• General: Sorry for not blogging too much the last couple days. Some nights I went out, some nights I didn't have internet access, some nights I was just lazy. Hit a shit load of PRs this week, most notably on bench press. I should've hit a triple on 225x3 but my spotter helped me lift the bar up (which pissed me off greatly) so I can't count it. Also, I'm really getting into my gymnastics class. I'm going to start going to open gym on Thursday nights to work on some of my ring routines which should help me greatly with upper body strength. I may not start going until January though. Another thing- I'm going to put up a video of me singing the song I wrote a few days ago pretty soon. I had it as a goal for 2011 and I want there to be tangible evidence-- if I lose a few followers over my voice that's cool.
• Nutrition: It was awesome a couple of days, not so hot a few of those days.
• Body: Good. I tried deadlifting last night light but my back didn't want it so I stopped.
• Sleep: Been pretty damn good minus one night where I only slept like 5 hours.
• Reflections: I've got some really big news that I'm thrilled about. I am signed up for the one hundred mile race that I will finish. The Viaduct Trail Marathon in Lanesboro, PA. I inquired on it last year and somehow got on the RD's mailing list. He sent out an early registration to his email list today and I didn't even hesitate. 18 minutes after it opened I was received word that I got a spot and they would see me next summer. This race looks awesome- lots of history and it's in a place I've never been to before. Something about the Ghost Train didn't sit well with me. I wasn't trained for it, it just never felt like it was my turn to get the 100 under my belt. With every bit of power I have over the outcome this race will be my first completed 100m race. Everything about this race feels good to me and it's time to finally face my greatest challenge and spend the next 8 months getting as ready as I can for it while also working on my other goals. Speaking of, I've nearly finalized 2012's goal list and that will be posted in a couple weeks.
