bodybuilding vs athletic ability
I have adapted some athletic track and field training into my workouts because it is so much closer than the gym. It was difficult! I found that while I can go on a stairmaster for 30 minutes, running bleachers for 5 rounds killed me! It is an EXCELLENT realization!
So I am working on incorporating athletic based workout in 3 days a week. Any good pointers from people on good exercises? I have been doing 3 min round based workouts of bleachers, sprints with pushups/situps, suicides, bearwalks down the bleachers, ladder/hop-skotch, shadowboxing(of course that has to be worked in! 
)
Additions would be helpful so maybe I can do different things each time!
Diet needs to improve drastically. I feel 80% confidant in my abilities to eat right but the last 20% (usually between friday and monday!) kill me. I don’t end up cheating the whole weekend, but need to stick it to one meal ONLY.
With holidays coming around I think my goal is going to be to stick where I am and make gains in my abilities(ie improved cardio and weights), hopefully changes in my body will follow:
Following goals between now and 12/2009
1)Improve my time to run one mile by 3 mins (under 10 minute mile)
2) Increase weight ranges by 30-50%
3) Perform 10 sets of pull-ups

It’s great that you have goals. Go out and meet them. Best of luck. I feel training outside of the gym occasionaly keeps things interesting.
