Friday, October 1:<\/strong> I began October with a short 25-minute stint in the gym just working my chest, shoulders, triceps, and lower abs just a little. My legs were still a little stiff from Wednesday’s 10.4 kilometer run. (See September Fitness Diary).<\/p>\n

Saturday, October 2:<\/strong> A solid\u00a0hour in the gym before lunch. My legs felt\u00a0better today so I hopped on the treadmill for 3 steep kilometers. And\u00a0a weights session\u00a0which consisted of exercises for my back, lats (almost recovered from the tear), traps, biceps, lower\u00a0back, and hamstrings. Plus a pretty good stretch. October has started well, but I have a busy month ahead…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Sunday, October 3:<\/strong> An early morning swim in the pool ebhind HomePlus: 32 laps, 1.6 kilometers. Felt really relaxed in the pool. Felt like I could have swum all day if I had wanted to, I didn’t want to.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Monday, October 5:<\/strong> Back on my exercise bike for the first time in almots a month (since September 7 to be exact). A nice steady 25 kilometers while watching the “Die Hard” episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation<\/em>:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Wednesday, October 6:<\/strong> Forty-five minutes in the gym today after lunch. Three kilometers on the treadmill and then an admittedly half-hearted chest, shoulders, and triceps session:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Friday, October 8:<\/strong> One final trip to the gym before Sunday’s Hi Seoul (half) Marathon<\/a>: back, biceps, traps, lats, lower back, sides, forearms, and a very\u00a0light leg workout. Then later at home a final cardio session: 20 kilometers on my excercise bike while watching the latest Office<\/em> and Fringe<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Sunday, October 10:<\/strong> Well my half marathon didn’t go exactly according to plan. I strained my calf muscle after just a few kilometers. I still got a medal though which was nice:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Monday. October 11:<\/strong> An early morning gym session less than 24 hours after the shocking events of yesterday: Chest, shoulders, triceps, lower abs, sides, thighs, and hamstrings. Good workout! I hope I can get into the habit of working out before 9 a.m. classes.<\/p>\n

Wednesday, October 13:<\/strong> My first cardio session since Sunday’s half marathon was a twenty kilometer exercise bike session clocking in at 30 minutes even:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Thursday, October 14:<\/strong> A rare back workout at home! Back, biceps, traps, and abs.<\/p>\n

Friday, October 15:<\/strong>\u00a0A nice leisurely 2 hour 15 minute walk to begin the process of strengthening my calves (I also did a few sets of calf raise) so hopefully they won’t stop me from running any more half marathons.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Birthday, October 16:<\/strong>\u00a0 An early morning birthday workout at the gym which consisted of chest, shoulders, triceps, lower abs, sides, lower back, thighs, and hamstrings! Quite a workout that one. Later in the day a nice steady and sweaty 20 kilometers on my exercise bike while watching the latest Supernatural:<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/em><\/p>\n

Sunday, October 17:<\/strong> Oops, I was supposed to get up early and go for a swim, but it didn’t happen. Instead, a 2-hour walk around campus and many laps of the athletics track listening to Michael Giacchino’s music for the final season of Lost:<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Monday, October 18:<\/strong> Up bright an early and at the gym by 7:40 a.m. and stayed until 8:20. It was my best back workout since injuring my right lat muscle a few months ago. The workout involved exercises for my upper back, traps, lats, biceps, forearms, things, hamstrings, and inner thighs.<\/p>\n

Wednesday, October 20:<\/strong> Another early morning and I was out the door by 7 a.m. for a nice leisurely 2-hour walk that included a few sets of calf raises. The music of Michael Giacchino kept me company, specifically his score for the final episode of Lost<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Thursday, October 21:<\/strong> A good solid gym session today consisting of chest, shoulders, triceps, and my first treadmill session (3 km) since injuring my calf in the\u00a0Hi Seoul\u00a0marathon:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Friday, October 22:<\/strong> Twenty-five minutes of pure core in the gym! Lower abs, upper abs, sides, and lower back which I sure felt the next day and the day after. I definitely need to do that more often.<\/p>\n

Monday, October 25:<\/strong>\u00a0 Back on my exercise bike for twenty kilometers after a weekend without exercise:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Tuesday, October 26:<\/strong> Another twenty on my exercise bike plus a 45-minute night walk in the cold. Winter arrived suddenly and without mercy today:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Wednesday, October 27:<\/strong> Up early and at the gym for a pre-class workout – 7:40 a.m. – 8:20 a.m: back, biceps, traps, lats, lower back, forearms, hamstrings, and thighs. I’m writing this\u00a012 hours later and my right side doesn’t feel quite right. I hope I haven’t pulled my lat muscle again…\u00a0 Update: I’m fine!<\/p>\n

Saturday, October 30:<\/strong> Ninety-five minutes in the gym this morning, my longest and hardest workout for quite a while. My workout consisted of chest, shoulders, triceps, lower abs, abs, sides, thighs, inner thighs, hamstrings, and calves plus 4.4 kilometers on the treadmill. After a long and hectic week I really needed that:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Sunday, October 31:<\/strong> A light swim (1.2 kilometers) to end October’s fitness campaign:<\/p>\n
