Went to the gym today. Judging by my gym notebook, I hadn't been there in 3 months. Good lord.

Warmup: 1.5 miles @ 8:30/mile (7.0mph) --- this surpasses every warmup I did before April and is faster than every workout I did before April. It felt awesome. Now I have confidence that I have been improving just by going to track workouts and practices! Sweet!

Lifting (weird order because of other people on machines):

Lats: 90x15; 100x12; 110x10
Calf Raises: 50x20; 90x15; 110x15
Adductors: 50x12; 65x10; 75x10
Chest Press: 60x15; 70x12; 80x10
Abductors: 50x12; 65x10; 80x8
Squats: 155x12; 165x10; 175x8; 185x8
Abs: 7.5 minutes cross country abs
Rotary torso: 70x12
Hamstrings: 90x12; 100x10; 110x8


All of these weights are at or above where I left off 3 months ago. Lats, Calf Raises, Chest Press, Adductors, and Abductors were eeeeeasy. I felt awesome. Squats and Hamstrings were HARD! Holy crap! I now understand why track workouts have been so difficult -- my legs haven't been getting any stronger by NOT going to the gym, probably because I'm not spending all that much time actually full-out sprinting or using them to full capacity. Crap. Never underestimate how awesome the weight room can be.
