So I’m sittting here wondering why I have been so non-productive today.  I had lots of plans, but somehow I have managed to make it to the end of the day without accomplishing very much.  Can’t say that I’m tired or anything, I just don’t seem to have alot of motivation today.  I did get my workout in, although I skipped my cardio at the end.  I’ll make up for t tomorrow, though.  It’s supposed to be my day off, but i will go in and do 1 hour of cardio, plus some ab work.  I really wish that I could still run outside.  Those hourlong runs used to be just the ticket to clear my mind and give me time to be in my own world.  But my quest to build some quads has ended those nice runs.  I am now caught in the world of sprints and stairs, where everything most be done quickly, and little time given for things such as clearing the mind. I must now focus and channel all my energy and attention into each explosive thrust of my legs. 

Yesterday, I did legs with focus on quads.  I did more sets with higher reps and lower weight than I usually use.  Focused on really feeling the burn and completely exhausting my muscles.  Routine went like this.
