Sunday, August 1:<\/strong> August began well with a 1 kilometer swim (my longest since pulling right lat muscle) followed by an hour in the gym: chest, shoulders, triceps, and 3 steep kilometers on the treadmill:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Tuesday, August 3:<\/strong> My regular gym is closed for the week and this just happens to be one week for almost a year that I don’t have classes. So it was back to the free taekwondo gym on campus for a 98-minute workout in the heat. Five kilometers on the treadmill and some light weights: traps, back, lower back, abs, sides, and calves. And I have never sweated so much in my life! Oh and someone stole my wallet too. Great way to start the vacation. Grrrr Angry!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Thursday, August 5:<\/strong> Another long session in the free gym on campus, but this time I kept an eye on my new wallet the whole time. Eight kilometers on the treadmill – it’s such a nice change to use a machine that doesn’t automatically stop after 40 minutes like the ones in my regular gym – and a pretty short chest, shoulders, and triceps workout. With 2 (or perhaps 3) half marathons coming up, I’m concentrating on cardio:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Friday, August 6:<\/strong>\u00a0Back on my exercise bike for the first time in a few weeks for 25 kilometers in the heat while watching a season 2 episode of Star Trek the Next Generation:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Monday, August 9 (Australia):<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Wednesday, August 11:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thursday, August 12:<\/strong> A good long 1.7 kilometer swim today, the longest I’ve swum since injuring my right lat!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Friday, August 13:<\/strong> A marathon 12.5 kilometers on the treadmill to test out my new runners, inserts, and special running socks ($350 worth!) I began with my regular 4 kilometers up an incline and then after a couple of minutes break I ran 8.5 kilometers in just under an hour. That boosted my confidence for next week’s half marathon, but little did I know a cold was brewing inside me!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Sunday, August 15:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Monday, August 16:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Friday, August 20:<\/strong> Back in the gym after 3 days off due to a cold! A short 55-minute session that started with 3 kilometers on the treadmill at a pretty slow and steady pace and less of an incline than usual. Then a pretty light hamstrings, traps, lats, biceps, and lower back workout. Mmmmm supposed to run a half marathon on Sunday… heard it’s going to be 35 degrees and with my cold and my flight back to Korea tomorrow I think I should pull out….<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Sunday, August 22 (Korea):<\/strong> I ran the first 3.5 kilometers of the 2010 Daegu World Firefighter Games half marathon. I had a cold and it was almost 40 degrees. I really should have stayed in bed.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Monday, August 23:<\/strong> Back in my regular gym in the afternoon for a sharp weights-only workout: chest, shoulders, triceps, calves, lower back, sides, and abs.<\/p>\n

Wednesday, August 25:<\/strong>\u00a0A 600-meter night swim all alone in Spa Castle’s 25 meter pool:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Thursday, August 26:<\/strong> An early morning 70-minute jog in the countryside surrounding Spa Castle:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Tuesday, August 31:<\/strong> After 4 days of no exercise due to a severe case of the common cold, it was back to work this morning with 20 kilometers on my trusty exercise bike and a few sets of calf raises. It felt good to sweat again!<\/p>\n
