This weekend was pretty good...but really busy. Rushed home from Kearney on Saturday morning to run 2 miles, practice, and eat before having to go to work at 3:30. Had to work until 12:00...it was completely boring, plus I was tired for having slept an average of only 5.5 to 6 hours of sleep each night for the past week. Or maybe it was just work that made me tired, because when I got off, I felt very energetic and excited to do something fantastic.
I went home and went to bed.
Saturday's run was good...wore shorts, and felt awesome. Tried to make friends with the dog who always runs at me and barks, but it didn't want to be congenial. Bee-atch. The hip didn't hurt at all. The pain is gone.

Sunday was good. Very productive. Meant to get up at 8, but fell asleep again until 8:39. Got up and did some stuff. Then practiced from 10-12, ran at 12, 25 supersets at 12:30, eat at 1:45, tried to help fix the car, 5 x 10 pullups at 2:30, 4 x 25 dips while doing dishes, another round of 5 x 10 pullups, eat, pack lunch, go to work.
For the superset, I did the most I have ever done...25 this time! Abs didn't hurt until around after 18...did situp/half/crunch. For pushups, everything felt good the whole time, except maybe for a little burn in the muscle that sort of connects the shoulder to the torso, sort of low socket, sort of right above the armpit. Alternated reg, tricep, wide. Managed to pump out a lot of abs and pushups in only 50 minutes. Had to keep my mind off the workout by cleaning the room looking through a scrapbook Lisa made for me. Bless her heart!
I think I need to get in more pullups and dips. The abs, pushups, and fire haulers are increasing, but the pullups and dips are staying about the same. I wanted to get in 200, but didn't have time. The pullups are difficult to do, too...every minute I did a set of 10, and by the 4th set it was a struggle. Oh well. That is how it is supposed to be. Planning on bumping up those two later this week.
Overall, PT is going good. It is quality PT. Over the past few months my endurance has improved considerably. Hooray for hard work!
2 miles
750 abs
750 push
100 pull
100 dips
200 fire haulers
70 neck

Let me see if I got this straight. You ran at noon and then did a 25x super-set at 12:30. Then, you did another super-set after work?!?
You did TWO 25x super-sets?!?
That is unfreakin' believable.
I hope you know I won't be able to join you for super-sets anymore. I'm still playing tee-ball while you've gone pro! Amazing! Completely blown away. You are a freakin' beast!
Wow!
No! Not TWO supersets...there was just one. Before work. I ran 2 miles at 12, then started the supersets at 12:30 and threw in pullups and dips. Sorry to mislead you.
Nice work man!
I like how you say you wanted to do something fantastic after work, so you went home and got in bed.
Good work on the supersets! 750! nice.
Ben, you're funny. I like how every so often you say that Charles or I is miraculous for doing a bunch of stuff, but then we have to admit that you misread. I like that. The brother's understand each other while Ben is playing tee-ball. ;-)
Just kidding. You're just as miraculous Ben.
