Week 21, Day 1
Squat
153/5, 173/4, 203/3, 233/2, 273/1, 283/1, 293/1, 273/5
First few sets felt great, so I decided to bump up the weight a bit. Haven't done 273/5 in a minute, as the kids say. On the third rep, I came off of my heel quite a bit. Managed to sit back better on reps 4 and 5. I will chalk this up to rust.
Ladder
Bodyweight Squat 5 10 15 20 25 20 15 10 5
Situps 5 10 15 20 25 20 15 10 5
Chinups 2 4 6 8 10 8 6 4 2
Pushups 5 10 15 20 25 20 15 10 5
Still killer, but slowly improving.

1.5 mile
I was concerned about how I would do today because I haven't tested this in a week and I had a weekend of a lot of bad eating and drinking.
Happily, I was able to knock off another 5 seconds and do it in 11:31.
Also, I wasn't as spent at the end as I was last week. Strange.
Headed over to the gym to play basketball in a few......

Week 20, Day 2
Incline Press
137/5, 147/4, 162/3, 187/2, 192/1, 202/1, 212/1, 187/8
I forgot if the last set was like the flat bench press, where I was supposed to do 8 reps, or if it was like the other exercises, where I was supposed to do 5 reps. I guessed it was 8 reps, but I was wrong. Oh well. I will do 5 reps next time.
Ladder
Dips 3 6 9 12 15 12 9 6 3
Chinups 2 4 6 8 10 8 6 4 2
Pushups 5 10 15 20 25 20 15 10 5
Leg Raises 3 6 9 12 15 12 9 6 3
* Better than last week, but still pretty brutal.
Conditioning
I played basketball last night for a couple of hours. I won't be able to test my 1.5 miles this weekend because I am going away. I will try to get at least some good walking in, though. On the off chance I can run, I will bring my running shoes and stop watch.

Week 19, Day 2
Bench Press
137/5, 152/4, 167/3, 197/2, 207/1, 227/1, 237/1, 207/2 into 187/6
The last set was supposed to be 8 reps. After the second rep with 207, I knew I would never make 8, so I stripped off 20 pounds and did 6 reps with 187.
Ladder
Dips 3 6 9 12 15 12 9 6 3
Chinups 2 4 6 8 10 8 6 4 2
Pushups 5 10 15 20 25 20 15 10 5
Leg Raises 3 6 9 12 15 12 9 6 3
One word to describe the ladder: BRUTAL.
Two words: UTTERLY BRUTAL.
Conditioning
Basketball last night for 2 hours. I was completely spent afterward- had the light headed feeling for most of the last game that I played.
I'm going to Boston tomorrow for the weekend for my father's 70th birthday. While I am very much looking forward to the trip, I won't be able to train my 300 meters or 1.5 miles until I return.
