Monday, May 1:\u00a0<\/strong>I made it to the gym after a huge power nap in my office and despite a lingering,\u00a0annoying cold. The nap did me good though, and I ended up completing a pretty impressive – by my standards – workout: lats, biceps, back, abs, lower back, and 68 treadmill minutes. Not a bad start to the month. (Cumulative Total: 68)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Tuesday, May 2:\u00a0<\/strong>Seventy-four treadmill minutes, and unless I’m mistaken, that’s my nagging cold taken care of. (Cumulative Total: 142)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Wednesday, May 3: <\/strong>I added another 48 minutes to this month’s already impressive total.\u00a0(Cumulative Total: 190)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Friday, May 5: <\/strong>Two treadmill sessions (21 and 16 minutes) with weights between and after: chest, shoulders, triceps, and traps.\u00a0(Cumulative Total: 274)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Saturday, May 6:\u00a0<\/strong>I still have a niggling sore throat, but it may be because of the pollution rather than a cold. Not good either way I guess. Ended up at the gym in the afternoon for a lighter session: 28 treadmill minutes and weights: sides, abs, lower back, calves, and forearms.\u00a0(Cumulative Total: 302)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Sunday, May 7: <\/strong>Sunday is usually my rest day, but I did not rest this Sunday. Instead, I added another 69 treadmill minutes to this month’s total.\u00a0(Cumulative Total: 371)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Wednesday, May 10: <\/strong>Unplanned rest day. I had intended working out quite late, but a few things came up. I do feel fresher Thursday morning as a result, so it’s not\u00a0the end of the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Monday, May 15:<\/strong> A little weights session: biceps, sides, abs, lower back, lats, back, and calves. Not that intense though as my heart and head just weren’t totally in the game.

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Thursday, May 18: <\/strong>I had to drag myself to the gym at the close of a very long day. Consequently, my workout wasn’t that intense. Just a light chest, shoulders, traps, triceps, and calves workout followed by 22 treadmill minutes. I was ready to leave then, but courageously stayed for some core work and another 22 treadmill minutes, which helped to salvage the night.\u00a0<\/strong>(Cumulative Total: 886)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Friday, May 19: <\/strong>One hundred and twenty five treadmill minutes.\u00a0(Cumulative Total: 1,011)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Saturday, May 20: <\/strong>Music won over exercise today, but I ate well and had just a sip of beer, and that’s no small feat considering I spent most of the day at a beer festival surrounded by evil.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
