Started feeling like a struggle, got to end point of 2nd of 3 repeated sections and knew that was my limit for the day. Got back to find the run was below my minimum acceptable pace by 2 seconds a mile and didn't figure why.
Following day woke up and felt the rest of a cold coming in. I really hate the reduced immunity from my epilepsy meds. No training for me for a couple of days. Not happy.

ENTP Me
There are various little tests we are given in workplaces etc. that are interesting to do and show how well we know ourselves and occasionally surprise us with the results.
Last year my workplace decided to try Myers Briggs testing and I came out as ENTP, which when filtering through the delicate language distills down as arrogant, argumentative know it all with no consideration for the feelings of others. My reaction was to think 'Like I didn't already know that and like I would care.' I think it may have been right.
There are various reasons why I was actually pleased with this, some of them are the pictures I saw when googling ENTP. There were pictures of the fictional character I most resemble, the Joker from Batman, with captions like 'I'm not crazy, I'm not' others with just text saying 'ENTP I'm not crazy, I'm just smarter than you' or 'ENTP I'm awesome, you're not' etc. You get the idea, we're the shy, retiring, modest type.
So with so much charm, is there anything wrong with being ENTP? And what does it take to get the most out of one?
Well the answer to the first is pretty easy. We seem to scare the living excrement out of a number of people, tending not to concern ourselves with the prospect that not everyone will want to be spoken to and many are happy being in their shell. As my son has picked up on saying occasionally modesty is for the imperfect, maybe it's not a good idea for me to teach him charm and confidence.
In terms of how to get the best out of us I would say my wife does well, largely because of her ISTJ, take no nonsense attitude. Many of the images for hers were quite dull or along the lines of 'ballbreaker' which she can be if riled but often isn't, the far more appropriate was the image of a woman and caption saying 'Excuse me sir, you seem to have a problem, what with your brain being missing' which covered it perfectly. Most of us don't suffer fools gladly but she takes the award for making it very clear to anyone who can count above their IQ that they are being tolerated against her better judgement. It can be very amusing to see people who have considered her patient with them and her face very much expressing that they were too stupid to even notice how much she had to dumb down to them.
There is of course a history to why I like being ENTP and why I am more than happy to see my son is so confident he will joke about being perfect in a manner that shows confidence rather than nervous avoidance of issues. When you have been brought up and nurture at home and school in a manner that makes you feel you are of little value then gradually build up confidence to the level where it often spills into arrogance, you find yourself being very proud to be considered occasionally arrogant and sometimes confused when others don't.
We all need to be made aware how special we aren't occasionally to keep our feet at least close to the ground but I am far happier with over spilling confidence than as the person who either wanted to die for some years.

Running 20-Nov-2015
Same as on a previous week. Pace setter with a head start, 5 minutes this time, after he blitzed me with a 6:40 head start by finishing a minute and a half ahead of me. 5 minutes should have made it close, I put in one of my better times on this route, and to ensure I didn't feel too special he put in another PB improving on his previous best by 1:40 and finishing a minute ahead of me. Well done to him obviously, next time he gets 4 minute and we see who dies first.
I'm still 10 seconds a mile off target pace but I'll take that today. Just to make it more fun we had nice cool temperatures, which was ideal, rain, which was fine and hail which was less than pleasant.

