Another sore throat heralded in the new month, and the cold that followed kept me from exercising April 7. I hate being sick. I know everyone says that, but I hate being sick more than everyone else.
Saturday, April 7: A back, biceps, traps, lats, and legs workout to celebrate my almost full recovery.
Monday, April 8: Finally felt well enough to return to the cross-trainer and the resulting 50-minute workout. It felt like I sweated more than normal, but I was glad to realize when I finished that my cold hadn’t obviously affected my cardio fitness level:
Tuesday, April 9: A short sharp chest, shoulders, and triceps workout, my first in what feels like a very long time.
Thursday, April 12: A quick legs workout in between finishing work and leaving for a work-related dinner at Camp Walker.
Friday, April 13: 50 scary cross-trainer minutes on this Friday the 13th:
Saturday, April 14: Solid back and biceps workout at the gym after Jeff helped me jump-start my car.
Tuesday, April 17: Up early for an inclined treadmill session followed by a brief but intense leg workout:
Thursday, April 19: A sweaty 55-minute cross-trainer session after work:
Saturday, April 21: A solid back, biceps, sides, lower back, and abs workout first thing in the morning before the annual Keimyung staff hike in the rain.
Tuesday, April 24: A very fast 50-minute cross-trainer session as the half marathon I signed up for next month draws closer.
Thursday, April 26: A solid chest, shoulders, and triceps workout followed by my first skipping session in over a year!
Friday, April 27: I ended my busiest week ever with a return to the treadmill to test out my calf – no problems and immediately after that I did 5 or 6 sets of skips and a few sets of bicep curls:
Sunday, April 29: My first swim since the middle of February!
Monday, April 30: A fifty-minute session on my favourite cross-trainer followed by some skipping to end the month and start the week:
