Weight Training

Nothing too detailed, just a Friday gym workout. And wouldn't you know it, just before heading to the gym I got a nice paper cut and had to work out with a bandaid covering most of my finger. No blood, but boy did it sting.

Warmup, w/45lb barbell, 3 circuits of 5
Overhead Barbell Squat
Barbell Squat
Good Mornings
Lunges
Romanian Deadlift
Deadlift

Workout
Barbell Bench Press, 3x25x60lbs
Seated Cable Rows, 3x25x105lbs
Squats, 3x25x75lbs
Dumbbell Military Press, 3x25x(2x15lbs)
Lunges, 3x25x(2x15lbs)
Front Raises, 3x25x(2x8lbs)
Plank, 2 minutes

47 minutes, 337 calories burned

Tomorrow's a 10-mile run with a 40% chance of rain. I was scheduled for 12 miles, and 10 miles next Saturday, but since next Sunday's the Kaiser Half Marathon, I'm swapping the two.

Thursday's Tempo Run

What happens when the first mile is run at 8:30/mi and the Garmin 305 only tracks 5 feet of it?

One grumpy runner.





Splits
Mile 1: 8:30 (est., Garmin malfunctioned)
Mile 2: 9:04
Mile 3: 11:10
Mile 4: 12:53
Mile 5: 11:01
Mile 6: 11:28

6.2 miles, 1:06:14, 11:09/mi, 646 calories burned
