I’ve been in the San Diego area for the past week, looking at new jobs and new places to live. Of course, I took the opportunity to not workout in any way whatsoever. No running. No walking. No push-ups. I’m not exactly proud about that. It was a nice week off, but the time off wasn’t good for me. I wasn’t able (mentally, I’m sure) to finish 100 push-ups this morning. I let myself stop at 30 on the first set, then I only did one more set of 30. That’s pretty weak.<\/p>\n
My back has been bothering me ever since the scuba trip to Roat\u00c3\u00a1n. My working theory is that I pulled something while hauling my diving equipment back and forth from the boat one of those days. It was mostly feeling better until this trip, but I had a few times when I almost couldn’t walk at all without ibuprofen. I think I must have re-agitated it when packing up the car for the trip. It’s slowly starting to feel better again now, but I’m still taking it sort of easy to make sure it actually gets better this time.<\/p>\n
I’ve been trying to find some other songs with a similar beat to Sightsee M.C. Today I tried a whole list of songs and found a couple that are pretty close. Mr. Brightside from The Killers is pretty close, but possibly a little slow. Paint It Black from The Rolling Stones is another great option. I’m going to try those 3 again today and see how it goes.<\/p>\n
I set the treadmill for 6.5 and ran the first mile, then bumped it down to 6.2 and ran another mile, but then I just walked the last mile and called it good.<\/p>\n