It Was The Beer, No Scrap That It's My Genes. Yeah Right!
This is a response to some new research I read a small article about. First part is below.
People who behave recklessly when drunk could now put the blame on their genetic inheritance, as new research from Finland has found that some people are born more likely to embarrass themselves than others.
The study could help explain students who wear traffic cones as hats, says the Daily Mail, but the findings will have serious results too, and could even lead to the development of new drugs.
Of course there is a really simple way to avoid this gene being an issue. Don't drink!
I go well beyond reckless and straight into uncontrollably violent moron who hits anyone in reach. Because I know this is in my nature I haven't consumed alcohol in nearly 25 years.
It's not the beer, wine etc. it's the person consuming it. I get bored of the excuses. Alcohol is not compulsory in life and those trying to make you think otherwise are not your friends.
When I gave up alcohol the way I managed to stay clear of it was by making my social circles the people taking recreational cocaine. When I went out saying I don't drink my 'friends' would spend the evening trying to convince me otherwise or even spiking my drinks. Much against the drug pusher image, when I said no to a line the refusal was always accepted and it soon just became known and I was rarely even offered.
I am a rarity in the world today by being a total straight head, no alcohol, tobacco or other drugs, not even tea or coffee, I am that dull. When I saw what alcohol did to me I was too scared to try other stuff and as a boring middle aged/ old man I have enough confidence/ arrogance not to need them.
Make your choices, accept the consequences.
Maybe it's just my ENTP personality (I'll cover that in another post, ENTP basically means I'm awesome, you're not) but I found it was those needing the substances that turned out be boring. Under the influence they could party hard, but before these kicked in they were the ultimate nervous wallflowers too scared to do anything without a drink, toke, snort etc. So while they were busy propping up the walls, bars etc waiting to feel the effects of the artificial courage I was up dancing or generally making a fool of myself, with the added bonus that I had all my faculties about me so could do so with full coordination and speed of wit enough to leave the uninitiated wondering how the, then young, guy had managed to blow their wealth of experience out of the water.

Bench 18-Nov-2015
Improvements in a few areas. Reminder that push downs need very little weight to make them harder, especially when they are 2nd movement in supersets and broke my no sets less than 6 reps until February 2016 rule, but hey I was dead by then.
Increased height of feet on push ups with clap, by force of will I managed to get all but 3 (all in last set) with hands leaving the ground. I have done these numerous times but it is still very freaky doing something where you take off and start swinging so aren't fully sure where your hands will land, focuses the mind somewhat. Shifted weight on flyes to make a bit more intense too.

Did 10 lots of this timing anyway.

Not a great run. Very tired and judging by the way I have slightly strained my achilles tendon I would say coordination suffered a bit. Not enough for me to do something as drastic as stopping running or considering not doing squats this evening, but enough to annoy me and be part of a slow run. Not a happy bunny.

Knowing my pace setter is slower than I am on the current route by between 6:30 and 7 minutes I gave him a 6:45 head start. I didn't do too badly, not on target but better than last few, while he score a route PB so finished around a minute or so ahead of me. That's the the whole point of having someone running with you as a pace setter they make you work harder and still beat you when you didn't have enough.
I am happy with this. End of a full week of training and I was able to get in an acceptable run. Target is a bit much to expect with so much focus on rowing so this is not bad.

Deadlift 12-Nov-2015
After a good session of rowing at lunch I decided to dispense with the rules on this session. the idea was to only go up weights when I got 10 solid reps, but I dispensed with that on stiff legs and with that going so well decided to risk it on the next 2 movements as well, in fairness not a bad result and pleased with myself.
Chins had pauses in the set from the first, my system of fatigue myself to make bodweight training hard worked a treat. Planning to up the stiff leg again next time too, that will be fun.
Also realised I added the weight of the olympic bar into last weeks seated row. 15kg each end would have been 50, but it wasn't. I do like the way the hi-low pulley on my rack makes the weight feel heavy while still being smooth.
I can definitely recommend being unrealistic at times and am enjoying the aches from that now. See how my run goes at lunch, I want a better one than my last 2.

2nd time in a row where I have hit my target of 50 rows a minute for 50 minutes. Happy with that. Not really got more time to draw it out so will keep going at this until after Christmas then see if I can throw in some intervals etc. to mix it up a bit.
Today's lesson was don't countdown reps on cardio training. When doing weights it can be good to be thinking just 2 more on the 8th rep of a set of 10. However 20% through today I was thinking 10 minutes left, which is fine, then I did the simple multiplication to realise that meant 500 rows left, it didn't feel as good anymore. Training is so much about mental state it is very key to train your mind to think things that will help you through not make you doubt success. Obviously I made it but it was a bit weird.

