Oh yeah!  Today is my day.  Today, I’m the windshield and life is the bug.

I was hydrated, caffeinated, and proteinated (What?!? Hell’s yeah that’s a word.  Somewhere.) pretty early this morning, without the usual sorry butt dragging out of sorry bed routine.

Started off with hanging leg raises (12,11,10,10).  BOOYAH!!  10 reps or more for every set was a great way to start my workout.

Moved on to oblique cable crunches (15,13,12,10).  Okay feeling on these.  I’m sure it’ll get better, the more I do it.

Finished off with weighted hyperextensions (12,10,10,10). I’m loving that feeling in my lower back.

Cardio was the bike and I didn’t care.  I had an all-star lineup of music behind me, led by Metallica’s version of "Whiskey in the Jar", and nothing was standing in my way today.

In addition to Metallica, there was a little STP (Down), a bit of Creed (only a bit, I said. "My Sacrifice." There’s only so much of that crap I can take.) Hell, I even had some Jay-Z (99 problems).

My new tempo pace I started last month is much easier now.  My heart rate was between 163-168 BPM and I didn’t feel challenged by it.   I went 50 minutes (three minute warm-up.  Three minute cool down.)  I almost went longer, but caught myself just in time.

Currently I’m hopped up on energy.  I had a great workout and that buzz is going to carry me through the day.

MUSHA RING DUMMA DO DAMMA DA!!
