12/07/11

Today I had to do my workout right after my tempo run which proved to make the workout even more challenging.  I love to keep busy, but sometimes being pressed for time stinks when it comes to running and working out right afterwards. 

Run:  5 miler - 4 @ 8:19.  I thought it might be challenging, but the pace was fine and I felt like I could have run that pace possibly for a half marathon.  The challenge wasn't the run, it was the heat in the gym and the boringness of the treadmill.  The television on the treadmill I had to use wasn't working and it's torture even with a television to watch, so it was just that much worse.  I wanted to call it quits after 2.5 miles just because of the boredom, but I tried to really focus on my goal and push through. 

Workout: 
Squat with alternating front raise/toss - 10lb dumbbell - 1 minute
Squat Thurst, pick up 25lb plate while standing and press overhead - 15
Sumo Squats with 40lb front weight - 30
Sit Ups with 8lb medicine ball, toss into air when in upright position and catch on way back down - 25
180 Squats - 30 seconds
Clap Push-Ups - 15

45 seconds rest after completing the cycle.  3 sets.
