Training Log Archive: Sandy

Like the teacher so will try to get to this class often. A great antidote to all the time I've been spending on the computer.

Nice hike with Sandy in the Wissahickon. Took the 5 lb weight out of my pack; have a had a funny feeling in the top of my right quad - not quite a pulled muscle but as if it's on it's way there - so I didn't want to stress it. Felt fine for the hike.

C • Well done 1

Event: (Cancelled) Harriman Relay and Club Festival
 

standard set of arm exercises plus some core (planks)

TNT - laps of the Penncrest fields.

Hill repeats. Remembered the heart monitor and remembered to take splits. Cool - I'm not totally brain dead yet.

Wore the same pack weight as Sunday and I'm now thinking it was the extra weight that wore me out. I felt the same sort of unsteadiness or awkwardness when I started and had to work a good bit harder to get up the hills. But the good news is that this is something that will definitely improve if I just keep wearing the pack and slowly increasing the weight. Psyched.

Stair repeats with my back (~13 lbs): 3 x (2 min single; 5 min double)

Arm strength: side raise, front raise, curl, reverse curl, overhead, tricep
3 sets of 10 each with a count of 5 on the downs for the last set

Worked up a good sweat.
