I used the old-school X-Trainer today. I set it to keep my hear rate at 125 and then bumped that up to 130. I got a pretty good workout. Sadly, though, I think my iPod is dead. It was on when I unplugged it from the charger this morning but when I got to the gym it was dead. I hope this isn't permanent. I got an Isopure protein drink thing after the workout. I think that helped the other day with getting worn out in the afternoon. When I grabbed that I saw that they had restocked the yummy blue raspberry Grenade's. So I grabbed one of them as well in case I need it this afternoon.

I think I have decided on new fitness goals for next year. My goals at this point are to run a consistent 8 minute mile and to bench press my weight. I think that both of those are acheivable in a twelve month period. I think that I am going to consider these goals to be in place starting 1/1/06 and the dead line of 12/31/06. Maybe if I reach that goal I can get a new iPod.
