Workout sheets

I added the workout sheets for the Push-ups and the Sit-ups. I'm still working on the running log sheet. I'm not sure how I'm going to do that one but i should have something by next weeks start time. So follow along, go to the workout page and you should find the links to my log sheets.
I'm finding more and more stuff to play with on the WWW that i can attach to this blog. I think after i get some workouts posted I'll try and slide some graphs in for you graphy type people. If anyone has any other ideas for the Blog, drop me a comment.

So let's get started

Well time to get busy. Tonight we have to get the workout started. Both the 100 push-ups and the 200 sit-ups are from the same site on the web. they have a few more, we will be adding another later this year. I have been doing the push-up work out already with good success. i stopped when i started the blog and decided to restart that work out and use the blog to chart it. The sit ups i have not done, i mean really 200 sit ups? who's wise ass ideas was that!! BUT we need to do something to get ready for the Oct 30 plan. so i will get the chart on the blog and do the pretest on both this weekend to see where we start at. I'm heading to Vegas next week for work so i will have access to a treadmill, so the running begins next week as well. Are you people ready because i know I'm not. This is gonna hurt!

Bright Idea #2

I have a friend name Dave. We have been friends for a very long time. Keep in mind that our personalities are very different. He is a plan and master kind of guy, I, on the other hand am a just jump in and destroy kind of guy. One thing we have in common is we like to do silly fun things. So, the other night we were in the same city for our respected work type stuff and met for dinner. "Famous Dave's" a nice B.B.Q. place. We talked about old times, old friends and old jokes. Some where he said "go on-line and check out Warrior Dash" I did.
The rest of the night was one of Bob's friendly arguments, something like "what are stupid or something". Let me explain. The warrior dash is a 3 mile run and at the end of it is this rough looking obstacle coarse. Mud, hills, barbed wire. I said Barbed wire!! The rest of the night I would call him on his cell and DAVE!! I can't do this! I don't run, I don't have barbed wire, I blah, blah and so on. And then, he said it. They have one in the Sacramento area. They Do? And then I said hey! You get a cool Viking hat and medal at the end and big party!.....wait for it...."LET'S DO IT" yep that's what came out of my mind. What was I thinking? OH that's right I wasn't!!
The date for the Sacramento warrior Dash is Oct. 30. I have plenty of time to train. So here comes the Blog. I should have a count down time for you soon for that and all work outs that I am use plus how I'm doing on them. The only thing I do not have is a costume! That’s right a costume. They say all costumes are welcome and encouraged. Well, let's get our thinking caps on for that one..I put a link on the blog for you, you soon see that it's not as killer as we first thought. It's going to be tough so a lot of training will be needed.

Bright Idea #1

I remember when i was a kid watching TV, All 3 channels. I watched the Brady Bunch a lot back then, nothing wrong with that. As i remember it i was watching on episode where the family went on a vacation, they loaded the station wagon up with the whole family. They even took Alice! where did they go? THE GRAND CANYON!!! this was great, they went on vacation to the Canyon. they rode mules to the bottom, camped out, bobby and Cindy got lost, Indians, Blah, blah blah!! they were fine and went home. At that point in life i said "YOU CAN GO DOWN TO THE BOTTOM"? who knew? "That would be so cool" i thought.
WELL!! here i am a big kid now and a few years later, yes i said a few..i was talking to neighbor Larry one day and he was telling me a story of his, He has many. He talked of a camping trip he has taken, YEP!!!! the Grand Canyon!!! I said "LARRY"
BRADY BUNCH!, Vacation, Alice Blah blah blah!!! that would be soooo cool! and then he said it. let's go. COOL!!!
NOW, here comes reality. The trip goes like this. It's a 4 day event, we hike DOWN the Canyon to the Havasupai Indian tribe(8 miles)then 2 miles to the camp ground, this where i tell you we have no modern facilities, no fires, no phones, no TV. WOW! and we spend 2 days down there, AND THEN WE HIKE OUT!!??!! what was i thinking. oh yea, i wasn't!! The Date is April 28 and i placed a countdown for ya. so follow along and have fun.

In The Begining was "BLOG"

So, Why? That is the question we have asked. Why the Blog? Why not, I guess. I have a lot of friends all over the world. We sit and talk about the fun things out in the world and someone always says "let’s do it" or "I'm going to do". As I get a LITTLE older I find myself doing more goofy stuff. As I tell my stories, people laugh and say that sounded great! So! Here is now where I will put my stories for anyone to look at and enjoy.
I plan on listing MANY, MANY things the plans, the ideas, who started the ideas, and toys I get for the ideas, anything that I can think of really. So sit back and enjoy. I know I will!! Feel free to write comments, ask questions, and give more ideas, JOIN IN on the ideas. Meet the people. Have Fun!!!
