I'm pretty happy about today's workout. I ran up to the rec center and did a bench workout with a warm up set of 10 at 155, 2x10 at 185, I did curls at 10x35 in between and then I decided to try for 205 even though my arms were a little sore after all that, I did 5 reps at 205, which I feel good about for my first set above 200. Next time I'll try for 6/7 reps or maybe just start fresh and go for all 10. I did pull ups, some abs, and back workouts too. Then I ran the next 5 miles of my workout, I stopped with a quarter mile left to do monkey bars at the park, I did 40 monkey bars and then 20 of the monkey hoop things, the little hand holds you grab onto. So that was good. I finished with 30 burpees when I got home, not sure if I was just tired cause of the long workout or what but those burpees felt hard! I'm going to have to be careful not to mess up any of the obstacles at spartan. If I can pass all the obstacles I think top 3 is a possibility. If only fail one I think i could still make top 5ish, if I fail more than 2 I will be lucky to be top 10. But we'll see, I averaged 6:40 pace for today's run and it felt really good, body wasn't asking me to stop and I felt like it would have been comfortable to pick up the pace at any point. So I'm getting in better shape, I'm feeling strong and fast and I've still got about 50 days until the race. I'm feeling good enough and confident enough today that I want to change my goal from top 10 to winning it. Round 2 at the gym for back, pull ups, shoulders, and. Then another ab workout wit my brother afterwards. |
