Thursday, 2/16: I worked out today--did you?
:hi: Hi gang!

Yesterday I had to be into work extra early so I didn't get my workout in.

Today, after warming up, I did my usual ab workout. After that, I jogged 2.5 miles.


How did you guys do?

2. I swam this morning and thought I was doing really well but
the older guy with the snorkel was a motorboat today! I don't know what got into him but he lapped me this morning!

4. Yes, I did
dumbbells, raking (again), rooted around in a flowerbed, found about 50 bulbs trying to sprout. I think tomorrow I will go on a motorcycle ride and not work out at all - simply enjoy the scenery.

Question - I do nearly all my work with weights using dumbbells now, with only a very few barbell items thrown in - is this a bad thing? Before I retired from my last job, I was doing bench press sets with 250 lbs, now I'm using 120 - 150 lbs, with correspondingly lighter dumbbells, but a lot more sets with more reps. How say you?

6. I had time to do 60 minutes but quit after 30 on the elliptical.
I was just dragging today -- I suspect because it's so hot but not hot enough to turn on the AC. :shrug:

Or maybe it's because I'm the most tired on Thursday due to my work schedule (Mondays and Wednesdays are 14-hour days!)

But 30 minutes is better than nothing! :)
