Running With Pepper

No running or biking today. Started a new workout at the gym...the 300 Workout.

a) Pullups - 25 reps

b) Deadlifts with 135lbs - 50 reps

c) Pushups - 50 reps

d) 24-inch Box jumps - 50 reps

e) Floor wipers - 50 reps

f) Single-arm Clean-and-Press with 36lbs Kettlebell - 50 reps

g) Pullups - 25 reps

 It's all done in immediate succession and almost made me puke. I like it...

Nice 4 mile run in the rain on the W&OD/Custis trails. Easy, although the bottom right hip started to get tight around mile 2 or so. Total run time: 30:05. 

7.25 easy miles on the Four Mile Run and W&OD trails after work and the dog park. Thought about bringing Pepper but he probably be a pain. Went slow during the run to make sure my hip wasn't hurting too bad. It really only hurts when I go uphill???? Huh??? Not sure what's going on but my stubborn rear isn't going to the doctor anytime soon. Finished in 56:03 with minimal discomfort in the hip. As I write this, on the following day, I do have some pretty good soreness and can generally locate a specific pain point. Oh well, no pain no gain!

5.25 miles on the Custis Trail, through Ballston, and out Wilson. HUGE hill on Wilson Blvd at mile 3.5 and it was an ass-kicker. Almost had to ask an old lady at the top for some of her oxygen. Good to see our DC humidity is back in full effect.....wait, it's only 75 degrees out now. I can't wait until it's 95 degrees with the humidity...then it'll really feel good. Right hip is feeling a lil better and I continue to stretch it out. Planning on biking for the rest of the week and biking some distance at the beach this weekend. Oh yeah....I'm going to the beach this weekend....anyone care to join?
