Hi Tony,

I'm trying to put as much mass on as I can before I end the bulk at the end of the month. My ultimate goal is to put on a decent amount of muscle. After the bulk, I will be more focused on the marathon, but then after that I will go back to adding muscle.

I am following a plan set up for my by Derwyddon at awentraining.com.

Weight 8AM - 216

Ran 7 miles on the treadmill; 58:23. Took it easy due to my cold and just got my milage in.

I'm heading out of town now for the weekend and will be returning on Monday. I will have access to a treadmill. I may or may not have access to internet.
 
Thanks Derwyddon. :)

Treadmills at the resort were on a 20 min timer. No one was waiting for one, so I just restarted both days to finish up the run. Fitness rooms at the resort were in a small room with no ventilation.

Hey NBS,

All I really have to go off of is weight and visual. I will be done with my bulk on Monday and starting to cut. I will post some pics within the next week to show progress. I started at 198.8 and was at 216 last weekend, so was at about 17 lbs gained in 14 weeks. I'm feeling really good about the progress. I have gained some fat, but not a lot, so it should be mostly muscle. I think a lot of it was gained in my legs though, which I didn't take starting pics for. My back and legs had been neglected until recently.

Thanks for asking,

Hey Drex, just saw your journal for the first time today.

Your transformation is inspirational for me, since I'm also in the computer field.

Keep up the great work ! I hope my progress is as good as yours !
