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.
