Monday: I went over to the gym to work with Tally. The only problem was that I totally forgot that he drove up to Charleston to train at a gym up there. Oh, well. I got some really good resistance training in today.

Dumbbell chest press 3 x 8 40lb dumbbells
Rows on machine 3 x 8 using 6 plates or so (I just set it so the resistance is good)
Power cleans 10 x 75lbs, 8 x 95lbs, 6 x 110lbs, 10 x 65lbs
Lat pull down 3 x 8 7 plates or so
Overhead dumbbell press 3 x 8 30lb dumbbells
Tricep pressdown 3 x 8 3 plates
Bicep curls using EZ curl bar 3 x 8 55lbs
Lateral Raises using dumbbells 3 x 8 20lb dumbbells

I didn't get much else done. It was beastly hot that day and I felt like crap all day. I was just glad I got such a good resistance training session in

Tuesday

4 x 350m intervals with one minutes rest in between (jogged 3/4 of a mile to interval running area and walked the 3/4 mile back)
Speed bag 4 x 2 minute rounds
Heavy bag focusing on jabs and crosses 4 x 2 minute rounds
Shadow boxing using a dyna band for resistance 3 x 2 minute rounds

I started off feeling pretty good but then my stomach started to give me some grief during the heavy bag rounds. It felt tight and a bit painful. It might be somehow related to the heat, high humidity, and massive amounts of pollen in the air. It makes it harder to breath and I'm not so sure how much impact its having on oxygen exchange. Almost all of my neighbors have been feeling a bit under the weather since the chesnut trees bloomed. Felt fine after resting a bit. I'm going to try to turn in earlier to make sure I get adequate rest.
