Lower Back Problems…
So, Yesterday I had another lower back problem. After several days of recovering from a lower back injury from squatting (pulled muscle in left lower back) I have seemed to pulled the muscle in my right lower back. My only guess is that when running yesterday, I favored the non-injured side to the point that I hurt it. This is really becoming frustrating as I’m trying to get past the 200 lb mark by the end of this month. We will see what happens!
Ab Riper X
Tonight I did another installment of P90X’s Ab Riper X. My core feels like jello – but if that wasn’t enough I decided to do a quick 5K run after. The run wasn’t that bad actually, even though my thighs were a bit sore. Tomorrow I will be taking off from cardio, and I’ll be doing legs at the gym. It’s suppose to ran anyway, so not a good day for running.
On another note, I weighed today and was at 206. I’m getting closer and closer to dropping below the 200 lb mark, and I can’t wait to get there!
2010 Goals
So, I decided one of the first things I should write down are some goals of mine. Since September 21st of 2009, I’ve gotten into fitness and eating right. At that point in time, i was ~ 260 pounds and was running about a 11 minute mile (for just 1 mile). At the time of this post, I’m now 210 and have gotten my single mile time into the 7:30 area. My 5k time has improved to about 27 minutes. So, now for status quot stats, and goal stats.
~~~Current~~~~
- Weight: 210
- 5k Time: 27:00
- Max Pull Ups: 6
- Bench Press: 270
~~~ April 1st, 2010 Numbers ~~~
- Weight: 190
- 5k Time: 25:00
- Max Pull Ups: 12
- Bench Press: 280
I don’t anticipate making a ton of strength gains – much of the muscle and strength that I currently have are all left overs from my senior year of College (2005) where I had about a 320 bench and could do almost as many pull ups as I can now (4 or 5). My weight goal of 190 will be the lightest I’ve been since 8th grade of High School, so that’s a big part of my overall goal.
Good luck to me!
