Back in Action

Well, today, I completed my 12 minute run at 5 and 3/4 laps. That is the same laps I did last time and a little more. The first lap I basiclly ran it, so my heart my beating to fast and I got tired. But, I slowed down my pace, got into a steady pace and ran the rest at that pace. I was a little more tired then the last time I ran it since my body had been in a decline. It happens all the time after football ends, my body just goes into a decline. But, with effort, I got myself up out of that decline. And my goal is to get abck into the shape I was during the football season when I was improving so much on my running and get better. Remember, if you put effort into completing your goal, you will complete your goal. Also remember, if you put effort into something, you will reach your goal.

you DO send out christmas newsletters, don't you???!

 

Keep on truckin', BRAVO!!!!

 

2nd 1 Mile Run: 8 minutes and 24 seconds

I wasn't running as hard as I did on the first mile run. This was because when I ran it the first time I was on a roll, this time I coming back up from my decline. Also, I was concerating (sp?) more on my breathing then my speed this time. Hopefully with Chrimas (sp?) Break coming up, that will give my body a good 2 1/2 weeks of rest. With no running or anything, this will give my body time to heal itself and regain some strength and to recover over all. I still have the Beep Test next week.

 

beep test? what is that?

 

Wow, I feel like getting my lazy butt off this chair and exercising now

Maybe I'll look for a belly dancing class somewhere.

 

keep up the good work there bravo!!!!!! getting back into shape is such a b****, and i must say i'm more or less in the same boat as you right now. hockey season ended last week, so you'd expect me to be in shape, but i was injured for the first 2 months of the season i've actually only been able to run for about 3 weeks now and am, needless to say feeling very, very out of shape. Keep up the good work, i'm right there w/ ya! (well 'cept for the fact that i'm currently on the other side of the country)

oh, and i thought i should have a small personal celebration here as this is the first time i've posted on the list in a very, very long time, at least since coming to college in aug, maybe even b/f then...anyways, i'll try to be more faithful now!

 

Beep Test: 12.2 (I think)

Bench Press Max: 150 pounds

Hang Clean Max: 111 pounds

Squat Max: Next week




Jedi_Knight_Birr, the Beep Test is an endurance (sp?) test. It tests to see how long you can keep on going, how much your body can take. Each level gets faster then the next. So, you have a certain amount of time to get from one side of the gym to the next. You have two beeps, one for one side of the gym and another for the other. We don't run the whole gym, only from sideline to sideline. A 11.0 is an A. I could of probably got a 14.0 or higher on Wednesday, but I started to feel sick. I ate too little and what I ate was just youget (sp?) in the morning. I didn't want to give the gym floor a new color.

 

Squat Max: 115 pounds


Well, that is the last of my maxes. I'll hopefully keep this record for next semster (sp?) too. I have my eye surgery on the 26th and then I am going up to the mountains for a break. I'll be back for school to start. If I don't stop by again this Chrismas Break, Marry Chrismas!

 

Pre Mile Run: 3 3/4 laps in 7 minutes (mile is 4 laps)

Pre Bench Max: 145 pounds (partner helped by mistake at the last moment)

Pre Close Grip Bench Max: 130 pounds (95 pounds was my max last semester)

Pre Bicep Max: 65 pounds (rep. 10 times, I think/same max as last semster)

Pre Pull-Up Max: 10 times

Pre Abs Max: 40 times in one minute (I think)

Pre Shoulder Shurgs Max: 80 pounds (rep. 8 times, I think)

Now all yu need is a lightsaber....FLOL! Man cannot live by firefightin' alone, yu kno!

 

First Beep Test: 11.5 (Basic Gym class, A/ Advanced Gym Class, B)

 

First Mile: 7 minutes and 28 seconds

Second Mile: 8 minutes and 24 seconds (I think)

On the second mile, the very next gym class from the first mile, was the first time I talked with friends and laughed (sp?) while running. I never talk or laugh while running, since I don't have the breathe to do so, but this time a group of friends and I relaxed from the mile and had fun. We still did good. My first mile, on Wednesday (sp?), was my best mile ever so far!

 

First 12 Minute Run: 5 and 1/2 laps (last week)

Second 12 Minute Run: 5 3/4 laps (counted as 6 laps in the grade book since I was so close to six laps)

Third 12 Minute Run: 5 laps


I ran the second and third 12 minute runs back to back. I was tired and a little low on energy on the second 12 minute run, since I already did the 12 minute run today, I only had to get 5 laps. If I kept on running, I would of got either 5 and 1/4 laps or 5 and 1/2 laps.

 

Third Mile Run: 7 minutes and 30 seconds (two weeks ago)

Fourth 12 Minute Run: 5 1/2 laps (on bad knee, today)


I burst my bursa-sack (sp?) in the left knee about a week and almost a half ago. The bursa-sack (sp?) is a sack of fluid around your knee, in fact the sack of fluid is around all your joints, accoring to a friend of mine. Well, it is still healing. I couldn't run for a few days since, since I had fluid in my knee. Imagine a water ballon, hold it my the end, and shake it. That is what my left knee feeled like. I think I did very well on a hurt knee on the 12 minute run today.
