Running uphill on snowy sidewalks is a bit like running on a sandy beach, but it was nice being outside. It was 15 degrees out with windchills of 0 so I layered up well, and probably could have done without a layer. Ran my normal 4 mile out and back and oddly I didn't see anyone out running today. Wimps.
AP 8:49, avg HR 156, max 171. Much slower than I thought I was going, so the snow must've affected me. Or I'm just slow (think it's the latter). |

Ran outside again today. Nice day, 30 or so, but a bit messy with snow melting and cars splashing me. Enjoyed being outside. 1 minute bicycles, 1 minute plank, 25 pushups.
Played 1 hour of basketball at night. Instead of 3 showers for the day I let the sweat dry and slept great. It was a 9 PM game then had to stop at Wally-World to buy some spray paint for this week's pinewood derby. Was amped up for the night so got to bed late. The pinewood derby and me - we're not friends. I hate it on an annual basis. Only 4 more years to go! I can't wait. |

| | Ran 0.8 miles on the TM before Boot Camp, then we did a ton of running. It was a great sweaty workout. You know you're sweating good when your bandana headband is dripping sweat from it's tails. Pretty decent abs work and a few other muscle groups but mainly it was cardio. |

4 TM miles due to -20 wind chills outside. Got a great workout. Did the hills program for the first time and it is a killer! Only ran at a 6 MPH pace for most of it but the incline baselined at a 1.5 and topped out at 7.8 for 1 minute intervals. Last 5 minutes went to 0 incline and 7.5 MPH pace, then bumped to 8.3 for 1 minute, and last minute on 10.0, then 5 minutes cool down. I think I'll start doing more programs like hills or intervals when I have to run the TM although that should be ending shortly with the advent of Spring... possibly.
Avg HR 156, max 179 (yikes!)
1:15 bicycles, 1:00 plank, 30 pushups. |

I need to start doing something on Fridays as I take a complete rest day so I can go out to lunch, which I'm doing today.
However, I did 30 pushups at home last night, and 30 pushups this morning while the shower was getting hot (we have an instant hot water heater and it takes a while). 30 is definitely my max right now, but just a few months ago it was 15. I'd love to get up to 60 eventually, but that seems like Mt. Everest at the moment. |

11.2 TM miles due to waking up to -8 F this morning + wind chill. That's the longest distance I've ever done on a treadmill and it was rough. Didn't get a TM near a fan or up front near the TVs so had to suffer through monotony listening to a local sports show, which is pretty pathetic. I much prefer national sports talk. Ran most of it at 6.5 MPH, started with a 2 incline but that was a bit much for my typical long runs, so bumped it down to .5 then to 0 for the last 9 or so. After 5 or so I bumped up the speed to 6.8, then at mile 9 bumped up to 7.5 MPH for 1 mile and finished the last mile at 8.5 MPH. HR monitor freaked out on me- think the watch needs a new battery - so not sure of avg or max HR but it was in the 170s on that last mile. Didn't use body glide as I didn't realize how much I'd sweat. I was soaked and the nipples are a bit raw. Won't make that mistake again. Overall, good workout. Hopefully won't have to do that again as the below zeros should be well gone now.
