Day 37, 38 and 39: Yeah we're Consolidating

The emails:

#1: Go out and run 4.

I want you to run negative splits (each mile is faster than the last) 

#2:

Set the clock for 5 min. Faster you finish more rest you earn.

12 box jumps

12 small cinder block push press

12 cycle jumps

12 pushups

12 hanging leg raises

1 sprint to corner of street (the curve) and back to park

#3: Re run the 880

The equipment:

What a weekend! Birthday parties, conference calls, baby poop up the back to the neck, and a 3 year old that thinks peeing on the couch is entertaining. Oh yeah, and I did all the crap listed above (the exercises, not the peeing and pooping...though I have done both in the span of a weekend once)

Friday was a good run. Slow, but good. I finished feeling like rubber legs again and had to work a 9 hours shift that very night. Talk about entertaining. My section was farthest from the kitchen and one of the largest; 6 tables. I looked like a muscle relaxer abuser. Or like Catherine O'Hara in Best in show:

Saturday was an off day, though I needed to confirm through several texts with Geoff that is was in fact an off day AND indeed Saturday!

Sunday was fun too. That concrete block is so obnoxiously awkward and heavy, I always start strong and finish looking like Olive Oyle








That brings us to this morning: the 880

I woke this morning with something to prove. I left and ran 9:06, 8:42 and 8:37 splits finishing with little left in the tank and heaped on my front lawn gasping for air. It felt perfect.

Its easy to get overwhelmed with life; I do everyday now. There is so much to manage. In an all for one, none for you atmosphere, its still a huge relief to have these workouts. That's the "me" time I crave each day that either preps me or relieves me of the stress of running around like a chicken with its head cut off. AND to "top" it all off:


 I want to make these with the back that says: because they are too busy reading "the Playground Challenge" and have the website listed

Thoughts?
BOOM!
