Run to Win

I started my latest workout regimen on Tuesday, and today was the second of the two workouts that will swap back and forth. I am only lifting twice a week, and running for the rest of the week (except this weekend when I will be moving boxes and heavy furniture into my new house). The first two weeks I will be doing 15 reps of each exercise, then the next two weeks will be 12 reps, and the last two weeks will be 8 reps. I really like Tuesday’s workout, but I am going to have to tweak today’s workout pretty heavily, I think.

Going on the no new reviews bit, I will not be doing the regular researched updates such as animated how tos or workout tips. I reserve the right to put them up anyway, but I am getting rid of my internet access and too busy packing to move into my new house I am buying at the end of the week.

There’ll be sporadic updates over the next few weeks but I’m not committing myself to anything at this point. Once I have internet access set up at my new home I will begin posting regularly again.

Every weekend over the next few months, I am going to be examining each of the New Rules of Lifting from Lou Schuler and Alwyn Cosgrove’s new book. This is rule #5.

The goal of each workout is to set a record.

There will (most likely) not be any new reviews for the next 2 to 3 weeks.

Adam Vinatieri signed with the Colts last night. Wait, what? All you heard about was how the Patriots were not offering the money, and how Adam Vinatieri had been talking to Green Bay. Where did the Colts come from?

Adam Vinatieri agreed to a contract with the Indianapolis Colts, and the difference between the money in Indy and Foxboro wound up being chump change against Bill Belichick�s salary cap and relative nickels against Bob Kraft�s bottom line. Perhaps the best clutch kicker in the history of the NFL and one of the most popular athletes Boston ever has known now is wearing enemy colors because the Pats refused to budge off their hard-line philosophy.
