Morning Basketball

Had a slow start mentally today but my shot was a lot better compared to a few weeks ago. Just happy to get out there and get it done. 

300 workout.

Did this work out. Only had time to go through it three times but it wasn't easy for me.

Morning Basketball

Had a pretty good morning. Felt awake and ready to go. Hit some decent shots. Just need to jump with a little more 'umph' when under the basket. 

Back and Biceps.

Rode my bike to the Rec. Center today. Worked mainly on back and biceps with some various squats and abs sprinkled in. Good workout for me, I just get frustrated because I life such small weights right now. 

9 Miles.

Turned my ankle and fell at 2:22. Hurt, but not too bad. Absolutely happy with my time.

Morning Basketball.

Took the longest time to get my body to wake up. At one point I got so frustrated I let out this primal scream of lament. It seemed to kick-start things a bit. Had some good drives and a couple shots. 

Weights and such.

Finally got to the gym. Did a chest, shoulder and tricep work with abs and legs interspersed in.
Wasn't a great but then again what do I expect after so much on cardio as of late. 

Morning Basketball

5:30 came rather early for me today and thanks to my run yesterday I had absolutely no pop in my step. I had not one care for the outcome of any of the games this morning. Just there to burn what calories I could. 

10 Miles.

That was a tough run. Decent hills with a head wind more than half of it and let's not forget the freezing rain hitting me in the face. Character builder today. Here's the link. 

Sat morn basketball

Love Saturday basketball. It's at 8am instead of 6am, and that really makes a difference for me. I'm so much more awake. Had a good time and felt like I contributed.

I hate interval workouts.

Morning Basketball

Did it. Played, ran and tried. That's all I can really say about the experience. 

Morning Basketball.

Couldn't hit a shot to save my life this morning but had some productiveness around the basket. Also, even though I have some joint soreness from yesterday's run, I could feel a lightness and a quickness in the step (for me) that wasn't there a month ago. 

9 Miles on my day off.

When I run I consistently think about how fortunate I am to be able to move down the road in that capacity. I'm not a super-marathoner by any means but I enjoy every single step (even though I sorta hate every step too). Today, even with the wind being a little mean at some spots, the clouds and the sky were unbelievably beautiful. Great day, good run. Great to be sore, great to know recovery is happening as I type this. 

Morning Basketball.

Good times! Made some shots, missed a few too. I could tell my legs were tired from the run yesterday. Tomorrow I'll take a cardio break. 

8 Miles!

The whole run felt good. The tailwind the first 4 felt REALLY good but it wasn't too bad on the way back I just kept leaning into it and engaging the core while concentrating on a mid-foot strike. Here's the link to the run.

Also, apparently I had my fastest 10K stretch during my run, so that was cool.

Felt energized throughout. Just grateful to be able to run around and make it happen. 

Cardio with the wife.

It's not what you might be thinking. We just did a video workout Turbo Fire for 60 minutes. Good times.  I don't mind jumping around the living room for an hour.

Later that night:
20xs5 pushups
20xs5 curls 30lbs
Deadlift to overhead press 30lb 5xs2
Preacher curls 30lbs - 10xs5
Chest fly's 30lbs - 10xs5

4 miles to work

Ran to work this afternoon. Had a decent tailwind most of the way there. Had a nice average mile pace at 7:13. Here's the link

Did NOT feel like getting up after being woken up so many times by the kids, but I'm glad that I did. My shot was awful but I still had great fun.
