I do like the start of any exercise regime after a long absence. The gains come instantly. It is already easier to do crunches.
Meanwhile, I saw the new Sherlock Holmes late Tuesday night. Respectably enjoyable despite probably having Sir Arthur Conan Doyle rolling over in his grave.

Well, the plan was to go to the gym. It’s been so long that I had myself convinced the gym closed at 10:00, so that if I left the house around 8:45, I’d get there and have enough time to do Monday’s routine and shower.
Silly me, they close at 9:00. So I came home and did the workout listed above. The push-ups were easier to do than they were on the 1st. I forgot that the crunches are now three sets of eleven and blew it on the second set. Oh, well; at least I did them.

Completion of three sets of crunches at 10 each means I will graduate to 11 each this week. It’s a Sunday, so I didn’t do much. Tomorrow is just around the corner, and that means back to the gym for a new year and a better body!
Cardio: - Walk/Jog Mix — 2.25 mi @ 35 min
+First mile = 15.5 min
+Avg. mile = 15.5 min
After at least three months away from any serious cardio, I went out to the high school track today. The weather warmed up enough to where it seemed like a good idea, though there was definitely a nippy breeze that took advantage of all that wide open space to hit me in the face every time I was heading north.
All that time away from fitness definitely set me back. It was a disappointing feeling but I didn’t let it shut me down.

Well, if you’ve followed my history of fitness at all, you know I am one to be constantly starting, never following through. It is a bad way I have with a lot of things in my life, not just working out.
