[/B]Woke up so stiff today that nearly an hour and a half of warm-ups and stretching did nothing to loosen up my calves and hamstrings. No workout today - - not worth the injury risk....[/I]

Re: Steve's "I'm not aging quietly" log
 

wow... do you always do 2 workouts in one day (to say nothing of the work on the treadmill too! --or "hamster trainer'!!)... excellent work.

I think that first WOD looks brutal. I will have to try that sometime ;)

Nancy and Gordon... yea.. I agree on the wine/anti-oxidizing thing!! :rofl:

I hadn't planned to do two WODs in one day, but fell so far behind a couple of weeks back. So one day when I felt good, I figured why not try it...

I think the cleaner eating is helping too.

The Thruster/HPC/SDHP WOD [U][I][B]is[/B][/I][/U] brutal. I thought seriously about scaling it back to 85# or even 75# - - I seriously suck at HPCs.......thrusters are really slow at 95#. This showed me exactly where I need to work.....

Hey - - if we drink enough wine, we don't really need to worry about anti-oxidizing - - we'll just get pickled....:rofl:

[I][B]090827 THURSDAY

Tabata Shoulder Presses @ 45#
12/14/14/9/9/7/7/6 = 78 [/B](6 by strict Tabata scoring)
[I]This took me by surprise - how quickly my shoulders fatigued.

P.M. cross training class. Same activities as morning class today.

[B]Late Evening Workout today. Remind me [U]NOT[/U] to do this again!
[/B][/I][B][I]Warm-up:

2). 1:46
3). 1:47
4). 1:53
5). 1:46
[/B][I]I haven't rowed for a while and it definitely showed. Went out hard in the 3rd bout and was on par for a 1:36 pace, but could not hold it.

[B]Cool Down:
[/B][/I][B]1000m row - 4:19
[/B]

Re: Steve's "I'm not aging quietly" log
 

Sounds like you had a pretty full day, workout wise, Steve. Good job. That is quite a bit of volume of work you did.

Re: Steve's "I'm not aging quietly" log
 

Hey Gordon,

Thanks - - not as busy as some, though. Nice to have a little change of pace with the rowing...

[I][B]090828 FRIDAY
090829 SATURDAY
090830 SUNDAY

ALL REST DAYS.....Friday and Saturday, not by choice. [/B]Traveling out of town all day Friday. Was in the exact same area ravaged by a fast moving wildfire today....lots of houses burned and people displaced...Sad.

Back at it tomorrow - - starting my new job, so it'll be interesting to see how I do with a workout at "O-Dark Thirty."
