Today is is back to seasonal temperatures. This morning S11 and I walked to the local middle school with Alex the Saint Bernard. We then used the schools 400m track to do a bit of running. I ran a lap, walked 100 meters, for a total of 5 laps run and 2 (total) walked. the round trip walk was about 1.7 miles, and I knocked out another 1.75 miles on the track.. so another 3.5 mile endeavor. I also added in one 100m sprint at the very end for good measure. I am going to go buy a stop watch later today so I can have baseline numbers for next time.
Kori mentioned a workout to me that is intriguing, one her PT told her about when she mentioned one I had heard called "The Burpee Mile". It involves running a mile, doing 100 push ups, running 1 mile, doing 100 sit ups, running 1 mile, doing 100 pull ups, and finishing by running 1 mile. I think I am going to do an adaptation of this sometime soon but incorporate shorter intervals and greater length. Besides I cant do 100 pull ups! I would be lucky to do 10.
My ipod shut down due to lack of battery power around the first 100m mark and from there I got to hear myself breathe. That made it difficult to keep running. I do think though that had I my normal pace keeping device I could have run more.
Today was supposed to be my off day. Since I am only working 8 hours this afternoon I turned it into a workout day and tomorrow I will use as my off day since I am working 16 hours. I did get a chance to take my lovely wife out to see the movie "Oz the Great and Powerful". It was wonderful to spend some alone time with her.
Here is the route today.. the middle school track is the 6 lane track SW of the HS track.
