Wow, this summer is just flying by! I can't believe my classes start back up in less than a month. Until then, I'm taking full advantage of what little spare time I do have putting in some good work outs. Monday was a cardio day. Tuesday was back & biceps day (my personal fav). I start out with a light weight and work my way up until failure. On Wednesday, I was going to run, but mother nature put a stop to that with quite a thunderstorm. So instead, I worked out my legs. It seems like every time I do legs, I always feel it the next day. Well, I'm definitely feeling them today! I ran pretty far this morning. I ran over to Jordan Valley Park, Hammonds Field, and all over the MSU campus. I like getting out at around 5am. It's so peaceful and the city looks so beautiful at that time of morning. Running gives you a different perspective that you will never see driving. Plus the endorphins are great!

I really love the way my abs are looking now. Since I've upped my cardio, I can definitely tell a difference. During the winter, I usually do less cardio to concentrate more on building up muscle mass. This usually means I gain a few pounds too in the process, but since I'm usually covered up in warm clothes, it never shows. However, it being summer now, I want to be as lean as possible. I like to show off my hard work. The stares are priceless!

I'm off to Tulsa to watch my big bro get married! You guys have a great weekend. Lift heavy. Train hard. Talk to you soon.