Bench 11-Nov-2015
Well this session is heavy on the arms and they failed spectacularly during this session.
3rd set of incline bench stopped at 6 because my tris said there wouldn't be a 7th. Push ups with hands leaving the floor except that for 1 rep in set 2 and 3 or 4 in set 3 when they didn't.
In fairness I did increase reps or weight and intensity on every movement. On flyes that simply meant being closer to the floor to put more of my bodyweight through.

Rowing 10-Nov-2015
With me noticing the improvement on rowing is costing me pace on running I was determined to make this an on target row, even though my target was mentally scheduled for the end of this month.
Result, my body telling me that I was being very stupid for the last 10 to 15 minutes, but a certain level of pride for being unrealistic and achieving anyway. See how happy I feel about it tomorrow.
50 minute of rowing at 50 rows a minute in the style needed, legs stiff, all torso and alternating side on water rower. Actually very happy with how the rhythm was too, really consistent throughout virtually all of it, even when shattered.
Oh yes. One does not simply get up and walk away from a rowing PB like this.

Improving again as I would expect 2nd week into a block. Squats are up a rep per set, goblets had no rest during set so up to 28kg next week.
Pistols are getting tidier as I am getting used to them. Legs were wobbly standing but I still got them in. Added more height to the block I do calf raises from, feeling the effect of that today.

Not best pleased with this. Have plenty of reasons to be this slow including wind battering me out there, but when it comes down to it I gave everything and am unhappy with how little there was.
Hoping that being back to running twice a week will help and know the rowing is improving so there is a bit of trade off going on. At the end of the day if I was the sort of person who was happy to see a trend toward poorer performances I wouldn't be who I am, so this comes under must try harder.

Quite weird writing this up on a Monday when it happened on the Friday and I am still aching from it. Hoping I stop aching in time to row tomorrow.
Still supersets. Realising that unfamiliarity makes things a lot harder, only the second block where I have used fatties on stiff legs and the straight line rope grip left my forearms aching in the way only unfamiliar movements can.

Have deadlifts today and my back is aching top to bottom from rowing, this will be interesting.

Some swine came along and stole half hour of my lunch time so I decided to go flat out for the 20 minutes I had to row in. Pace was over 50 and possibly close to 60 with the stiff leg alternate side style I am using to prepare. Now shattered, pretty sure I would not have been able to keep that up much longer.
Squats 04-Nov-2015
1 session out of schedule, today should have been bench, but I am getting the session in so won't whinge too much.
Week off last week due to being ill and changeover week. A smart person may have come in a bit mellow, I didn't. This was yesterday evening and the aching hasn't really started yet, that spells DOMS and it's not going to be pleasant.
Supersetting and working to ensure the adding pistol squats to my exercises in the done and mastered list during the year is definitely achieved I have them in. Being me I always put coordination exercises at the end of my training when my body is already wrecked. They were interesting but considering they were my target for this year, I had never done them before this year and I only put them in 1 other block I am happy enough not to have fallen once.
First superset had matching weights throughout but that doesn't tell the full story, 2nd set I needed to pause before each final rep, 3rd I had to pause before final 2 on both and felt like I couldn't get enough air to recover at the end.

Squat session time slot disappeared yesterday. I have it approved to move that to a different day so it will happen, it just hasn't yet.
Rowing was hard going throughout, as it should be of course. Current target is to get up to 50 minutes at 50+ strokes a minute. Last time I felt dead at the end of 30 minutes and kept going a little longer. This time I managed 40 minutes and am quietly happy with that. See how I do on Thursday.

2 weeks since last run. Only running once this week too for reasons I hate far less than being ill.
I am actually back to full health, if far from full speed. Officially the slowest run on this route, even with time off for illness and the foggy weather I am far from impressed with this.
I could have tried being sensible (apologies for the profanity) by trying a shorter run, or trying to take it easier. I didn't I went full distance and gave what I had, I just didn't have enough.
No weights last week either due to illness and that should have been changeover week, so coming into a changeover after a break. Tomorrow will involve a lot of walking like I have soiled myself.

No weights last week either due to illness and that should have been changeover week, so coming into a changeover after a break. Tomorrow will involve a lot of walking like I have soiled myself.
7.35 miles in 58:08 speed 7.6mph pace 7:54 min mile
