Homestyle circuit

No gym at the moment; all I have to work with is a 45 lb barbell. So I improvised today with:

Five rounds of

400m run (mapped my block - it's almost exactly this distance)
20 squats (45 lbs)
20 push-ups

Time = 26 minutes

I averaged a few seconds under 2 min for the runs. Not particularly fast, but I wasn't pushing it that hard. Squats were the easiest part. Push-ups were killer for some reason today, and I did most as a half-and-half split between regular push-ups and knees-down, except the first set, which I managed 16/4. Still, 56/44 in 26 minute is ok with me. :-)

When I got out of the shower after this workout, I noticed that veins were still bulging on my temples. Ick.
