[QUOTE="DC, post: 73823"] [b]Monday, 19 June[/b] Ahh, the first official day of hard work.. how good it feels! Today is another warm day, as most summer days are, with the temperature reaching 81*F. So I awoke around 9:30 again, and decided to get some milk and maybe a bottle of water. I know that today I will have a lot to do so I should probably take my time, and enjoy the amount of time i have off for today. So just chillin', listening to my mp3 player, currently playing Ludacris. Something about rap music just gets me a little more pumped for what lays ahead in this off season. Just watch some TV until about 12, then have a quick lunch then, time to train. First off I decided i should get some weights in.
