Andrew's Day Off: 532PM

I'm back from the gym, a little sweatier for the wear, but refreshed after a nice work out.

A couple of months back (it's fun to be able to say that) I lamented that illness and overwork were keeping me from living as healthy a lifestyle as I'd hoped to live here at the Forward Edge.

Some few weeks ago I began a concerted effort to correct the habits I'd fallen into. I began to get back to regular work outs, and to date I've had decent (but not great) results. For example, I mentioned my mediocre APFT performance earlier in the week--which I don't see as entirely representative as I was purposefully holding back (suck it, Army!)--but I'm still not in as good of shape as I was in mid to late January after 30 workouts in 30 days.

For the last several weeks I've been good about working out at least twice each week. I know that doesn't sound like much, especially when there is a free, well stocked gym that is literally on the way from my hooch to my office (which is only a 4 minute walk to begin with). So really, there is no excuse to miss work outs...but some how or other I let life get the best of me, and running twice a week is understandable, at least, if not excusable.

Still, I got my workout in today, and it felt pretty good. If I can boost my workouts from 2-3 times a week to 3-4 times a week I think that I'll be in pretty decent shape--literally and figuratively.

That's it for now--I'll probably see you one more time before I head to church in an hour or so.
