12-29-12 Time?

Ran 6 miles in 50 minutes 25 seconds

Hanging ab raises +5# x12x12x12 > +7.5#

Oblique crunches 73# x10x10x10 > 75#

Calf raises 146# x12x12x12 > X

 

Running today sucked. The cold air burned my lungs, and I ate shit on the ice, twice. I powered through after a few thoughts of quitting.

Dropped the weight on curls and I am getting nice, good, and controlled form. I'll bump the weight up till that starts to suffer, then hold. Added super close grip chins at the end of my workout, for fun. Rest tomorrow, funny, seeing as how it's the last day of the year.

 

Btw I weigh 145-150#, so if add my + body weight exercises you can see I am moving considerable weights. Nearly 200lb chin ups? Yes please.

Ended up lifting late, and with food in my stomach, tired as hell from busting my ass at work. But I am too far into this to miss a day unless absolutely needed. Gonna eat some pancakes, a protein shake, and crash early.

Run 6.1mi 47 minutes 40 seconds

Hanging ab raises +7.5# x12x12x12 > +10# + x12 Unladen

Obliques 75.5# x10x10x10 > 78#

Despite slowing down A LOT to avoid and carefully maneuver ice I manged to run in good time. With no ice on the ground I could have easily gotten 46 minutes. I have almost integrated that extra half mile into my runs and when there is no ice on the ground in a week or so I will try and add another half mile.

I just checked, re-checked, and triple checked my running route. I'm unhappy to say I miscalculated the mileage, it's only 4.6, not 6.1 like I had thought, I guess I made an error before. Which means I am slow as hell, at least in these conditions.

 

But here is the thing, when I ran at 400ft above sea level at my sisters house in San Diego on the running trail that is 1.5-1.7 mi for 4 laps (or 5.5 to 6 miles), I did that in 48 minutes, the same time it takes me to run the 4.6 up here at 2,500+ ft.

 

My guess is the altitude and the steep hill that I run up along RT. 243 really destroy my endurance, speed and time, coupled with the cold weather makes a 4.6 mile as challenging, if not more than the 6 mile I easily ran in San Diego.

 

Time is irrelevant at this altitude, and on my course, it's all about distance I am finding, because it's so fricken hard to run at this altitude and on these gradients.

 

I will redouble my efforts to capture 5 miles, and then 5.5, and then 6 miles, in my environment, over the course of my next few rest periods.

I'm using very slow and strict form on all my lifts, including my biceps which I recently dropped. I like the results a lot more than struggling with them. I'll be dropping my triceps to 3x10/3x8, and raising quads to 4x8. On quads I am merging squats and dips. I am incredibly pleased with my gains and had hoped to buy 50 more lbs soon but mom and I are in a bit of a pickle so I cannot afford to.

 

I'm finding tremendous strength in my Vegan conviction and animal rights and liberation thanks to a very close friend, whom I am tremendously indebted to.

I beat the absolute shit out of myself. Dealing with a lot of bad juju in my personal life, weightlifting is my stress relief ball. I was forced to take yesterday off so I am going to skip my next upcoming rest day, since I am headed toward a rest week soon anyway.

My sleeping habits are getting funky so I will be headed for a rest week in 1/2 a week to 1 week. I have revised my diet to include more complete proteins and veggies. If anyone is interested here is what I eat. Every. Single. Day. It's affordable, measurable, and predictable. So I don't mind.

 

Morning: Cup of coffee

 

Meal 1:

50g pea/rice and soy protein and 3g Creatine

(Fruit if post workout)

 

Meal 2:

150g rolled oats, 14g flaxseed, 7g coconut shreds

 

Meal 3:

200g quinoa and 225g frozen veggies

 

Meal 4 and 5:

300g (Dry) black beans or split peas, 35g vital wheat gluten, carrots, onion, garlic, and spices

 

Meal 6:

300g whole wheat flour (In the form of pancakes with un-butter and syrup or bread) And coffee or tea

 

Meal 7:

50g pea/rice and soy protein and 3g Creatine

 

Misc: A couple cups of tea, sometimes with stevia, some peanut butter and fruit. On Saturdays mom and I do a special meal like Tofurky pizza, or tofu w/ rice and veggies etc. which I eat in addition to all this.

 

Totall kcal is 3,750-4,500, and 275-300g protein.
