Monday Workouts... It's On Like Donkey Kong!!!

GOOD MORNING ALL..... I hope everyone is well this morning and is ready to get back to the grind and make this the best year of your life!!! I ran 10k (6.2 Miles) in 52:56 this morning and followed that with 102 flights of stairs on the stairmaster in 20 minutes. Lifting and swimming tonight.

 WHAT DID YOU DO TODAY????   

UPDATE**** Went back to the gym this evening and swam 2500 Meters in 44:14. Have a good night...

Well I got up early this morning and went to the gym, 20 minutes on the AMT machine and 30 minutes lifting weights. Tonight, I have Krav Maga class and thats about 60 minutes long.

16.16 miles down, 1078.84 to go and 350 days to get there! Today was my first day of running since surgery. Ugh everything was unhappy at first, then I found a speed and cadence that pretty much cooperated for the next 4 miles.  I want to get on the bike trainer tonight, but we have cub scouts, so not sure how much energy I am going to have after that.

Thank god for  underarmor or the cheap Wal-Mart knock off stuff anyhow.  I think I am going to go and try on a size that is one size too small, see if that holds things in place any better.

I am telling you bro... go to the sporting good store and get one of these... It's been my saving grace:

What is it Dan,
A weight lifters belt, or a back brace or ????

Thanks

Scott

It's a little of both... i pull it nice n tight on EVERY RUN, whether I am training or racing. I wear it over compresion so the rubber doesn't rub me raw (been there done that) and I ran today for the last .25 miles at 12MPH on the treadmill with NO Jigglies :) . I think this is a big reason why my stomach does not get upset when I run with food in it... No jostling around!!! $15 could do the trick...I NEVER run without it... PERIOD!!!

Nevermind, I found it on Amazon.

It's worth giving it a try, thanks for the suggestion.

I use the one with magnets... They don't do crap, but I liked it better than the one with a zipper....

Dan:  The 10K is nice but that 102 flights in 20 min - whew!  Talk about max HR!  Nice work.

Scotty Boy - way to chip at that goal.  Glad that you are recovering from the surgery.  My son did cub scouts last year and I could not have been happier when he said he didn't want to do it amymore.  I still made him for a few more weeks to make sure but it was not my cup of tea.

I had an awesome workout today.  There were not time constraints and I was there for almost two hours.  Usually, I am in and out in 1.5 with a shower.  Today I am off and no shower was needed.  Anyway, 3 miles on the TM and...

Flat bench dumbell press  65 for 8; 75 for 8; 85 for 6
Cable crossovers  80 for 10; 95 for 8; 110 for 8
Seated rows 100 for 10 and 160 for 2 - felt a twinge in the low back so I moved on
Seated rows Nautilus machine (not sure of weight) but 3 sets of 8
Seated military press 125 for 8; 135 for 8; 145 for 6
Two handed front raises 60 for 8; 70 for 6; 70 for 6
1 reverse grip pull up
2 sets - plank @ 30 seconds

Gotta love those friggin planks! Yoga is the proverbial Yin & Yang!!!
