Sunday, March 2:<\/strong>\u00a0 I started March with a pretty intense weights session at the Hamilton Hotel: back, biceps, lats, traps, forearms, and calves. I had hoped to start March’s campaign the day before, but I forgot that March 1 was a public holiday, and my two local gyms were both closed. Lazy gyms and lazy gym staff!<\/p>\n

Monday, March 3:<\/strong> A sub-58 minute 10-kilometre run and a core workout. My accident and injury prone calves felt 100%:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Tuesday, March 4:<\/strong> A quick chest, shoulders, and triceps workout. And no more exercise until Saturday due to a 6-hour TV interview shoot, a trip to Immigration, and an orientation for my morning classes. Busy few days!<\/p>\n

Saturday, March 8:<\/strong> A 5.8 kilometer run that was tragically cut short by Mother Nature. Once I had taken care of her, I continued with abs, sides, lower back, lower abs, and some skipping.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Sunday, March 9:<\/strong>\u00a0A huge weights session that began with calves and traps and finised with lats, back, biceps, hamstrings, inner thighs, and forearms. And I finished with a much-needed and well-deserved large Smoothie King almond banana protein shake with extra protein.<\/p>\n

Tuesday, March 11: <\/strong>A super-fast 7 kilometer run:<\/p>\n

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

Friday, March 14:<\/strong> A shorter than planned fast run (1.7 kilometers) followed by sides, lower back, hamstrings, and calves. O’m glad I made it to the gym because I almost didn’t. Although I wasn;t quite in a workout frame of mind, it was good to get the heart rate up and move some muscles.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Saturday, March 15:<\/strong> A quick back workout before lunch. All the usual suspects: back, lats, traps, and biceps.<\/p>\n

Monday, March 17:<\/strong> I should have run today to get a genuine St. Patrick’s Day cardio photo, but I just did weights instead: chest, shoulder, triceps, abs (upper and lower), and calves.\u00a0I guess the missed run\u00a0was due to Irish Paul staying at my place Saturday night ahead of the APAIE conference<\/a>. You can’t have a quiet night with an Irishman on a St Patrick’s Day weekend. There are lots of familiar names and faces from my old job in Korea this week. Looking forward to catching up with as many as I can.<\/p>\n

Tuesday, March 18: <\/strong>A 2 kilometer run and some weights: sides and lower back. The run should have been longer, but it was interupted by… well that’s a story for another day.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Wednesday, March 19: <\/strong>I was so close to missing this workout. I took an afternoon nap that almost turned into a marathon stay-in-bed session. However, I made it out of bed in time to arrive at the gym 40 minutes before it closed. With no time to waste, I got stuck into it with a 1.2 kilometre spring and my usual back workout.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Thursday, March 20: <\/strong>A quick (and late) weights session: hamstrings, calves, sides, lower back, and lower abs.<\/p>\n

Friday, March 21: <\/strong>A 12.5 kilometer run which was I think\u00a0my longest treadmill run ever. All in preparation for a half marathon on March 30:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Saturday, March 22: <\/strong>A super weights session with a bit of variety today: shoulders first, followed by chest, triceps, and lower back extensions. It felt good to vary my routine up a little, and I think my shoulders got a better workout as a result.<\/p>\n

Sunday, March 23: <\/strong>Back to Itewon for my regularish Sunday workout which today consisted of a 3.6 kilometre uphill trek and weights for my legs, calves, and forearms:<\/p>\n

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

Wednesday, March 26: <\/strong>A short 2.5 kilometre and some (well quite a lot actually) weights: back, biceps, traps, lats, sides, and lower back:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Thursday, March 27: <\/strong>Three uphill treadmill kilometers followed by weights: chest, shoulders, triceps, hamstrings, and calves.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Friday, March 28:<\/strong> Just a 25-minute core workout today: abs, sides, lower back, and lower abs.<\/p>\n

Saturday, March 29:<\/strong> Pre-half marathon workout. An easy-on-the-calves 2 kilometer uphill treadmill treak sandwiched by weights: back, lats, traps, and biceps. Have I done enough for tomorrow’s hilly (mountainous even) half marathon? Absolutely!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Sunday, March 30: <\/strong>Back to Daegu and my old place of work Keimyung University to participate in the half marathon part of Keimyung’s 60th anniversary celebrations. Slow and steady, slow and steady…<\/p>\n
