Wrath14’s BodyBlog

Funny I am really starting to enjoy running. I always hated it in the past but maybe it was just were I was running. I don’t know about other gyms but 24 hour fitness just is not that interesting to look at after awhile. Ever since I started running on the trial along the river I just want to go out and run more, I think right now I am enjoy it even more then lifting or MMA. I also stated to get books on CD and loading them up on my IPOD. I use to think about how tired I was or how my feet hurt or what ever. But with a good book my mind stay on that and my body just keeps going. Yester day I missed my morning work out but I ran longer then I ever had before. I just really think it is wired how something I use to hate doing with a few changes is something I am really starting to enjoy.

Today was one of those days when I wake up and the first thing that comes to my mind is to go back to sleep and just work our tomorrow. I hate days like this when it just seems like everything takes more effort then it should. I made it to the gym and started my work out and all of the exercises were compound ones and they real started to take a toll on me. When I go to Clean and Press I could hear my self say “come on you had a hard work out you can skip this”. I think every one has that voice the one that tells you to stop or just skip it and it can come up with a 100 reasons why you should. There is another voice that keeps saying “you can do it come on don’t give in”. So I was faced with taking the easy way out and going home or pushing my self to the limit. I added 20 pounds over what I usually do and pumped out 2 hard sets of 6 reps each. I was close to falling over when I was done. You know what that was the best feeling I have had so far this week.

I am starting to feel a lot better; I think I am over the cold. Now to get back to training I have switched up my left days this week to Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.

I never talk at the gym I don’t even say hi usually I figure I am here to work out and so is every one else. I work out early in the morning at 5:00am so it is usually the same people there all the time any way. There is this one guy that I would like to talk to this guy shows up every day and does the same stuff all the time and he is ripped and always getting stronger. He ended up saying hi to me one morning and we go to talking.

He works out 3 days a week hard as hell and he just does compound exercises all he changes is the reps same exercises all the time. He has to be one of the strongest guys at the gym. I am going to go ahead and give his work out a try for a week and see how I like it. I was planning on doing it last week but with my cold I figured it be wise not to push my self to hard and risk my cold getting worse or prolonging its stay.

Man being sick sucks, right when I am starting to get in to my training I get a cold. I have been taking vitamin C and Zican to help fight it off but I still feel run down. I skipped my work out for the past 2 days I am going to do a little jogging today at lunch. I am hoping by Friday I can start lifting again.
