So, basically I hate running. Tina LOVES it for some ungodly reason. We ran the half marathon last august and I went down in miles and Tina went up in miles! She is amazing… 26.2 miles! Here are some pics of the Shamrock weekend. It was great and I wouldn’t miss it for the world.

I rollerbladed all day Sunday chasing Tina around. Me and Sophie had a great time trying to find her. I am so proud of Tina as 26.2 miles is just amazing.

post Lifting… on my way to 400lbs max bench

Well I have been lifting off and on since I was 14. Yeah yeah I don’t look like it… well maybe there have been more off’s then on’s.

I find it very hard to keep with it. Normally every year I would lift for 5-6 months then stop for 4 months then start up again only to find out that I have to start right back where I began. It is very disheartening.  That’s why I decided to actually have a goal this time.

My new years resolution (yeah yeah) is to be able to bench press a max of 400lbs. My goal is to be able to do 315lbs 9 reps. According to this max bench chart my max would be 400lbs.

I really don’t believe in going into a gym and putting up weight for 1 rep so I like to go by this chart. I have yet to max out currently but I would imagine my max judging by that chart is 311lbs by doing 245 9 times. Probably within the next week or 2 I will confirm that.

Wish me luck…
