First Season almost over

(I'm staring at the title....and can't believe that's all I could come up with.....Hhhhhhhhhh).  The title refers to American Horror Story.  I have one episode left.....then I move on to the next series.  Not sure which yet.  Firefly, Falling Skies, Dresdin Files.........JFord gave  me some suggestions too......Since I have some LONG trainer rides in the near future, I can probably crank thru all these shows that I missed on TV that all the kids are talking about......


Short post today:

Last night did 1:50 on the trainer followed by 3x10 of resistance band exercises on bi's, tri's, back, shoulders.  I then did push-up/sit up's, doing 100 push ups and 250 crunches bringing the grand total to.....

Total Crunches: 2000


(in order to hit my goal of 7000, I need to do 312 per day, every day thru the end of the month.....)


Tomorrow is my daughters 7th birthday.  Party is on Saturday at a Lego place called Bricks 4 Kids.  Pretty cool concept.  I think it's a franchise type place so look it up if you have school aged children.

Tomorrow morning, I'm going to get up around 5:30 when the wife wakes up and run to the donut shop to get J some donuts for her birthday.  Total surprise and something that we don't normally do.

What a shitty night....

Yesterday was a good day....aside from meeeting with attorneys all day (they are our attorneys so it's better than meeting with the plantiffs att'ys) but when I got home the stomach wasn't right.  Ate a little dinner and then I ran.....I ran back and forth from the couch to the potty (hence the title of the blog).  4 mile run was probably a 1/4 mile run with my running in the house.  Can I count that as speed work?

Managed to get in 100 crunches yesterday morning but am falling way behind in the challenge.  I talked a little too much smack to the group.  I'm going to have to jump all over this challenge if I'm going to have a fighting chance.

Tonight is an hour and a half on the trainer.  I'm feeling better and haven't sprinted since about midnight so hopefully whatever was in there isn't there anymore.  Love the trainer now as I'm knee deep into American Horror Story.......


Total crunches (through 2/6):  600

Do Over Day?

Man....yesterday was a day from hell (it did get better).....as what I deal with is confidential in nature, I'll just say that I got a pretty egregious alligation against a manager in my company.  However, the way that my boss thought I handled it....he...well....ripped me a new one.  In the end, the manager was terminated, my boss and I 'hugged it out' and the day ended well.  Oh...and I was late for the first time in my career....ever.  I am never late, unless it's planned.  We got a late start at home, it was foggy, every light was red, every car was slow, every school zone had a crossing guard letting kids across.....it was a comedy of errors.

Last night was 1:30 on the trainer, but as things ALWAYS go as planned (hint of sarcasm), I ended up running around town looking for a 50 foot long Cat5 cord.  So....by the time I got home and changed it was 9:15, I was menatally done and didn't want to ride.  However, I thought WWJD (what would JFord do)?  He would say "Do Work" and make it happen....so that's what I did.  Just did 1:10.

Also...I had about 20 minutes left on American Horror Story which is getting weirder (more weird?) by the episode....but still intrigued and confused.  I cranked out 200 situps to end the night.

This morning went a lot better.


Total Crunches (through 2/5):  500

Bike Fit Day

Ok....I'm a little 'sited about this.  Headed to the Tri Shop in Plano today for my fit.  Got the bike loaded up in the Tahoe, backpack with shorts, shoes, etc.....and I was told to "bring my legs" because I should be prepared to ride. 

Nevermind the fact that I did 1:15 on the bike last night.....

Speaking of, I decided that I'd start waching a TV series because the trainer and I will (and are) become BFF's.  At the recomendation of a fellow BT'er.....Cord (Big Appa), I started watching "Amercian Horror Story".  Holy. Crap!!!!!  Now, let me preface this by saying that I absolutly love scary movies and horror movies.  The scarier the better.  However....not much scares me.  I will watch these types of movies in the dead of night with the lights off.......but this.....this show....WOW.  There were a few parts that had me a little edgy.  I'm only through about 17 minutes of the second show, but I can tell that this is going to be a quick series for me, especially with the time I'm going to be logging.

Any recomendations for another series to watch (I think Amazon Prime and/or NetFlix has both seasons of AHS on it....but will take a recommendation for another series).  Preferably the LOL type of comedy (Happy Endings, Family Guy, etc) or something scary/intriging.

Tonight is a 4 mile run but it's like 40 degrees outside and the wind is around 30mph.  This may have to happen on the treadmill (but then I can finish up the second episode of AHS).....hmmmm....treadmill not looking so bad now!
