Bike

  • 25.49 miles
  • 17.42 Mi/hr

Rode with Mike after coming back from CrossFit. Went up the entire BIG HILL in 12th gear standing up! WOO HOOOO! Good workout!

Sport
  • Crossfit
  • 40m

Did a new warm up that was more of a skill teaching lesson.

Did some new drill that I forgot the name of that was much like a dead lift but I pulled the bar up fast, got under it, then lifted it to shoulder height. Got up to 105 pounds. Doesn't sound like much really, but I'm getting there.

Ended with a routine for time.
Row for 500 meters
40 air squats
30 set ups
20 push ups
10 pull ups

Busy day for a retired guy.

Run
  • 1h 41m 13s
  • 8.35 miles
  • 12m 07s /Mi

This was the double loop course for the ultra I'm doing in 2 weeks. Went with Kurt...thank goodness, or I would be lost for days!
Did the first 5ish mile loop, came back to the car, changed shirts and then we did the second 3ish mile loop. Had to stop several times with the map to figure out which direction or trail to take, but we somehow found our way back in the end, so no Donner Party tail for this one.

Pace.
1 mile easy warm up
4 miles at 6:25 pace.
Yowza. Not as fast as I wanted for a "pace", but it's the first "race pace" I've even attempted in months, even though I've done plenty of speed work. I'm just gonna trust that a proper taper and continued work will allow me to kick ass on race day on Thanksgiving.

Up and off for a run.  Took Conor to Cub scout hike and fish trip, then went to step dad's house for a few hours to clean the very leaf thick pool.  Home for china made food, and a bit of merlot complements of Fat Bastard.  Good stuff.

WOW that was hard. Had to put the treadmill to 10% incline to get to Z5!

October 6

Run
  • 22m 45s
  • 3.00 miles
  • 07m 34s /Mi

Just a little further to get me and the Newtons on the right same page, but as far as I can tell, we've been in the same book isle the entire time. They feel good and I feel fast in them.

Sport
  • Crossfit
  • 40m

Did the 2 rounds of the Cross Fit warm up
Learned how to DEAD LIFT and did quite the workout
Did a core workout with planks afterwards.

Today I launched my Personal Training web site.  Let us see what becomes of it all?  This was my plan "A" all along, but was sidetracked for a while with a pie in the sky.  The pie is not looking so hot, and it looks like I'm entirely back to plan "A". 
Erin started school late today, so I took her to First Watch for breakfast. 
I'm really happy with Cross Fit and the entire lifestyle of it.
Learning more each year is really making a difference.

October 5

Run
  • 15m 49s
  • 2.00 miles
  • 07m 54s /Mi

A little run to further break in newtons and clear my head.

I tell myself that I'm not going to work out today.  Let's see if that really happens.  I've been tired lately and didn't take a day off after the race, like I usually do.  Mary thinks I've pushed to hard since the IM...and that's probably true.  I got some new running shoes and my new run shorts came in yesterday and I'm antsy to try them out.....maybe just a little 2 mile run later....what could that hurt....right?
