Week 3 Day 4

Same as Burmy today. Hitting my old friend the elliptical. I agree with John, something pissed off the elliptical today as it was totally kicking our butts. Random setting but thought it would be entertaining to watch us drive though a resistence level of 20. To put it in propective it was like someone throwing you in a pit of wet concrete waste deep and telling you to run for your life. May as well put a bullet in my head. To top it off of couse, it makes you hit it one more time just before your time was up. Forget the towel, next time I bringing a bat. All in all it was a great work out. Knocked off the end of the work out with 2 sets of push ups, setup, and dips. Increased thes reps to 20 on each. You know nothing big, just pounding out the work out. I am throwing this our there, I am on vacation tomorrow so I will not be able to work out with the guys BUT I WILL BE WORKING OUT. I will provide the update tomorow.
