Running
Today I ran 1 mile in less than 8 minutes. I need a new battery in my watch, but once I get that set up I'll be able to chronograph my times running.

Calisthenics
Today I did 6 handstand pushups, 5x10 triangle pushups, and 50 situps. My triceps and shoulders ache, and I'm hurting in awkward places.

Calisthenics
35 pushups this morning, 35 pushups tonight. I strained my back a little while running last night so I'm not going to do crunches or sit ups until tomorrow.

Running, calisthenics
I ran 4 miles in 40 minutes to burn off 570 calories. I'm taking a rest week from lifting weights. I think I may be overtraining, so I'm concentrating on just pushups, situps, squats, and reverse pushups.
40 pushups for today.
40 pushups for today.

Running
Tonight I ran 3 miles in 34 degree weather, I think. I know I ran for 30 minutes. I need to remind myself to slow down to a jog pace to prevent me from hurting myself.

Breaking goals
When I first started lifting weights I had a goal of being able to bench press my weight. Nevermind that I could do that 15 times or more by pull ups and 50 times by dips. So I finally accomplished that about 2 months back by breaking 180. Now I'm able to bench press 195, and I'm looking to break 200. My weight lifting exercise book has a chart that gives you an idea of what your one rep maximum is. Since I'm able to bench press 195 pounds a maximum of three times, that means I could theoretically bench press 207. And because I theoretically broke my goal, I shall theoretically celebrate with some theoretical champagne.
