Weight Training, Elliptical, & Race Photos

Do you realize, there are only 8 weeks left until the Avenue of the Giants Marathon? Two short months and I'll be up in Humboldt again, trying to smash last year's slow time. :)

At today's gym workout, I was a little choppy at the start from lingering quad soreness after Saturday's race.

Warmup, w/45lb barbell, 3 sets of 5
Overhead Barbell Squats
Barbell Squats
Good Mornings
Alternating Lunges/
Deadlift
Romanian Deadlift

Workout
Dumbbell Bench Press, 3x25x(2x25lbs)
Incline Barbell Bench Press, 2x20x(65lbs)
One-Arm Dumbbell Rows, 3x25x(2x35lbs)
T-bar rows, 2x25x45lbs

30 minutes, 209 calories

Afterwards I did another 33 minutes on the elliptical for 290 calories, making today's total burn 580 calories.

Also, the pictures from Saturday's race got posted.



I've posted the rest to my Flickr page.

  • 13:04:36: I'm coughing all this gunk up today. Bleah.
  • 13:07:58: What a nice day. I'm tempted to run, but my congestion & my quads are looking at me with arms folded, shaking their heads.
  • 14:57:47: OK so how creepy is it that in Just One of the Guys, the guy's best friend reveals his (her) boobs to him, so a month later they date?
  • 15:27:45: Damn you, @Palm #Pre commercial, you made me pick up my phone by playing the notification sound!

  • 18:59:03: Does the new @palm #pre Facebook app support notifications, or am I missing something? Notifications make FriendsFlow superior if not.
