Tuesday, May 1<\/strong>: I started the month with an early morning half marathon-training workout: back, biceps, lats, traps, forearms, sit-ups, some skipping, and 20 minutes on a steep treadmill:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Wednesday, May 2:<\/strong> My third early-morning workout in a row (that’s a record) consisted of chest, shoulders, triceps, skipping, and another 20 minutes on a steep treadmill:<\/p>\n

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

Friday, May 4:<\/strong> 15 kilometres on my favourite cross-trainer followed by a lot of skipping, perhaps too much skipping as a calf injury was about to strike:<\/p>\n

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

Sunday, May 6:<\/strong> The first 15 kilometres of a half marathon! (A calf strain kept me from finishing):<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Monday, May 7:<\/strong> Early morning core workout: abs, sides, and lower back. And later a whole lot of walking on stiff legs around Kyeong-Ju. Thankfully my calf felt much better than expected.<\/p>\n

Wednesday, May 9:<\/strong> Evening workout while taking a break from a long day at work: back, biceps, traps, lats, and forearms.<\/p>\n

Thursday, May 10:<\/strong> My first cardio workout after last Sunday’s al,ost half marathon! I’m still nursing an injured calf so I hopped on the calf-friendly spin bike for a sweaty 35-minute workout with Bear McCreary’s Battlestar Galactica Season 4 soundtrack helping pass the time. A legs workout closed the session:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Friday May 11:<\/strong> A short sharp sweet abs, sides, and lower back workout after work!<\/p>\n

Saturday, May 12:<\/strong>\u00a0 An early(ish) morning chest, shoulders, and triceps workout followed by 15 intense minutes on a spin bike. Rare Saturday office work shortened my workout window:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Monday, May 14:<\/strong> Two workouts today; that’s a first since I started my current job! Weights early in the morning: core, back, biceps, traps, and lats. After work, a 30-minute spin bike workout:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Thursday, May 17:<\/strong> an after-work cardio and weights workout: Chest, shoulders, and triceps followed (or preceded by, I can’t quite remember) a 35-minute spin bike workout:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Saturday, May 19:<\/strong> Back on the cross-trainer for the first time and unfortunately my injured calf wasn’t impressed. Appeasing it resulted in a shorter workout with higher intensity. That was followed by a back, lats, traps, and biceps workout:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Monday, May 21:<\/strong> A short core workout after work.<\/p>\n

Tuesday, May 22:<\/strong> An early morning chest, shoulders, triceps, and hamstrings workout with several skipping sessions thrown into the mix!<\/p>\n

Wednesday, May 23:<\/strong> Fly to\u00a0Memphis!<\/p>\n

Friday, May 25:<\/strong> Early morning workout in the Ole Miss Inn fitness center: back biceps, traps, lats, and abs workout with a little skipping. I needed that after a long sleepless flight! Bus ride to Memphis, Civil Rights Museum, Peabody Center, Mississippi River paddleboat buffet, and a beer on Art’s porch.<\/p>\n

Saturday, May 26:<\/strong> Push-ups, shouders, triceps, sides, and a little abs in a hotel right by Memphis Airport.<\/p>\n

Sunday, May 27: <\/strong>Some skipping and calf raises in front of John’s place in Alexandria!<\/p>\n

Monday, May 28:<\/strong> YMCA, Pease St! Back, biceps, traps, lats, sides, and lower back followed by 4.4 miles on a very cool spin bike:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And that was it for the month owing to a very very hectic hectic NAFSA conference.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
