8 Weeks Countdown Plus Some Friday Random Acts of Fitness

It's pretty much 8 weeks to everything.  Eight Weeks to runDisney Springtime Surprise 10k and eight weeks to The Villages Senior Games Swimming.  I got a lot of training to catch up on.  Ugh.  Yesterday was a NO GYM DAY.  Slept in a bit but not enough.  After work I started to plan my Friday Morning.  Should I do a Leg Day or Chest Day.  Decided I'd do a Chest Day but with a short treadmill run after.  I laid out my clothes and my running trainers.  But when I did wake up I decided that the running wasn't gonna happen.  A dumb mistake.  Ugh!  In 8 weeks I'm running a 10K so I need to get on a training program  I know it's a runDisney and I'll be stopping for character photos but I need to build the endurance so my pace can be decent so I can do more stops and pix!

THE BREAKDOWN:
CHEST PRESS - 
Working my way back up.  On Tuesday Chest was a struggle and then on Wednesday Back was a struggle.  Yesterday's NO GYM DAY seemed to help.  My Mojo Was Coming Back.  
CABLE FLY - Sort of the same thing.  When I go higher in weight it's hard to start and stop the movement.  I'm not a big fan of Cable Fly.
OH PRESS - Was feeling good so tried going up 5 pounds.  It felt like I added a 100 pounds.  PROGRESS
TRICEP PUSHDOWN - Added 2.5 lbs.  PROGESS

THE BOOKSHELF:

My different twist on one of today readers. I want to focus on “instead he was practicing, reminding himself here and there the important lessons…”. I do this daily myself. I write stuff done and repeat things to myself daily. It’s the if you build it they will come method. If I keep repeating things I need to learn or do overtime i will learn or do it.
