Day Three of Week 5


  So I didn't bother to get up early enough to run, I could hear the rain pouring down and knowing it was around 30-35 degrees and the streets would have loads of puddles.... all of my training shoes are still relatively new damn it. And I am not going to run on a treadmill because that would be like cheating on Rocky AND the gym keeps the temperature around 70 degrees, if I am going to run on a treadmill it has got to be no more than 60 degrees inside.
  So I got up at 4 AM, got dressed and headed to the gym with a plan to mainly focus on the back but add some leg workouts in there as well. I did an hour and a half at the gym, I increased the sets from 4 to 6 but dropped some of the reps back down a little and I am considering doing some abdominal work at home before work but we'll see how I feel after doing a bit of house cleaning.

   I am debating about running tomorrow, but I wonder if it would be better to give my legs a day of rest after the last couple of days of leg strengthening. If I am feeling up for it, it would most likely be no more than 3 miles and very easy/slow. We'll see how things go :)
