I ran 5 miles. It felt good.

Totals:
375 crunch
300 pushup
105 pullup
100 dips
100 arm hauler
40 neck.

The Earth is Round
Was running short on time, so did a 2 mile run instead of 4. Felt incredible! It was warm out today, like around 27. The air was not cold enough to hurt my lungs.
While I was running I started to think about the curvature of the Earth. Then I started to think how long I would have to run in order for me to know that the world was round, to actually be able to tell that I was running on a big ball.
And then, for the briefest of moments, I thought I could feel the curve beneath my feet...

First COLD of the YEAR!
It was COLD today! 21 degrees with a windchill of 4. I was scared my penis was going to freeze off. But it didn't. Even worse was breathing in the cold air. My lungs are not used to anything this cold yet. I forgot to bring the red thing I wear around my mouth and nose, so I had to pull up the turtle of my turtle neck and clench it between my teeth. That was the only thing I could do to not breathe the cold air. When I took the neck of the turtle away from my mouth and let it go back down to where it was supposed to be, it became stiff as the moisture began to freeze within a minute. Dang cold. Dang!
Had planned on 3 miles, but ended up doing 4! This is partly because at the 3 turn-around, a car was coming up behind me, and I didn't want them to think I was going to jack them or something. Actually, I am happy the car came; otherwise I would not have gone 4.
•••••
Did some PT. Was going to do 2x as much, but decided not to:
10 x 15 abs = 150
10 x 10 push = 100
5 x 10 pull = 50
2 x 25 dips = 50
50 fire haulers = 50
30 neck each = 30
•••••
I went to bed at 1:30 last night, but naturally woke up at 6:49 and felt so refreshed that I thought it was at least 8:30. It was a good, productive day. I took a small nap at around 1:30 in the afternoon, in which I had a dream where Caleb Stephens was doing something funny with his mouth, like making it form into a real bird beak, and Anton and I were laughing at it. I woke up because I started laughing (in real life) and smiled really big, which hurt my lips, which are chapped. Fun times.
•••••
I hear that Anton is going to Seattle after Christmas...tell me more. Tell me more.

2 days in a Row, Some Quality PT
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!

Quick PT, Brisk Night Run
4 x 100 abs = 400
80, 70, 50 push = 200
5 x 10 pull = 50
5 x 10 dips = 50
2 x 100 fire hauler = 200
2 x 30 neck = 60
Pushups felt hard. Side crunches were good...felt it working the whole side...maybe the fire haulers contributed to it. Good stuff.
•••••
Took on the shoes upon my feet and ran outside, an easy 2 miles. I thought I felt the hip during the first 3 minutes, but it was just my imagination. Felt good the whole time. Very relaxed.
Oh, how I have missed running!
12 degrees, 9:15 pm. What a good way to end the day.

Just thought it sounded fun to say the last one. It is a fun combination of names.

First Run, Definition
I went out running, 2 miles, the first time in almost two weeks. I had a most excellent time, and my hip didn't hurt at all! That's what I was most scared of: the hip pain. I am glad that it was nowhere to be seen. I have passed it on to someone, passed it to a mammoth who can take the pain. The mammoth will carry it around for years and years and remain unaffected.
The plan is to ease back into running. Maybe 2 tomorrow, then 5 Thursday, 2 Friday, 3 Saturday, and 5 Sunday. Then rest Monday. Something like that.
By the end of December I want to be at around 50-60 a week...then 2009 can begin! I feel that next year is going to be GREAT!
•••••
On the PT menu, there was another Mammoth workout. It is called The Full Mammoth, which means that you get in all the main exercises: pullup, situp, pushup, fire hauler, dips. It is different from The Mammoth, which only has the pullup, pushup, situp.
This was what was on my plate:
15 sets of The Full Mammoth:
8 pull = 120
20 sit = 300
20 push = 300
20 fire = 300
8 dips = 120
At first I thought I would do 20 sets of The Full Mammoth, but then decided that I wanted to do PT again this week without being sore and tired. A good choice, I think. On Thursday I am planning a small pyramid workout, and then supersets on Saturday.
Finished off the workout with 2 x 30 neck and 200 crunches.
Totals:
120 pull
500 ab
300 push
300 fire
120 dips
60 neck
Can't wait to get back into doing atomic situps, leg levers, and flutter kicks...but this time I will ease into it...they might have been what initially caused pain in the hip flexor, pain which migrated throughout the hip joint.
•••••
Mammoth = pullup, situp, pushup
•••••
Full Mammoth = pullup, situp, pushup, fire, dip
•••••
SUPER MAMMOTH = 200 meter sprint, pullup, situp, pushup, fire, dip
That is what I want to do. The SUPER MAMMOTH. It has to be capitalized, the word does, to make it look awesome.
•••••
WOOLY MAMMOTH = 200 meter sprint, pushup, situp, pushup, fire, dip, 25 meter swim sprint
•••••
Who wants to do the WOOLY MAMMOTH sometime?
Raise your hands, bitches.

Pam Reed, PT
Anton's gonna pull a Pam Reed. I can tell.
But it is good! He's gonna feckin do 240 fire haulers next week. Do it. Do it!
Sunday came and went. I did a PT workout. Supersets. 24 of them. The most I had ever done. Felt the burn mostly on the wide pushups. Strange, because usually the close ones burn the most. Abs: no atomic situps, or leg levers, or flutter kicks. Those, I think, would aggravate the hip, so I did the regular situp, the half situp, and then rotated between the three crunch. Finished off with 10 x 8 pullups in the evening.
Totals:
720 abs
720 pushup
80 pullup
