Tuesday Smorgasboard

A little bit of this, a little bit of that.

Started by running a mile on the treadmill (10 min pace, with a little bit of incline thrown in for good measure).  Then did jump ropes, planks, hanging leg lifts, jumping jacks, BOSU ball jumps... Was in the gym about 40 minutes I think.

And feeling great =)

Half a century?!

The intent today was 45 miles, but at the last minute we added a 5 mile spur on to make it a full half century.  I AM POOPED.  But I did it!

Phone battery died halfway through, so the second activity was mapped manually.  Looks like it's time to get that solar charger and figure out how to install it on my bike.

Death by situps

15 minutes, max sit-ups.  2 burpees on the top of every minute.

37-25-20-16-12-14-13-12-18-18-20-22-21-18-26 for a total of 292.

Tuesday workout

Totally forgot to post Tuesday's workout...

Sprint 0.1 miles at 9 MPH
10 Pull-ups
15 sit-ups

I lost count of how many rounds I completed, and I wasn't timing... but I think I finished 7 rounds (60# pullup assist).  I enjoyed this one... will definitely be repeating it.  Need to keep chugging along on pullups so I can get rid of that assist weight eventually.

Saturday ride

Just a few feet shy of 40 miles!  Home to North Park (to pick up Jennifer), downtown, Point Loma, OB, Mission Valley to Mission Gorge, UP HORRIBLE HILLS, then  lake murray and home.  What a ride!

Classic moment of the day... when biking past the occupy protesters in front of civic center, I signaled a right turn -- left arm bent 90 degrees up with a fist.  One of the protesters saw me and signaled back...

I HATE YOU JACKSON BLVD HILL.  I will make you my bitch.

Thursday WOD

death by thrusters: 1 thruster in the first minute, 2 in the second, etc until you don't finish your thrusters in time.  I used 30# dumbbells and finished 8/12.  Not shabby!  Total of 74 thrusters.

Because I overslept...

I missed today's training ride because I slept in til 10.  Oops.  I guess I was tired.

So I headed out at 11 and tried the commute to work.  I made it there!  And then took the long way home (over to La Jolla, down to Mission Bay, then home across Mission Valley) which added about 7 miles on the return trip for a total of 36 miles.  In 3 hours of saddle time, no less, which factoring in some gnarly hills and a ton of stoplights, I think I made pretty good time.  In spite of coining a new catch phrase at the top of a hill, when I turned left and found out there was another steep climb ahead of me.  "Oh fucknuts."  I think I'll use that more often.

And I'm glad I made an unplanned stop for a vanilla bean creme frappuccino at starbucks.  Om nom nom.
