Weekend

Let's just see here: Um, friday i did chest/triceps. This workout gets bumped a lot for other workouts, so it seems like every time i get in to do it, it's like starting over again. Kept it pretty skeletal (again).

Incline DB bench:
10 x 60s
3 x 8 x 70s

Dips:
3 x 10 x bw

Some shaping and sculpting of my manly thorax on the pec-deck.

Saturday (yesterday) i did a hard hour ride with power intervals in. Warmed up for 20mins, then did 6 x 20sec intervals as hard as i could go in the biggest gear i could push on a two min interval. Got my HR into the high 170s for 'em, which is pretty hard to do in 20secs. i hadn't done a bike interval in probably...yeah, probably before i got married. Felt pretty darn good, and 20secs is a tiny amount of time, even fairly out of shape. They're very, extremely hard to do in this town--very few spots where one can ride in a line for 2+mins without hitting a stop light, and absolutely no flat bits. So i fudged a bit on some of my rest periods, but i got it all in. Good workout.

Then last night i got in a 30min run. Pretty day for it; pretty night for it.

Today calls for a swim and an hour run. i traditionally have been doing back/abs on sundays, but these workouts do not gel well. The swim drains me for the lat workout, and i swim like a grandma if i do lats first. we'll see which wins out today. i've got this week off from school, so i should have time to get it all in. Guess i'll log back in when i've done something physical.

-------------------------------------------------

All righty. Got the swim in. 300wu/ 1000straight/ 300cd. Ok swim. Chest was definitely a bit tight from the workout friday.

And there's the run. Felt a bit sluggish for the first 15mins, but then i got me runnin' legs under me, and it went well enough. Couldn't seem to get my HR much above 150, but i still carved a couple o' minutes off time. i guess that's the benefit of running in the dark when it's chilly.
