April 30

Bought a spin bike on craiglist. I'll be spinning when I get home from a long day of work and school.

April 29

Nothing. Boo. Won't this month just END!

April 28

30,31,30,31. 200s are much more fun than 400s.
12.x, 12.x, 12.x, 13.x, 13.x
12.x, 12.x, 12.x, 13.x, 12.x

This workout was harder than it looked...but felt really good...except for the frost on the track.

April 27

Leg extensions and leg curls on the bench...long stretching session. Feeling good for my track workout in the morning.

Lifting tonight after work. Gotta get back on the hips and thighs...still not flexible enough.

April 14

I hate doing track workouts.
I hate doing track workouts alone.
I hate doing track workouts alone in the cold.

This morning I did most of the track workout for this week at RHAM by myself. I shut it down early after a mild strain in my groin. No big deal, but didn't want to push it. It was miserable, but I was glad I got out there and accomplished something. And, my 400s were actually more consistent...which was a goal going in.

79,75,70 / 76, 78, 76 / 53, 54 / 55, 53 ....

April 13

Rest. Track workout tomorrow and then a whirlwind rest of the week.

Track workout for the week of April 12

Jog, active warm-up, stretch
2 sets of 3x400, rest 1:30 between 400s, rest 4 minutes between sets.
2 sets of 2x300, rest 1:30 between 300s, rest 3 minutes between sets.
1 set of 2x400, rest 1:30 between 400s
Cool down, stretch

I'll be doing this alone on Wednesday morning because of a work commitment. Track works alone suck...find a buddy or two to run with and its much more likely to be productive.

Busy day...hopefully I'll lift tonight.

April 7

Sounds easy enough...I'll be doing it at the Rocky Hill track on Wednesday at 5:30 pm. Maybe some mini afterwards?

April 5

Never got around to working out. Boo for me.

April 4

Actually rested today. Did some light chores around the house and threw at my throwing pole with dogs as marks. I probably went about 8 for 72 on the day from 20-25 yards. Not great numbers, but felt good to be out and throwing in the nice weather.

April 3

Rest day. Dragged a leaf blower around the yard, went up and down the ladder 4 or 5 dozen times, cleaned the gutters, installed gutter shields, powerwashed the house, installed 4 light fixtures, vacuumed several gallons of water from my basement, repaired a sump pump, installed a new windshield washer pump in my car, relocated two plants and spread mulch and grass seed. Thought about re-running the track workout from yesterday...but never got around to it.

April 2

I effing hate track workouts.

63, 68, 78. Huffing and puffing for 4 minutes. 72, 76, 74.

At least the second set was somewhat consistent.

Eff you, track workout.
