enchanted
i had a great workout today, and finally got back on the stairs after being too sick/congested for the past week and a half.
however, i felt a little weak, or at least not stronger than last week. this is a result of several factors:
- having a respiritory tract infection for the past 10 days
- not eating much the past week, and the last 24 hours in particular
- not taking a day of rest this week
it's sort of counter-intuitive, but i get in better shape when i eat more and take a day off.

50 flights of stairs with 20# weight vest: 19:34

total time to complete: 37:37
These are pretty good times considering what i wrote above.

10 minutes stairmaster
Fran
21-15-9
thrusters (45#)
pull ups (modified)
time to complete: 3:19
personal best! beat my record by 21 seconds!
I didn't have to take a break at all. The first time I tried Fran, about 3 months ago, I could barely make it through just the first set. And that was using 35# for thrusters.
muscle group worked: biceps, legs
I did light legs to prevent extreme soreness on leg day.
thrusters as per above
50 squats 65#
200 walking lunges (no weight)
50 flights of stairs with 20# vest
10 flights of stairs with no vest
time to complete: ~24 minutes
10 minutes stairmaster
By this time, I had been at the gym for over two hours and was rapidly losing steam.
The lady at the front desk stopped me and asked if I was a fire fighter. She said she had heard that. Strange. She said her son is a fireman. I'm not a fire fighter, but I guess I am trying to save souls from going to hell, so that is sorta related.
A lot of people ask where I got my weight vest. Some guy asked me last night, and I had to once again say that it was a gift and I have no idea where to get them. Oh well, they probably couldn't handle it anyway.

recovering
I have been sick with strep throat or some horrible infection for the past couple of days, and I've been in bed asleep for most of it. Hence, I have not worked out in three days.
Today I ventured in the gym for a light abs and biceps workout, and I did 50 minutes on the Stairmaster.

I am able to curl 25# dumbbells for several sets of 6 reps. Next week I will try 30#. I also curled 6 reps of 55# with a spotter on the barbell.

There is a guy in the gym who walks around like he owns it, and he even has a little bald sidekick and several young guys who comprise his entourage. He interrupted my workout to tell me to "Smile." If he told a dude, "Smile," he would have gotten his you-know-what beaten.
Usually when people tell me what to do, I want to obey them. Psych.

hieronymous
It rhymes with anonymous.
No name crossfit:
Five rounds of max reps
push ups
pull ups (modified)
I did about 10 of each during each round. It took me about five minutes. It felt kind of lame, but I needed a lighter workout. The last two nights have been intense.
The guy who is stalking my boyfriend appeared out of nowhere and asked, "Where's Joe?" I replied, "He's out saving lives." The guy went on awkwardly for five minutes about how I look like I've lost weight (I haven't), and am I sure I didn't lose weight (I am), and my stomach looks leaner (uh, thanks?), and he is now down to one beer every two days but it's not helping his gut (okay, then). He also went on about how he noticed me two years ago and how he thinks I'm in better shape now (true, but I declined to comment). I never noticed the guy until about two months ago when he came up to compliment my boyfriend's stamina at the gym.
I felt really tired tonight, and I was ravenously hungry on my way home, which is unusual for me.

snow cherries from france
It is snowing in Atlanta. I feel sick tonight; my heart rate was around 180 when I finished climbing stairs. I think I am coming down with something.

I am happy with this time, as it is similar to my time with no weight vest when I first started running stairs 4-6 months ago.
