WOD 1/31/08
Run: 5k Workout: 2 mile run Then: Deadlift, work up to one rep max Run = 25:06, Run = 15:30, Deadlift = 300# Did two runs today to complete a Nike+ challenge. Had to run 50 miles in January. If I hadn’t had those knee problems earlier in the month I wouldn’t have had to do that second run. The deadlifts were a little unsettling. I ran out of weights and couldn’t go any...

Almost under that 24 minute mark. Once I’m under that I’ll get some serious confidence to drive that...
Boredom.
It’s 9pm and I’m bored. I figured I’d write something since there’s nothing better to do at the moment… and if I did I lack the motivation to pursue it. Since the half marathon has passed the excitement and anticipation that went along with it have faded. It’s kind of a big comedown. In rapid succession graduation, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, my...
Progression_003 (Half Marathon)
Ran the ING Half Marathon this morning. This week was mainly focused on preparing for it. It was great getting to come down to Fort Lauderdale / Miami again and hanging out with everyone. A big thanks to Kris for letting me stay at his place. The half marathon went really well. Managed to cross the finish line at 2:04:20 according to my timer. I’ll have to wait for my official time to...

Workout: 5k Run Workout: “1775” 17x Burpee & Pull-up combo + 75x Squats Four rounds, “(one for God, one for Country, one for Corps and one for Chesty Puller - do a web search if you don’t know anything about him)” - Gym Jones Run = 25:09 The run was pretty horrible again. Still not back into the 24 minute range which is pathetic. “1775” was...

Not going very in depth with this one. Overall the week wasn’t that great. Having me knee filled with fluid through Thursday made things difficult. The ridiculous cold didn’t help either. I only ran twice this week which isn’t good with a half marathon coming up next Sunday. I’m not too worried about missing the long run yesterday though. I had been alternating long...

WOD 1/15/08
Workout: 5k run Run = 25:25 Yeah, slow run. It sucked. I missed out on a workout, too. My knee is messed up and my back is still worn out from yesterday’s deadlifts. Tomorrow I’ll make up for it.

The "FAA"
At work we get a little bored and have to find ways to amuse ourselves fairly often. This takes many forms ranging from office pranks to long running jokes. Out of everything we have come up with to make the days just a little more special the newly named, The “FAA”, is our real benchmark. The “FAA” is our naming convention for work days of the week. It all started when...
Progression_001
Today was a rest day. I’ve taken on a workout regiment that consists lifting and running during the weekdays and going for an endurance run on Saturdays. Sundays will be left open for recovery and time to reflect on the previous week’s performance. I also would like to use this day for planning the next week’s regiment. I won’t be posting it with the Sunday blog, it...

Saturday Run 1/12/08
Workout: 10 Mile Run Run = 1:28:54 Not much to say about this one. I wanted to see if my body was in good enough condition to tackle a half marathon in a couple weeks down in Miami. I think I’m pretty well set. While challenging the run was still fairly comfortable averaging around an 8:53 pace. As usual I started out faster than I probably should have for a longer run with a 7:57...

WOD 1/7/08
Workout: 5k Run Workout: 10x Pull-up Then: 100x Burpees Run = 24:50..ish My Nike+ data on my iPod randomly disappeared today so I don’t know the exact time. It’s wierd because my accumulated totals are still there but the individual workouts are gone. Kinda ticks me off especially when I’m taking part in a Nike+ competition. Didn’t use the kettlebells today sadly. The...
