New Year Post

“May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you’re wonderful, and don’t forget to make some art — write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself.”
~ Neil Gaiman

from Edmund Burke

“All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.”

Beware of Lunges.

Thursday (11/10) Workout:
Treadmill – ran 1/4 mile @ 7.5 mph (2 min)

Four Circuits of:
Lungewalk 6 strides
Machine Chinups 5 reps @ (-140#) (underhand)
Machine Dips 5 reps @ (-120#)

Then:
Machine Twists 25/25 @ 30#
Machine Crunches 50 @ 50#

And:
Treadmill – ran 1/4 mile @ 7.5 mph

The lunges hurt. Halfway through our legs were tightening up.
The run was hard to finish (I didn’t quite make it).

Sound advice.
