P90X this morning, working legs and back. Basically did hundreds of squat variations and about 100 pullups of different varieties. Awesome workout, my gluts loved it, my upper body loved it. Finished off with 15 minutes of Ab work which is just crazy hard, I only get through about half the moves, but it leaves me feeling fantastic the rest of the day. ------------------------ saturday I had great fun working out today. Here's how the day went down: P90X - Woke up at 6:30 and did an hour of p90X Kempo. Basically just punching and kicking the air and doing jumping jacks for an hour. Not a bad little workout actually.
Bike Ride - Then I went for a bike ride on my broken 2 speeder up lookout mountain. Wasn't sure how I would fare riding straight up a mountain in my smallest rear cog, but it was FANTASTICO! I LOVED IT! I started in Golden with a 2 mile warmup to get to the base of lookout mountain, then I hammered out the 4.5 mile climb in 26:09 - a PR for me by over 2 minutes. Which was highly encouraging since I have hardly been riding at all this year. I was out of the saddle for nearly the entire climb just pumping away at an avg Heart Rate of 170. It was a rush. Then I kept climbing another mile to the 'actual' top of lookout mountain. The place everyone tracks time is from the towers at the bottom to the post at the lookout overlook, but it actually goes up another mile from there.
- When I got to the bottom I hadn't gotten my fill yet, so I rode back up again. This time my chain was clicking the whole way for some reason, but I still loved it and felt strong. But I turned around about 3/4 of the way up because I was ready to be done.
- Total ride: 21.27 Miles - 14.4 MPH avg - HR 146 avg - Ascent/Descent: 3059 FT
Unplanned run...with a spontaneous extension...or two. - Running stats: 5.5 Miles - 8:13/mile - HR: ?? - Elevation: 500FT up/down
