(Incomplete)"},"content":{"rendered":"

Wednesday, August 1:<\/strong> My vacation get-fit program continues into the very hot month of August and began with a really hard weights session: back, biceps, traps, lats, forearms, sides, lower back, and abs plus the usual skipping sets. I also rode about 20 kilometres on my bike, but that was too leisurely to warrant\u00a0a cardio diary photo. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Thursday, August 2:<\/strong> A seven-kilometre treadmill run followed by calf raises and quite a few skipping sets. And a total of\u00a015 kilometres on my bike throughout the day:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Friday, August 3: <\/strong>Chest, shoulders, triceps, and skipping in the gym quite early and then to the pool for a leisurely 1 km swim (my shoulders were tired). And according to my new bike’s new computer I pedalled 17.5 kilometres throughout the day:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Saturday, August 4:<\/strong> Just a leisurely 17 km bike ride to Home Plus in the evening to pick up a new gym shirt.<\/p>\n

Sunday, August 5:<\/strong> 1.8 kilometre swim!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Monday, August 6:<\/strong> 55 minutes on my favourite cross-trainer watching an episode of The Mentalist, a legs workout, some skipping, my first ever Pirates class (and to be frank, my last), and all up throughout the day I rode 22.5 kilometres:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Tuesday, August 7:<\/strong> Up surprisingly early and since it\u00a0felt surprisingly cool, I decided to take my newish bike for a more significant ride. 41 kilometres in total, pretty much a full marathon:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Wednesday, August 8:<\/strong> A 2-hour workout today: 8.5 kilometres on my favorite treadmill followed by a back, biceps, traps, and lats workout with some skipping to wrap things up:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Thursday, August 9:<\/strong> Triathlon day! A 1.3 kilometre swim,\u00a0 a 6 kilometre run, a 25 kilometre bike ride, and some weights (legs) and skipping. I love being on vacation!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Friday, August 10:<\/strong> An easier day today with just a chest, shoulders, and triceps workout followed by some\u00a0 more skipping.<\/p>\n

Saturday, August 11:<\/strong> A world record 95-minute cross-trainer session with an episode of The Mentalist\u00a0helping pass the time, and that was followed by more skipping and a lower back workout:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Sunday, August 12:<\/strong> Boxing Day! My first time using the gym at the pool I go to. They have a punching bag and a machine for seated calf raises. And I surely need that as those are the muscles (both legs) I’ve strained in the past while running. I need to strengthen those babies up if my half marathon career is to continue. So today’s workout consisted of some bag punching, skipping, calf raises, abs, and a 1.3 kilometre swim:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Monday, August 13: <\/strong>I walked to the gym (7 kilometer round trip) and did a really heavy legs workout and I ended with quite a bit of skipping.<\/p>\n

Tuesday, August 14:<\/strong> A huge back workout, a ton of skipping, and 5.5 treadmill kilometres:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Thursday, August 16:<\/strong> Seven treadmill kilometres, more skipping, and a very solid chest, shoulders, and triceps workout. And I’m now officially sick of exercising:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Friday, August 17:<\/strong> I almost made it to gym, but when I was almost there I decided it was the last place in the world I wanted to be so I turned around and rode home.<\/p>\n

Saturday, August 18: <\/strong>Nine treadmill kilometres today in 62 minutes. I spent the first 15 minutes walking up an incline watching Flight of the Concords season 2 episode 2 on my iPad. I jogged\/ran the rest of the time. A little skipping afterwards and a light leg workout:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Sunday, August 19:<\/strong> A 1.2 kilometre swim followed by some boxing, a little ab work, and some calf raises. And that’s it, vacation’s over:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Monday, August 20:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wednesday, August 22:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Saturday, August 25:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Monday, August 27:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Tuesday, August 28:<\/strong><\/p>\n
