2 miles @ 10:14 min/mi (9:30 for first mile, slower for the second)
4x15 pushups
4x20 situps
3x3 pullups
Lunch: pad thai
Dinner: Boston Market - most of half a chicken, corn, mashed potatoes and gravy, and a little cornbread
Coke: around 4 or 5. maybe a little more. it was a StarCraft night.
Going to do this for the next couple of weeks as a prep for the SEAL-inspired workout I'm trying out. I figure that the holiday travel is going to break up any chance of a regular workout routine so I'll just do this one when I find the time. The start of the new year will begin the progression from these easier workouts to the more difficult ones.
Don't know if it was the long break in my workout routine or just being weak, but this workout was deceptively difficult. Looking at it, I knew the run would be hard (target pace is 8:30 min/mi) because I've never been much of a distance runner even when I was in shape. I expected the rest of it to be a breeze. Back in middle school when we had those national fitness test days, I could do 60 situps in a minute without really getting tired, and I know I was able to do about 75 pushups straight. The last set of pushups and situps today was kinda hard. It's kinda sad when you realize that your eighth grade doppelganger might be able to beat up your current self. I guess PE was actually useful.
