When I Started:
Sep, 2005
How I Started:
After reading "The Art of Expressing the Human Body" by Bruce Lee, I began my weight training in 2005. Throughout Jr. and Sr. High School I ran track as a sprinter and only used weights at the beginning of the season for assessment. I have always been active some times having so much restless energy that I often don't know how to exert it lol.
Why I Love It:
The sweat, the pain and soreness, and even better, the results from a routine and the progress towards another!!! It not only makes me feel good about myself but, it also reflects my outlook and appreciation for life in general.
How I Stay Motivated:
I train for my life and with that everything that comes along with it. Seeing the results are great but, the feeling of getting stronger, faster, more endurance and stamina gets me going!
BB Accomplishments:
April 5, 2009 OEF SOF 5K/Marathon Relay: 8th overall out of 50 + participants/1st place for Navy representation. Time-unavailable Sept. 4, 2008 Surface Line 5K Run: 7th place overall out of 150+ participants/3rd overall in command USS Mustin. Time: 18:54 mins.

Time: 20:08 mins July 12, 2008: 1st Place for the 1st Ever 5-man team Adventure Race at Yokosuka Naval Base July 4, 2008: 1st ever 5k run: Firecracker 5k Fourth of July Run 8th Place overall. Time: 21:00, could've did it faster but it was a great run! May 2008: 2nd Place in Command Physical Fitness Challenge "Hardcore" category. Most Push ups(nonstop): 75 fully extended/chest to the floor Most Pull ups(fully extended):20

Had my run today and the weather and conditions were great. A little over 14 miles and I was able to finish in a little over 2:04. Would have been nice to get under 2 but I have no complaints. Nothing like running in NYC. Ok your up next, you ready for your run?

What's up Jamaal? Some serious progress your making, good job! Quick update, I've been feeling pretty good so I signed up for a 14.2 mile run in Sept. I've got a few weeks to add about 6 miles to my long run. After that I'm gonna take the vest out again. Take it slow this time though. Keep up with your training. Gary

I'm getting closer but not quite all the way back yet. I've been jogging but at a slower pace because the longer the stride I can feel the pain. I've been able to lift but just no abs and they need the most work. lol Continued success for your training!

I think I went up in weight too fast. I pulled a muscle about 2 months ago running hills and I haven't used it since. I reaggravated it last night playing softball. Hopefully it will heal quickly and I'll be back out there. Good luck getting your speed back up.
