9 miles in 7:21 pace

Countryside loop. 7X50 stride pick-ups.

Finished the second half of ab-ripper X with Aaron when I got back from my run. Also did a few more sets of sit ups (too distracted by my kids to count), 4X11 pull ups, and 4X27 push ups. Aaron pointed out to me this morning that I do most of my pull-ups dynamically (cheater?) I try to start off static but after about 4 or 5, my legs start swaying and body kinda has to lunge to get me up. I don't plan on changing my form because I like it and it is still super challenging, but rocking and rolling definitely enables me to do more. Just thought I would disclose that so y'all don't think I'm some sort of super perfect pull-up prodigy.

Registered for a little 5k this weekend since we'll be in Phoenix for a business trip and I won't have my team to work out with anyway. It'll be good to see where my fitness is and work the kinks out a little before the Bolder Boulder in a couple of weeks. This will be my very first race of 2010!!!

If you stuck with us, you just did 160 butt kicking core working excersises. Tip of the day: Don't do this every day. You don't need it. You don't work other muscles every day, and you shouldn't work abs every day. Especially ab ripper X.

Good luck in Phoenix. It is warming up here. I know there's no way I can go watch you race. :( I'll be cheering for you, though. Listen for voices in the wind.

Uh-oh Burt, you've been slacking on the ab-ripper X...he says THREE HUNDRED AND FORTY NINE butt kicking blah blah blah.

I'm hoping we can work in a quick visit Saturday afternoon/evening sometime. We are staying in Scottsdale, which is pretty close to Mesa, right? Are you having an unpacking party at your new house Saturday afternoon? Maybe we could come help you lift a few boxes or something.

I said that because you only did the last half with Aaron. And since 349 is not divisible by two, I chose 160. :)

Scottsdale's pretty close to Mesa. Especially South Scottsdale. You are more than welcome to help us unpack. You may even get to smell the musty odor eminating from the carpets.

I still think you're a super prefect pull-up prodigy.

You will win the little 5K, no doubt.

Burt-Turns out our Step bro and his family are tied up Saturday night, so we'll be available to meet up sometime between 5-7 p.m. if you want.

Carolyn-Thanks for your vote of confidence. I'm a little nervous about racing in 90+ degrees since I'm not at all acclimated to that sort of heat. Its sure to be a sweat drencher!

Cool. Do you guys want to go on a run ;) or grab a bite to eat?
