Mileage - sort of

My legs were extremely sore, but I knew I had to jog some mileage to get the lactic acid out of my legs and to test my progress. How did I do? Not bad. I slowly warmed up at 4mph and got up to 6mph for 20 minutes (I did the last 3 minutes at 6mph). I figured out that my core needs to get stronger for me to run better. Nothing hurt except for my abs while I was running (I used to get side stitches when I was working out and I know why now). In any event, if I can keep this workout pace up for the next month, I should be running 7 minute miles no prob.

After running, I decided to do chest and triceps and I dont know if the cardio before hand tired me out or what, but the weight I could lift was so lackluster, it should not be admitted. Just to say that there is this machine and I was at 140lbs and struggling. Disappointing to say the least, but I worked 3 sets to failure. I also did dumbell presses, and the highest weight at this apt gym was 25lbs, so I did 10+ reps 3 sets to failure.

Surprisingly, my triceps were a bit more stronger, but I didnt work this as hard as I could. I did cable pulldowns 40,50,60lbs and overhead cable pulls and "prison curls" 25lbs. I finished with kickbacks.

Finally, to get the abs going, I did a plank (didnt time it, just went to failure) and two sets of bicycle crunches. I was spent.

Afterwards, my legs were not sore anymore (so the mileage worked) but my upper body was spent, so I bought some Muscle Milk to replenish.

I still have a lot of work to do, but I am seeing progress. I did jump on the scale and noticed that I gained two lbs, but I believe it to be water retention as I havent been drinking enough water.

Before I go to bed tonite, I am going drink 16-20oz of H2O.

I am getting there.
