May I just say that the wind KICKED MY ASS TODAY?!?!?!!
5 miles, 51:13:00. It would have been faster if not for THE AFOREMENTIONED WIND (grumble, grumble). Better workout, I guess. I was like 30:29 at the 5k mark, something like that. Not as good as the other day, but, well... you know. ;)
Calories burned: 647

It didn't start out this way, but today ended up being one of those where it's a struggle to work out. Not my own doing, mind you, but as I think I mentioned before, the people at work have realized that if I'm not at my desk I'm likely in the workout room.
DAAAAAAAAMN CONVENIENCE!
So anyway, I helped them, then promptly threw my water bottle across the warehouse, it broke, and water went everywhere. Hey, I got the frustration out, right? Then I finished the workout.
Warmup, Circuit of 30 seconds each exercise, 3 sets
* Jumping Jack
* Split Jack
* Prisoner Squat
* Alternating Lunge
* Mountain Climber
Workout
* Squat, 155lbs, 6 sets of 10
* Close-Grip Chin-up, 1 set of 4, 4 sets of 2, 1 set of 1
* Lean-Away Lateral Raise, 20lb dumbbell, left/right, 12/12, 20/5
* Hanging Leg Raise, 1 set of 5, 1 set of 3
40 minutes, 254 calories burned

Today I had my best time for the 5k: 29:10:26! Prior to this, my best time was more like 34 minutes. As a cooldown, I walked back and don't feel near as exhausted as I would have otherwise. Gotta remember to do that step.
So I'm altering my workout schedule ever so slightly. It's going to be something like:
M: Weights
T: 5k (3.1 miles), walk back as cooldown
W: Weights
Th: 5 miles
F: Weights
And then whatever cardio I can manage to fit in between. Depending on how long the workouts take, I might do 2.5 miles afterwards. I work out at lunch so I have a limited amount of time. Weekends are up in the air and I can't commit to a schedule.
It was GORGEOUS outside today! When I started it was 63 degrees, 65 when I finished. What month is this, anyway?
