8th Workout Session April 19, 2014

April 19, 2014 My 8th workout session with my mentor. So today is the day to run Lake Merced in Sunset. So I met up with my mentor at the gym to get my blood flowing so I ran on the treadmill for an hour I was just jogging it for awhile. I wasn't doing it in a fast pace or anything. Then I got off of it and my mentor told me to come with him then we went off to go to Lake Merced with him. When we got there it seemed like this big lap is going to take me at least 3 hours. So pretty much the first thing we did was to stretch off to the side and to make sure we won't pull any muscle or anything because if you pull anything in your body that means you didn't stretch out enough. Then after stretching we went off to go run it we were jogging it for a while we had to hold our own water bottles while were running. It was pretty sunny when we were running but then it was getting windy because  it was kind of near the beach (ocean beach). Anyways we were jogging it for at least a good 20 mins then I started to get tired and I kind of stop but then I had to push my self to keep going. We ran a quarter of it then we took a break to get some water. So pretty much we stopped 4 times and we ran it in like 2-3 hours because we ran around it 2 times. If we ran it 1 time it be a waste of time so we just ran it 2 times. It was pretty tiring to run it but it was pretty good I started to get my pace going. So my goal today was to see if I could of ran this lake merced if my workout in the gym help me with anything. My next goal is to see if I could accomplished anything from lifting weights.

7th Workout Session April 18, 2014

April 18, 2014 This was my 7th workout session. My mentor and I was just talking about if I could run the Lake Merced or not and just to tell me to keep my pace and to take my time. To start off everything today we went to stretch only our legs. The usual thing we did was to go on the treadmill for an hour then we went to do some leg press. I lift more weight with my legs then my arms so I put at least 50-60 lbs weights on both side. I was doing that for at least 5-6 reps. The only thing we did with arms was to squat with some weights with a bar on my shoulder and have 15lb on each side to squat with that 20 times. I was doing that for 4 to 5 times. Then I went off to my self and I did the treadmill for the next 20-30 mins or so on my own and ran it in a fast pace without stopping or anything. My goal was for today to see if I am ready for tomrorow or not and to see if I accomplish anything from yesterday. Then my goal for tommorrow is to see if I could keep pace on Lake merced it is at least 4.5 miles to run it.

Wednesday April 16, 2014. Today this was my 5th workout session with my mentor. My mentor did something different with me today like the first thing we did today instead of on the treadmill we went to go do some bench presses. We went on that for at least 15-20 mins. Then we went on the cycle trainer that looks like your riding on a bike but you dont really have to balance on it. We were riding that for 30 mins. Then we went to go off to the side and did some wall sits for 30 seconds. We did that 3 times in a row. The next thing we did was some push ups and sit ups. He brought me to where all the weights are again and he put me on 45 pound weight to lift for 10-15 times and we did that for 3 reps. After those weight he wanted to see if I could do any pull ups well when we went to go see how many I could do I did at least 2-3 and I didn't even brought my head all the way up. Then to finish everything off we went to the treadmills we ran on it in a fast pace to finish strong. Today my goals were to not give up and to see if I accomplish anything from yesterday. My goal for tommorow is to keep competiting until I could run that whole entire lake merced without stopping.

4th Workout Session April 15, 2014

Tuesday April 15, 2014. This was my 4th workout session with my mentor. I went to the gym around 6:30pm today. I went off to stretch off without him so we could already workout when he gets here. So it took me 5-10 mins to stretch then my mentor came in and already seeing me stretch out without him. Right when he got here he took me to the treadmills like always and we went on there for an hour. So the first 15 mins on it we just jogged on it for a little bit then after that we push the incline(this is like moving the treadmill up wards like your walking on a hill)  to 1.5 and it pretty hard to jog like that. We did that for at least another 30 mins then we put the incline back to 0. The next 15 mins we were running on it with a fast pace. So after the treadmills we took a 5 min break to catch our breaths. Then after our break we went to the part of where the weights are. We went to do some bench press where you lay on ur back and have a bar over ur head and have weights on each side. We did that for at least 5 reps at a time. So it took us at least 15 mins. Then after that to finish it off we did our push up, sit ups, and bicycles. My goals was for today was to see if i accompish anything from yesterday then my next goal is to see if I could run the whole entire lake merced in San Francisco it is about 4.5 miles.
