    Tonight is Tuesday which means our normally scheduled BCRT Club run.  I did a VERY slow two miles just to keep things moving along.  Felt great!  The weather however was not great…yucky misty rain….

    Slow run for the 1st mile then ran with a member’s son and walked with her family for a bit.

  • Evening Work Out

    Well Since I was behind in my Pull-Up and Push-Up program I figured I would Catch up.

    I started with pull-ups (these were done at home on my doorway pull-up bar.)
    Level 4: Week2: Day2
    08 Pull-Ups (Check) – 90 Sec Rest
    09 Chin-Ups (Check) – 90 Sec Rest
    08 Pull-Ups (FAIL) – 3Min Rest
    07 Chin-Ups (Check) – 3Min Rest
    05 Pull-Ups (Check)
    Notes: After 3Min of rest the pull-ups were manageable and the Chin-ups were a breeze.  Need 90Sec for Chin-Ups and 3Min for Pull-Ups

     

     

    Push-Ups (Today’s seemed to be really easy, even though the massive chest, arms and back workouts we did the past couple of days)
    Since my wrist hurts I did these on my Chin-Up bar flipped upside down.  Basically Push-Up Stands

    09 (Check) 90Sec Rest
    11 (Check) 90Sec Rest
    08 (Check) 90Sec Rest
    08 (Check) 90Sec Rest
    30 – MAX (I was pretty much toast after these)

  • Ice Day

    admin

    Ugh, being snowed in is one thing , but being Iced in is something TOTALLY different.  With Snow atleast you can get the kids out of the house and build snowmen, have snowball fights, make snow-angels and all sorts of other stuff. With ice, the only activitied you get is to try and find something to entertain them while not being able to go anywhere.  which leads me to my next topic.

    Since I was iced in I decided that I would pop one of my ole Insanity Disks in a burn through a work-out.  I mean how hard could it be, I have taken about 5 months off but have kept in pretty good shape……haven’t I? I have been running frequently and have been partaking in my strength training at the Gym regularly, I should be able to cruise through this work-out……..right?

    YA RIGHT !!

    Plyometrics Core Cardio was the work-out I chose.  After completing the, so called, warm-up I remembered how hard this was.  So to save any further embarrassment, let me just say I did not even come close to completing the entire work out !  Holy Smokes !!
    Warm-Up: All 3 sets – Hard, but okay
    Circuit 1: Set 1 Good, Set 2 Okay, Set 3 ROUGH
    Circuit 2: Set 1 ROUGH, Set 2 & Set 3 – Watched the DVD through most of this.

    Wow, I am out of Insane shape. Time to get back into the Grove and keep pressing play
