Charting It Out

I think I finally figured out a super easy way to keep track of all my running, weights and exercise routines.  I made spreadsheets and put them on my phone, something I always have with me, so I can just fill out as I work out.  I know no one has ever thought of doing this before and I am a genius.  No more trying to remember how many miles I ran on the treadmill 5 days ago or keeping track of what weight I am lifting on scraps of paper I lose before my next workout.

The next two charts are what I've decided on as my two strength routines for the time being.  I decided on the two groups of exercises to line up with my goal of doing pull ups and perfecting my backside.  I am currently on week 2 of this routine.  I am aiming to do strength workouts 2-3 times a week going back and forth between each workout.  Last week I had the half marathon on Saturday so I only did it twice, this week doing it 3 times.  I will probably keep this up for at least another 4 weeks before I reevaluate and switch things up.

On the charts the 1st number is times done and the 2nd number is weight.  The * symbol means the weight is on each side not total.
