This past weeks activities
Posted on June 27th, 2010 in Bike Log, Run Log, Workout Log | 6 Comments »
I got some cycling time in this week due to my bike commutes. It has been a great way to get some extra cardio done. I also got to go out on a couple of short 5k runs too. Although it is still slow going, my knee held up well so I am going to call it a good week for running. I was also able to get my P90X strength workouts done as well.
I am struggling with my nutrition and as a result I am gaining weight, or more importantly body fat. I have to get my lifestyle back to wear it was last year. I can still get decent workouts done, however, I am sure I could perform better carrying less body fat. I don’t need to get down to 8.5% like I was last year, but I would like to get down to 10-12%. Ok, so the food log starts tomorrow.
Today, I took the family to the Pacific Aviation Museum. It is located on Ford Island at Pearl Harbor. The exhibits are located in a renovated hanger just a few hundred yards from the Arizona Memorial. As some of you may know, the Arizona is a battleship that was destroyed by the Japanese Navy during the attack on Pearl Harbor. Many of the crew are still trapped within the ship which lies underwater. Next to the Aviation Museum is a control tower that still has bullet holes from the raid.

That had to be somber going to the museum?
Hey why to get the workouts in and the running. Good to hear the knee is holding up well. Good luck with the food journal – since I started my training program by body fat has been just melting off and that is in only a weeks time!
I’d love to get out to Ford Island and take the tours out there. Have you taken the tour of the USS Bowfin?
Congrats on getting your workouts in. It’s tough to keep a schedule like P90X going without interruption during the summer months. I’m still two weeks away from starting up baseball again and I can tell I’ve been missing most of my HIIT work. I’ve had to watch what I eat since I’m not doing a lot of cardio right now.
Jeff – great job on ridding yourself of the bodyfat! Your training schedule is intense.
Hi Boomer,
Woo hoo for getting your bike rides and those 5K runs in:) It doesn’t matter how fast that you go as long as it feels good to you! I am glad that the knee is feeling better too!
I would love to visit that Museum! I am such a big history geek…so a trip to the museum would be right up my alley:) Thanks for sharing Boomer:) I hope that you have an awesome week!
Jeff… We watched a couple films at the museum. It really made me proud of the “Greatest Generation”. Those guys loved their country. Too bad we are losing those values.
Steve… Yes, I took the family to the Bowfin. We had a great day. I am excited for you about your season starting.
Julie… I am also a history buff. You would have loved the museum.
That museum has to be awesome. My parents made a Hawaii trip in 82. I’m not sure if it was there then or not. You may know. I’ll ask them about it.
I was a high school senior and had my choice–go with them or use that money toward my car. I was stupid and chose the car. Haven’t lived it down yet!!
Hope the knee holds up so you can be functional. Hang in there!
Mark… The museum is sort of new so it wasn’t around in ’82. Btw, I would have chosen the car over the trip too!
