Back to the Grind!

Dear Family,
  School is starting next month, which, for means ROTC and health guidelines and stuff.  So, starting tomorrow I'll be hitting the gym up again.  I'm not sure what each of your own health goals are for the summer or year, but, if you keep puttin' it off, it will always be that...not reachable.  Unfortunately, I am reaping the rewards of that by not keeping in shape throughout the summer so now I have to go back to insane-o working out for the next month or so.
  So...I figure by posting that I am going to go all crazy again, I may as well let you know what the heck I'm doing....

                             - Ab/Push up Circuit ( Medicine Ball Circles (6 lb. ball) 10 circles clockwise, than reverse
                                                                15 Sit ups with ball on chest, 15 fireman drill (sit up position but
                                                                have upper body at 45 degree angle) 1 rep is touch to the left than
                                                                the right, than 15 push ups.  Rest about 20 seconds, repeat 4 times

                             - Run 20 - 25 min.

                                                                have upper body at 45 degree angle) 1 rep is touch to the left than
