Headed in to week three of the bodybuilding comeback. Going strong, standing almost at 230lbs with five meals daily. Bigger and stronger is the name of the game!

Check out the new gym. The Keiser pneumatic machines are killer, and provide a totally different workout experience using air resistance—versus— your standard weights.

Oh, if you’re wondering why there’s no one there, it’s because I work out at 1 AM and I have a whole gym to myself.😁

Remindeds me of the old newbie question. Q: What is the best time of day to work out? A: Any time that you will do it.

Went for a warm run (got to 80ºF yesterday) in Cumberland. Nice to get out of the city center for a change.

Looks like you have really niece running trails, glad you could take advantage of them with the nicer temperatures.

Ran 8 miles yesterday and here is an early morning vaccine line at Mercedes Benz stadium and I wished I was in it. Got home and GA had just opened up preregistration to my age group and I preregistered. So looks like I will be in it in a few weeks or less.

And then did a little back alley running. Oddly for a large city Atlanta doesn't have that many alleys. I lived in Savannah (a tiny fraction of the size) and it probably has more back alleys that Atlanta.

Received the Pfizer vacs. some time back, no issues other than minor delt. soreness & interesting on the lack of ATL alleys.

Did a good core workout at our building's gym and then a nice 9 mile run on the east side.

John Lewis Freedom Park

Around the Carter Center.

Week 4 already in progress.

The owner just got this ‘hill escalator’ in, I haven’t tried it. But it’s rather unique, basically you set the restriction of what you want for the climb and then it’s a fairly good leg work out from how it looks. Probably a good way to spike the heart rate pretty quick.

Bottom of one of the steep hills on the Terrace Trail at the Battelle Darby Creek Park in Columbus Ohio. I love this 2 mile trail - lots of hills and inclines make for a great exercise. First time out here since late 2019.

Excellent machine made by Arsenal. It’s a chest fly machine, where you load the plates on the back, but it’s a far safer method using this -versus- dumbbell extension flies on a standard bench. Essentially it keeps you from overextending, because the handles on a vary on an angle where they only allow you to extend so far. This is the last exercise I use at the end of my chest workouts, and I don’t even load plates, I just push the chest to exhaustion.

Beautiful (55ºF/cloudless) morning and got in a short 6 miler.


iPhone ad (didn't notice until I got home) and Flatiron building in center. Built in 1887 and 5 years older than the Flatiron building in NY. It is the oldest "skyscraper" in Atlanta.

Here is a closer up. Sorry for the Streetcar power lines.

Speaking of Streetcars. Here is 2 in one pic.

Coming home. Microsoft signage is up.

 

[Agile55]

Who knew ATL had a Flatiron & older than NYCs, well there ya go.

Lovely weather in Atlanta - here we have been hit with an Arctic blast

Snow storms and freezing temperature today again

Got to take shelter

Beautiful day but still very cold

Taken this weekend at the Battelle Darby Creek Park in Columbus, OH. Many of the trails look like this, this picture is from the Terrace Trail.

Time for a little Stair Climber.

 

[Captain Trips]

Since I last went out to the Battelle Darby Creek Park to run, they have created / paved the last part of the Camp Chase Trail. You used to have to go through the parking lot and access road, but now you can stay on the trail. The next time we get rain during the week I will try this out (my preferred hilly trail gets a lot of deep puddles after a good rain).

Got my 2ed vaccine on Wednesday (0 side effects) and ran 9 miles Thursday (Earth Day).


Earth Day sunrise.

Heading out for run and caught Sun peeking from behind The Atlantic (building across the street from mine)

Cueing for vaccene.

Looking towards downtown on a beautiful cloudless Earth Day.

I got my second Moderna Covid vaccine shot this morning and was able to get in a 10 mile run on my favorite hilly trail this afternoon.

Looking up at the hill I run up when I am going clockwise around the the loop:

Off to the side is a little creek. During the warmer months it is dry, but we have had rain and snow recently and there is actually water and so I took a picture:

Snowed here on Wednesday but weather was beautiful today, no signs left of the snow. D15km today around neighbourhood and a trail.

 

[44267547]

Good morning. Now, lets get it.

From yesterday, was cold and windy but was still able to close my April challenge.

They had a crime scene taped off around a dumpster, but otherwise park was open:
