Playing soccer in the park with Thal's work team for 2 hrs

I was covering the 3 classes at the gym Sunday.  It was a wee bit of a struggle to get up after bierkraft carousing with 3 waves of friends.
(I've turned the corner to old ladyship)

Workout:
Yelling at everyone else to try harder
Muscle-up skill work-- I can get above the rings I just don't have the dip strength to finish :(
so read: dips

Foods:
1 piece toast with 1/2 sliced avocado
Coffee
1 turkey club sandwich (made myself an extra piece of bacon), 2/3 pear, 1/2 handful of cashews, 1 medium bowl ice-cream
1 sesame ball (so convenient to my snacking that Mark Bloom lives in chinatown), 1/2 glass Rockaway Stout
Leftover pasta with veggie sauce

Future (half) marathon, here I come!

On Thurs I ran 2 mi w a sick friend in the pitch dark around a pond. Hope I don't catch the flu!

Fri + Sat = rest + lotr + nfl + registered for THIS + does anyone wanna go to THIS? (because she rules. video games, violin, sick beats, nerdy, nice, etc -- coming to Provi in Feb!)

Sunday! Ran 3 miles at 10-something pace. Came inside and did 13+min abs to THIS song I created circa winter 2009 (10 exercises, change at the song change. naturally i had to include the entire pokemon song at the end) while watching the NFC playoffs seahawks v falcons.

NOMS:
a lot of stuff (read: mom's cooking), pics to come... and TONIGHT I'M GOING TO AN ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT SUSHI steak bar to watch PATS + EATTTTT!!!!!

Bandwagon-Boston-Sports-Fan,
Em

extra tidbit: part of my lotr activity includes playing the iphone game, The Hobbit: Kingdoms of Middle Earth. My in-game name is Emsheowyn and my city is Maktarrowdin

oh edit: didn't really explain the title. or maybe i have. it's because i'm running more since speed is not as important for me as rugger-no-more. but distance running is quite fit for a ref! :) how was serevi camp ploi?

Deadlift Day

1/11/2013

Work from home friday meant I had plenty of time to mentally prep for this and it was a success!!! PR by 15 pounds!!!!!!!

The workout:

20 min to establish a 1RM Deadlift:
265# Wooo the next milestone is 2x body weight so ~284 Maybe by the end of feb?!?

4 rounds for total working time:
8 hang squat clean to thruster 95#
12 burpees over bar
16 kettlebell swings 16kg

1:1 work to rest ratio ie, however long it took you to do the round, rest that long and then start your second round, only count the working time for your time on the workout

11:31 Rx

Food:
We had no bread in the house and who wants to eat eggs without bread, so I didn't get bfast until around 11:30 when I had time to run out and buy some:
Bfast: Coffee
2nd Bfast: 3 fried eggs, 2 pieces of toast, 3 pieces of bacon, 1/3 of an avacado
Lunch: 3 handfuls of cashews
Coffee (w/Katie East!)
Dinner: Portabella mushroom stuffed with spinach and cheese on top of a massive pile of pasta and veggie spaghetti sauce, 1 bottle left hand nitro stout
Dessert: A few spoonfuls chocolate fudge-brownie ice cream


And now its the freakin weekend, time to go be fools in the park.

Yesterday was an R&R day in the best way.

1.25 pieces toast with butta and avacado
Coffee, 2 handfuls of almonds
Trail mix packet, tea
1 Turkey sandwich, 1 cup left over fresh fruits

I don't know if you guys are journalers, but: www.penzu.com -- the set-up is hokey, but I like it. And reflective writing is good for the soul.
