I’m glad the day is over.  I’m really quite ready for my bed.  The weather was gorgeous so we had dinner on the patio.  Tomorrow the plan is to walk in the morning, do the Costco run at some point and just putter about watering the plants and maybe a little trimming here and there.

Strength Training - June 23rd, 2009

NROL - Fat Loss II - A4

I started with 5-mins cardio outside, most of the warm-up. Then I did:

A1: Front Squat - 80t/10, 80t/10, 80t/10
A2: Bent-over Row - 80t/10, 80t/10, 80t/10
B1: Supine Hip Extension with Leg Curl - 10, 10, 10
B2: Barbell Push Press - 65t/10, 65t/10, 65t/10
C1: Dynamic Lunge - 30e/10, 30e/10, 30e/10
C2: Upper Body Russian Twist - 10, 10, 10

Then I did 5-min warm up, 4 sets of intervals (1m high/2 min med) and a five minute cool down.

57 mins, 427 cals, Max HR: 173 (98%), Avg HR: 130 (73%)

I thought that the intervals might kill me this afternoon. I don’t think I put 100% into them, but I did manage to do them. I tried to talk myself out of the workout a couple of times. I have a headache, my foot still hurts, it’s hot out. Okay, that last one is just wimpy because I could have used the treadmill for the intervals.

The good news is that the car only needs a battery (random, not starting issues lately), although it’s annoying because it’s probably the newest thing on the car. Well, maybe the tires are newer. When we came back from the freighter trip in 2007 (May) the battery had died. My fault as I’m not sure that sitting out in a Houston parking lot was a good thing (with it still connected). The simplest solution was to use AAA’s battery service. Except I really thought we’d get more life out of the damn thing.

Oh well, it could have been worse I suppose. So after my mother gets back from the garage (they’re coming to get her in a few mins) we’ll have our second swim of the day. Yay!
