Man P-lott, you're making me feel lazy. I need to step it up so I'm not holding us up during the TM. I'm still a little worried about the monkey bar obstacle. I think I have a mental block with that one. I need to get over it. I also think I tend to give up really easily. I need to work on pushing myself beyond what I think I can actually do. I usually surprise myself. So here's what I've done since my last post:
Friday, April 29
Went to MBar in the morning. We did a 4 exercises for 6 minutes of each exercise. Each set was 15 sec of work followed by 15 sec of rest. The exercises were push ups, pull ups, Hindu jump squats, and jungle gym xt leg curls. Then I did a 5 mile run with Jennie in the afternoon at about a 9 min/mile pace.
Saturday, April 30
Goalty for 2.5 hours
Sunday, May 1
I took it easy today. I was hungover and still really sore from Friday. Went out and threw with some of the Masters players and we played hotbox for like 30 minutes.
Monday, May 2
I did MBar in the morning. I did 6X4 clean and press with a 20K kettebell for each arm. Followed that up with doing back dome for 15 seconds followed by a sit-up exercise. I did a prison type workout from 10 reps of the sit-ups to 1 rep, alternating with back dome between. Then I did 3 sets of 10 power wheel roll-outs and 15 sitting axe chops with a med ball for each side. Then did a 3 mile run in 25 min 53 sec later that afternoon.
This weekend is Steve's BP, so I am planning on Saturday being my rest day. Alternatively, I also might be really hung over Sunday so maybe I'll workout out at the Aloft hotel on Saturday and make Sunday my rest day. We'll see how I feel this weekend. I like the idea of doing 2 a days at least 2 or 3 times a week. I'm also going to start going to MBar before goalty. I might be tired for goalty, but the goal is to rock the TM, not goalty. I actually have been enjoying working out and pushing myself. I find that at the beginning of a run or a bike ride I hate it. Then in the middle and toward the end I want to rock it. Like I said above though, I need to work on pushing myself. In the end I am my worst enemy at performing at a high rate.
On a separate note, I would like to try to get together with the Madison TM peeps and try to plan some kind of obstacle course for us to do. An extended trail run would be cool. Not this Sunday, but maybe next Sunday. Here's to being one ToughMudder.
