginning month 3 of Ruggedness and what I am doing is working, you already read about the small centimeter reduction on the belly. Weight's staying in the low 180s (but would like to be fluctuating 10 pounds lighter, although body fat seems to be reducing as I'm maintaining the weight.) Headed to the Y today for lifting 30s!!! Guess i should get going. Somewhat disappointing session, NO 30s... however as they say about Florida, a bad day there is a great day everywhere else, so even tho I'm not doing 30 reps, I'm still getting up there and making progress! Good day.
I need more run days, I didn't have that many this past month.

82011 - Day 63 - 181 19.5% a little high....!! what will I do today? Some lite yoga.. Sun sal and some twists. Got my every 3 weeks massage, both rt ankle and rt trap was less sore than last time. After most of the week of NOT working out I feel a bit guilty today. Thought about swimming but then opted out. I will stretch instead, maybe edit some pix... maybe some push ups at the job. Occasionally i try balancing in semi-yoga poses, but I don't consider it a workout. Maybe I should.
