Im Tryna Do Like 4-5 5Ks This Summer Just For The Hell Of It
Had A Good Time At The Last One I Did
Light work/Rest Day 4/15
100 push up test (141 total)
4 x 225 jogs
Jump Rope: 2 mins on, 1 min rest for 6 sets
Just trying to keep blood flowing more than anything today. Good lift session last night for upper body.
I haven't stepped on a scale in a few weeks and I'm not obsessively counting cals. Just trying to put in the work.

I'm trying not to think about that yet
Hopefully an earlier start time if I get it will help.
I hear you and generally speaking clean/dirty doesn't really matter. I actually don't like "dirty food" much anymore, the taste for it is basically gone for me.
, dessert is another matter. I have to get under control so my punishment must be more severe
I just need a month to re-program
I think I'm back. The cravings have diminished. Went to dinner Friday night with friends and they ordered the biggest slice of chocolate cake I've ever seen in a restaurant:
Me:
The cake:
Me
I won
I think the end of the month is all I can afford (1 meal) and then right back on it. I figure I have several months to finally work off the gut.
Sprints in the AM
5/20
Stretch
120 push-ups
1 mile warm-up run
30 chin-ups
6 parking lot sprints (40-50ish yards)
20 chin-ups
6 medium elevation sprints
1-large elevation sprint
5 sets of 1 minute planks
Stamina seems to be improving. The first .5 miles of my usual route is enough to make me quit. It has a slight incline and my body isn't warm yet. I pushed through it better than I can remember in a while.

I kind of like working out in the heat. The type of heat where you step out the door and start sweating. Then not having to worry about my hair is an added benefit.
on committing to this though. I enjoy reading your workout mini-logs.
I ran a 13 mile race a couple years ago, and I made the mistake of picking a time I could get easily, the only problem is I ran into a lot of walkers had to keep dodging them and inevitably ended up stressing my groin, had to stop a couple times to stretch it to get it loose enough to run more. after the race I had to walk up stairs sideways cause I could barely lift my leg
Upper Body Work scheduled for tonight
Semi-struggling on the nutrition front. The plan was to stay on track with one cheat meal a month but I'm leaning away from that. The one month thing isn't difficult but I feel like the cheat meal will turn into this epic binge that is going to be a bad situation. My will power just has odd applications.

Got some good work done last night:
Pushed through a Flat Bench pyramid set I couldn't complete last Friday
Did the most dips I've ever done
Scrapping having one "cheat meal" a month, well the end of this month doesn't count
, the setbacks won't be worth it. I'm going to have to exert some will power and really make a decent serving fit macros.
