Day 46 &47: The 300 vs. the 880

The next 3 weeks of this blog are going to follow a bit of a different format. I feel the look is stagnant and with things getting busy at the office, at home and with life in general, Its a perfect time to flip this puppy on its head. Also, while I'm still trying to post every workout, there will be many times over these upcoming weeks that I will need to combine from time to time for lack of available "me time". My initial thought when creating this blog was to keep a uniform format. List the workout, show the equipment, complain about how I hate working out and struggled with the requests. But, much like the description of a Continuum (see Sully, I'm listening!) I need to adapt this writing. And it makes sense. I don't hate working out any more, I love it! Moreover, how many times do you want to see a picture of my shoes, now almost worn through the sole from the wear and tear I've put on them. Yes, its time for a change, so let's bring more casual into it.

Thursday's workout was 10 rounds of the following:
10 pushups
10 hanging leg raises
10 squats holding the large cement block

Friday: 7 880's with 2 minute rests between rounds

I felt like these 2 workouts were like the 2 premium fighters in Thunderdome, with Tina overlooking them to ensure 2 enter, 1 lives.



This week, they combated honorably for most sore when completed. Is there more to say? I mean, I flat out did 300 reps and ran 3+ miles in 2 days. The realization of what I now come to expect as a "normal day's workout" has left me without words. So I'll hold onto those words and save them for tomorrow's post, because tomorrow we are taking the challenge to Fairfax, VA...yes Virginia. I'll be down there on business and cannot wait to find out the reaction from the cabbie and front desk clerk when I ask where the closest playground is located. Until then...

BOOM
