Wednesday
Yesterday morning started out with a great workout. It was a legs and ab burner that kicked my ass!
Legs:
- single-arm power cleans with DB (20# 8 reps, 25# 10 and 8 reps) + walking lunges (3 sets)
- erected shoulder box squats (15# 3 sets of 10) + lateral up & over the box (3 sets for time)
- leg press (2 sets of 12 230# and 250#) + turkish get-ups (2 sets, 5 each arm 15#)
Abs:
- partner situps with medicine ball (20#) + 20 toe-touches + boat pose (3 sets each: 30 secs, 45 secs, 1 minute)
- bent leg sit-up & twist (2 sets – 10 each side and 20 each side)
After all this I was super sweaty and my abs were crying! Like I could barely straighten out my body to stand up!
I wasn’t really ready to start my work day after that, but what are you gonna do?! I spent the day getting acclimated to my new new spot at work. I’ve moved again and will be working with a new team permanently. More changes!
After work to combat my tiredness we headed out to Webster park and ran in Dirt Cheap Trail Race #2! This is a longer course than the other two sites we run at, it’s relatively flat though which is great, and is one of my favorite spots to run. It’s a fun course involving single track, mud, open grassy areas, a stream crossing (depending on the time of year the water is either ankle or knee-deep), and even jumping over or under downed trees.
I had a pretty good run all-in-all. The last .67 miles my legs were starting to realize that they had a killer leg workout in the morning and then I had just made them run 5 miles, too. WTF Jenn?!
My stats: 5.67 miles in 54:18 (clock time)
Garmin stats: 54:15 total = 9:34 avg/mile
- 1- 9:29
- 2- 9:46
- 3- 9:03
- 4- 9:41
- 5- 9:23
- .67- 6:53
It was a fun night. Any night I can be outdoors, running and spending that time with Hammer is a good one!
