I had intended to run a bit of the 3.1 mile Race for the Cure this morning, but it was too crowded. So we all walked instead.
Got a good sweat going, but I think it was mostly the humidity. It was nice to strech my legs out though after soccer yesterday.
Still feeling the effects of soccer. Sore hip-flexors and a bit in my right quad.

Soccer Saturday - September 9
Felt like my heart was going to explode during a couple of sprints. It was hot out.
NOTE: Woke up Sunday with tight calves and sore hip-flexors. Sometimes I wonder if my hip-flexors work at all. I have a hard time pulling up knees while I run. And they seem to always be sore. Perhaps I should stretch them occasionally.

Gym: Wednesday, September 6
Big news! Lots of people work-out, in the morning!
I was at the gym about 7 after doing WCPO. Saw nine-month pregnant Natalie in nothing but a sports bra and running shorts. Shocking.
The thing about going to the gym in the morning is that I was there for about 2 hours. I felt like I had all the time in the world, and as it cleared out more I just kind of hung around. Though somewhat unsure of what to do next. Also showered there and nearly slipped and fell.
CARDIO:
Almost 45 minutes on treadmill. Ran during several songs. Where The Streets Have No Name and All Things Things That I've Done. (Apparently I only to run songs with really long titles.)
WEIGHTS:
Chest press
10 pounds each side, then 5 and 2.5.
Two sets of 10.
NOTE: My pecs were wrecked for three days afterward. Could barely run or walk without wanting to hold my chest.
Back Dead Lift
15 pounds to start.
Two sets of 8. Too heavy.
Situps
Did upper and lower abs for about 8 minutes. Not nearly as many as I should have done.

Monday, September 4 - WALK
Went for 54 minute walk after I got up this morning, up the hill to Mt. Lookout Square and turned around to come back at Halpin.
Guessing it's about two miles. Walked the whole time.
67 degrees and cloudy when I left. Shorts and t-shirt.
Quads and adductors are crazy sore from yesterday. So is my upper back and biceps.
I think I'm not working hard enough sometimes. Would like to work triceps and hamstrings harder next time.
