February 14, 201313 yr Had been wearing size 40x30 jeans and closer to 42x30 when I first started trying to lose weight. Put on a pair of a little older jeans and checked the size which was 36x30.

February 14, 201313 yr If you ever feel like doing something insane, try the burpee mile. You do a burpee but instead of jumping up you jump out, like a broad jump. Where you land is where you do your next burpee. You continue until you've gone a mile. I haven't mustered the stupidity to try this one yet. Dear Lord. That just made me want to never work out again, ever. My wife and I are on Day 10 of our 16 Day Beginner Crossfit.....did 100 Burpees last night. I literally thought my heart was going to come through my chest and that was with breaks. She kicks me butt every night, but we are having fun doing it together. Tonight is just a 5K run as fas as we can.
February 14, 201313 yr The older I get, the more I want my young body back. I worked up to a couple heavy singles squatting and my legs and hips feel absolutely fine today. But my Achilles' tendon on my right leg is just all blown up. No pain at all yesterday, but I can barely move the thing today without some serious pain.
February 14, 201313 yr Shoulder day today: Lateral Raises 3 *7 Overhead Press 5 * 5 Frontal Raises 3 *7 Failure on last sets. Let's do this!!

Is that something your gym does as part of their programming? I've been doing it for right at 1 year and love it.

Seems like every week something new aches and usually have no clue why.

February 15, 201313 yr This morning was 5/3/1 shoulder press. I've been having issues with my left shoulder so I didn't make it through. I ended up just doing some light higher rep presses and shoulder work to get the blood flowing. Followed it up with some stretches. Getting old sucks monkey butt.
February 15, 201313 yr Just went on the DL. Had a minor mishap on bench Monday. Can finally raise hand above shoulder today. Very painful. Looks like just legs, abs and cardio for a couple of weeks.

February 15, 201313 yr Taking my brother to get his knee brace for his ACL then hitting the gym for 5/5. I'm going to swim today
February 15, 201313 yr Author Fought the urge to skip today. Workout done and ready to start the weekend. :dancingpa Day 37.
February 15, 201313 yr Off today. Probably run 13 or so tomorrow. I am really not wanting to do this marathon, so I believe I have convinced myself to strictly pace my wife at the race. She has yet to break 4:30 and I think I can bring her in comfortably under that time. Though we do not work well together in those situations so we shall see :lol:
