In March! Global warming? Yeah, I am with Mitt, its a hoax...
5K run outside. Felt pretty good for the first outdoor run of the season. Time was 22:40. Walking lunges and pushups to close.

last week
This is from Thursday -
squats: 225x5,5,5
bench: 145x5x5
chins: 8,7,6
finisher - some pulldowns
Friday: snowboarding at Lake Louise. It was grand. Well except for the first run where my binding came loose and turning was more of an adventure than usual.
Josey is thinking of buying a Cadillac. I'm actually not sure that's the right one but you get the idea.

Still here too . . .
. . . And wondering if I can remember what I did this week. Should be easy as I think there were a lot of days off!
Fri, Sat, Sun: eating, drinking, and shopping in Montreal with Pete, Ken, and Judy
Mon: pump and flow
Tues: run with Pete outside - i felt so strong and the run was so easy that I thought *all* my treadmill work was paying off until Pete rated the ease of the run as a 3 too and he's done nothing since Aug!
Wed: flow
Thurs: pump
Jealous of you Jo walking to work. I have grand plans that I will cycle to the DOT office in the summer. Let's see how that pans out!
I feel spring is coming! Woohoo!

Still here for now
Warm-up - 1000m/5 min row
Four rounds:
10 hang-clean-press (45 lb)
15/leg rear foot elevated split squats
40 v-sit ball tosses (3 kg ball)
Um, that is all...
(Hm, I've never used weight with the Bulgarian squat, but I think I may start. I quite enjoy these ones.)
* * *
Further to Daddy-O's comment, I'm considering migrating back to Pregnant Pause for the time-being, so I can blather about the effects of living with a parasite while trying to not get (too) fat and lazy. I started over there the first time at 14 weeks pg -- that is about now. I may have to change the URL though -- I'm not so fit as I once was... Funny how pregnancy leads to a child, who eats up all that time you used to spend running/jumping/lifting/etc.

How about we doesn't*
That's what my posterior chain said on run #2...
Crossfit as Rx (always wanted to write that!): 3 rounds of 800m run, 50 back extensions, 50 situps.
This LOOKED much EASIER than it WAS- 29:20.
* Famous Timbot line; "Tim, how about we do a pee pee on the potty?" "No. How about we doesn't..."
Nice Work Josey. I would love to be able to be able to walk to work.

Spring-a-ling!
Finally got out for a lovely run! 10 degrees in the NCC today, so I decided to check out the trails. They were still snow-covered, but not too icy to tackle.
It felt great (ie: I didn't feel either pregnant or like I hadn't run in a long time), and I managed a fair-ish clip. Ran for 28 minutes and think I covered close to 5K. Looking forward to doing this much more regularly. I'm hoping that by quitting frisbee early (last game was this week, though we didn't actually get to play it), I won't screw up the cartilage that kept me from running through to nine months last time.
Also backpacked Tim both ways to nursery school, for a solid 9K of mileage today. :-)
Might also take up walking as a sport, to get me through those lower-energy days that are bound to happen. (Um, currently they are occurring every 3th day. But JesusMurphy is the 2nd trimester ever an improvement over the first. I'm actually capable of staying up until 10 pm now! Whoop!)

cat scratch fever
I was sick for a week. And then weak as a little kitty cat for a week after that. So, I'm back (ish):
bench: 145x5,5,5
db press: 40x5,5,5
chins: 7,7,6
lat pull down finishers.
No squats til I feel like I'm fully recovered (hopefully Thursday).
Happy Birthday, Emma!

fine, i will post already
congratulations Ms Hedda and happy birthday Emma! Trust news of +another and 40 years were duly celebrated :)
not doing anything too interesting as of late, just the regular 3x week yoga. though now that the days are longer, have started walking the 5km to/from work (running is still not an option with the IT band/exhaustion combo). I must admit that i am a far nicer person arriving home after a walk than a ride on the bus (do those teenagers know they make our ears bleed?)
also felt strong enough to hit the gym again yesterday. did 5 mins of skipping followed by:
warm up: 10 x 5 single arm press, goblet squats
2 mins of skipping
complex: bar x3 reps x3rounds
(row, cleans, front squat, press, back squat, good mornings)
2 mins skipping
followed by a round of disc golf, followed by a round of beers and the brier.

Still winter, just barely
Chatted a little too long outside nursery school, ended up with a frozen face and with dwindling time so didn't go for the planned run.
Instead, to the basement!
Row - 10 min/2K
Split squats (45 lb) - 3 sets of 10/leg
Cheater chin-ups - 3 sets of 4
V-sit ball tosses - 3 sets of 30
At the park after school: Four sets of 10 various push-ups on the climbing ropes -- focus on triceps with an incline.
To make up for the shortened workout, I backpacked Tim both ways to school. (Lately have been doing it only one way due to time and energy limitations.)

A little bit lower now
Squats. Warmed up with 65lbs bar, then:
5x 205, 5x 225, 5x 235, 5x 245, 5x 225. Went to parallel or below on all.

Circuit Tuesday
For once I was more in the mood to move quickly than lift heavy. So I did this circuit:
Five rounds:
2:20 min hard row (about 500m)
30 alternating squat kicks
15 hang cleans (45 lbs)
20 alternating oblique crunches on the ball
= 28:30 min
I've got about a week or two more before hang cleans will be impeded by my burgeoning belly. I have high hopes that I have a few more months of crunches....
Had to skip Monday's workout to do a DIVA of Distinction interview. :-) But Tim insisted on going to the park post-nap. To keep myself warm in the -10 weather, I did 4 x 10 (per leg) raised-leg split squats and 4 x 10 bench push-ups.

Punishing
'Cause I suck.
Five rounds of 800m + 10 knees-to-elbows. 27:20, which included a 1 minute wait for a complete bitch resting on the pull up bar. Run times we 3:47 or below.

Made it up as I went
In the gym Studio:
warm ups things
-tabata: step overs on a step (up-up-down-down-up-up, left to right as fast as I could). Fun.
-2 x 17s (sprint 12 yards, run backwards back to the beginning over and over, 17 12 yard lengths total.) Harsh on my poor little thighs.
-3 rounds 30 kg overhead walking lunge x 10 followed by 15 pelvic bridges with 30kg. easy.
-3 x 10 laundry jumps (working on exploding). Tiring.
-3 rounds 130 lb farmer walk (a 65lb DB in each hand) for 1min; 2x around the studio, 10 basket ball jumps. Grip was sketchy at the end.
