Howdy! My name is Drew, and welcome to my blog! I'm a young man living in Chicago, who is about to begin triathlon training. In order to keep myself physically and nutritionally on task, as well as hopefully on budget for food, I've decided to create this blog, where I'll track my training, as well as my diet, while posting recipes that I use along the way!
Feel free to start following me, or to subscribe to my RSS Feed!
Oh yeah. And if you've got any questions you want to have answered, just go ahead and ask.
Went to the gym today.
Swam 2 laps as warm up, did… 4 (maybe 3? I forgot) laps freestyle, and then a 2 lap cool down.
Showered, ran/jogged 25 minutes.
Light ab work, and then bench press and some leg work. Sorry this updates a little sparse. I gotta be up early tomorrow. Monday starts the once weekly but more inclusive exercise updates.
So today was just supposed to be a biking day, but I said screw it, then just went ahead and swam as well.
I swam for about 10 minutes I’d say. I woulda gone a little longer, but I got out of the pool to pee, and it was packed when I got back, so I didn’t wanna wait around.
Afterwards I biked for just over two miles. Did some light ab work, some pull ups, and dips.
Had some leftover Onion Rings that had been sitting in the fridge for a little bit, and the other half of the protein bar when I got home.
Going out for martinis with Brad at around 6:30 or 7. We’ll see how that goes, haha.
I think, starting on Monday of next week, I’m going to just write down all of my exercise information for the week in a notebook, and then post it on Sunday night, or something like that.
I went to the gym. On the way, I stopped off and got a falafel sandwich, which was falafel, tomato, aioli, and lettuce in a pita. It came with some chips that I didn’t eat.
At the gym, I swam for about 15-20 minutes, showered, ran for 25 minutes, (burned about 310 calories— did around 2.3 miles), then hit a couple of the machines. I did the rowing machine for 5 minutes, used some funky ab machine they’ve got at the gym, and did some bench press. 60 lbs at 15 reps, 40 lbs at 15 reps. And then I left to meat some friends for lunch.
We hit up Hopleaf, a pub on the north side. I got the CB&J, which is Cashew Butter, Fig Jelly (I think Fig?), Gruyere cheese, on some amazing white bread, grilled to perfection, with a side of chips and some fantastic homemade mac and cheese.
(Picture from Yelp since I didn’t bring my camera with me)
We hung out and talked until roughly 8, then I went down to the loop to see one of them off on the train. It was almost 9 at this point, so I grabbed 2 slices of pizza from Sbarro, and went home.
Drank a Beer (Summit Brewing Co. Extra Pale Ale —It was actually quite delicious), and watched TV until I went to bed.
Sorry this post is a little off. I didn’t get home until late, and wound up updating by text message last night, and fleshing it out around ten the next morning.
Later folks!
