I have finished training for triathlons a little while ago (about 6 weeks ago) and I have gone back to my “basic” lifting training and I have added more running.

I want to be running at least 7.5 miles in 1 hour (at least) by December 20, 08 so I have some time to continue to work on it.

I have been lifting one day, running the next (up to 5 miles) and then lifting again, rest and repeat - or something similar to that. I am using my 5X5 modified lifting program adding some heavy arm workout to add size to my arms and also adding my ABS workout.

Now, I also should be working on my diet or better yet, I should be working on “cleaning up my diet” because I have been eating a lot of junk, including sweets and saturaded fats - I have not been eating as much as I used to before I started working out early in 2005 but but much more that what I had been eating since I “cleaned my diet”.

Excess of sweets, carbs and saturated fats SLOW DOWN your metabolism - I have tested it and I know… so stay away from that stuff - I mean it!

I’ll try to continue to add more information in regards to my workouts in the next few weeks.

Keep on training!
