Week 4, Tuesday:

My usual Tuesday crunches and circuit at the gym at work.

Gained a couple of pounds on my cruise. Gonna be hard to work them off.

Wednesday Week 4 - 3rd day of Cardio

5 mile run, 8:50 pace, very cold 10 degrees or so out and wind chills around -5

This cardio project has been great, I motivation to get out there and score for the team is strong.

I may propose a "Month of Sloth" after this is done, to balance out the project

"I always loved running...it was something you could do by yourself, and under your own power. You could go in any direction, fast or slow as you wanted, fighting the wind if you felt like it, seeking out new sights just on the strength of your feet and the courage of your lungs." - Jesse Owens

Week #4 (out of 4) at the PC/Aerobic Challenge is officially designated as Quote Week where each participant is asked to post an exercise-related quote along with each of your entries…all week long.   Don’t have a quote?   Look one up!!   Here’s mine for today: “Up to 40 percent of guys with early prostate cancer can opt for ‘active surveillance,’ which monitors the cancer with regular PSAs, prostate exams and biopsies. If trouble arises, treatment starts. We love this approach because it lets you make healthy changes that are proven to keep PSA levels lower even after a cancer diagnosis. The changes:   more fruit and veggies, more workouts , more meditation; no red meat, no added sugars and no syrups.” -MD Anderson/University of Texas School of Public Health website       Week #4, Wednesday Went for a pre-lunch walk around the block at work.     Here's the Week #4 totals, as best I could count.  Please let me know if I have an error; I will review & fix, as appropriate.

Week 4, Day 4, Wednesday 2/20/13 (25 of 25 in a row....)

35 minutes of cardio this morning.

No weights tonight - just got home from a business dinner - no time and to stuffed! ):

Week 4, Wednesday.

A brisk walk -- 2 1/2 laps around the parking lot at work. (about 1.6 miles)

It’s Quote Week !   Each participant is asked to post an exercise-related quote along with each of your entries this week. My quote today comes from the BBC News, and Clairan Devane, chief executive of Macmillan Cancer Support: "Cancer patients would be shocked if they knew just how much of a benefit physical activity could have on their recovery and long term health, in some cases reducing their chances of having to go through the gruelling ordeal of treatment all over again. "It doesn't need to be anything too strenuous, doing the gardening, going for a brisk walk or a swim, all count."     Week #4, Thursday 20 mins aerobic exercise on the Arc Glider, followed by core work on several machines and on the floor.
