Day 6: Short and Simple

Workout today was sweet overall.  I find myself already beginning to fall into a "routine".  I don't have to force myself to work out anymore; I just sort of do it.  I have the luxury of being able to work out in the the mornings, before I get involved in hanging out with friends or playing videogames.  Once I start working in a week or two, the challenge will be to keep up my schedule, even after a full day of work.  But I'm determined to do it.

I'm still on the very end of this cold, so I'm still coughing up mucous (yum!).  I had to stop cardio three times again so I could do so; luckily, cardio felt easier today, and I got back up to my average 2.3 miles.  It's a real shame, because I feel like if I had just 30 seconds to a minute longer, I'd be able to get up to 2.4 easily.  Oh well, it'll happen one day soon.  I watched Animaniacs for my cardio and it worked very well as workout viewing.

Weights were good overall.  I finally figured out how to incline my bench so I could do incline presses.  I fucking hate the bench though - it can't go 90 degrees, and when it's flat, the barbell holding mechanism gets in the way.  I don't understand why my dad even bought the thing when we had a perfectly usable bench before; in fact, the only reason I would even GET a new bench would be so it could go to 90 degrees.  And my dad doesn't even know how to work out really, so the new bench is a mystery.

Anyways - the weight work.  Bicycle exercise was KILLER, but my form is getting better overall and everything is feeling good.  If you haven't seen the Day 2 workout yet, you can check it out here.

On another note, my arms don't hurt today!  This could mean one of several things: A) I worked out too hard and my arms haven't even started recovering yet, B) I stretched properly, C) I didn't work out hard enough, D) my body is already beginning to adapt to my workout schedule, E) a combination of some or all of the above.  Anyone got any insight on this?

I think that's going to be all for today.
