Ow!

My goal today was to run 5 miles, like I did on Tuesday. I almost made it, but ended up falling flat on my face. Normally that wouldn't be a big deal, except for the lack of grace...

See, there was a picket fence, and as I fell, my arm went back and in between two boards of the picket fence. My arm got stuck, but my forward momentum pulled my arm through the boards. Here's how my arm looks:


Not the greatest picture, I know, but it's what I have at the moment. I took that with the Treo.

Anyway, I feel ok, but my arm hurts.

Today's workout:

Warmup, with 45lb bar
Overhead Squat
Squat
Good Morning
Barbell Lunge
Romanian Deadlift
Bent-Over Row

Workout, all exercises are 1 complete circuit
Multidirectional Lunge, 70lbs, 3 sets of 15
Underhand-Grip Dumbbell Row, 35lb dumbbells, 3 sets of 15
Single-Leg Bridge, 3 sets of 10
Serratus Dip, 3 sets of 15
Plank, 3 sets of 10
Hanging Scapular Retraction, 3 sets of 10

WOW! Today's a cardio day, so I decided to see how fast I could run a 5k. I had measured the distance in the car the other day...

I did it in 32 minutes. Now that's not the greatest time on earth, but it's certianly not the worst. Since I was already jogging, rather than turning around, I just kept going and finished my normal route for a 2nd time.

Yup, I ran 5 miles total! 58 minutes. I think that averages out to 5.5mph, which isn't quite 6. I was really slowing down at the end there. Anyway, I'm happy.

Now watch me go to sleep at 6 tonight.
