Thursday

Left palm is getting better, still taped it though.  Fingers are all good thankfully.

Since I'm driving down to Florida to see my friend Mike today, I got up early to get my workout in before breakfast.  Got to the gym about 0600.  A little busy but not bad.

Unfortunately two guys were going back and forth on the rower so I couldn't use that for a warmup.  Had to do 5:00 on an elliptical and I quickly remembered why elliptical machines are dumb.  Stretched for 10:00.

First:
Sealfit 121211
For time:
Run 800m
Then, 10 Rounds:
10 x 4ct Mountain Climbers
10 Dips
10 Leg Levers
Then:
Run 800m

Decent workout.  Not too hard on the upper body although going straight from mountain climbers to dips got tough at towards the end.  I need to work more on my mountain climbers.  I think I rely a bit too much on my arms to hold me up so I get fatigued faster than I should.  The two 800m runs were good, I did both at 6:22/mile pace.  Finished in 20:53

Second:
Since I was strapped for time, I combined shoulders with abs.  Started with standing military press.  Then balance drills followed by a max rep set of reverse crunches.  Then shoulder shrugs.  Then another set of balance drills followed by a max rep set of hanging knees to chest.  Then finished with the shoulder range of motion workout.

Third:
Wanted to just do a short run since my left shin was bothering me.  Headed upstairs to the treadmill and knocked out 4x400 with 1:30 recovery in between.  Good pace on each 400, I think it was around 5:17/mile pace.
