back in the saddle again
finding the base on squats & presses
squats: 235x5
press: 110x5
chins: 5,4,4
phone curls: 65x8,8,8
finisher: suitcase walks (1 handed farmer's walk?) 95 x3. 1:28, 1:03, 1:33. Walk 30m, switch hands, walk back. Hard with barbell. Off by the slightest and it starts pointing towards the floor. Rest period was equal to work but I might change that to 60s for simplicity's sake.
<some time later>
20 minute-ish jog.

Of late
Getting ready for Nationals.
G and I created a brutal conditioning workout: Death by 100 cuts. Five cones, 5 yards apart, start in the middle then cut to 5, 10, 15, 20, middle, 5,10,15, 20 middle. Rest 90 sec. Repeat 10x.
On the weekend I ran 5K on the hottest day of the century. 23:50. Lots of stops. Frisbee practice Sunday night.
Tuesday was a loner work workout: Run 1 mile (5:58) 50 squats, 50 push ups, 50 sit ups (by 10's) and then run 400M (1:11). Also pretty brutal.
Today with Scales we lived the goodlife: 150 thrusters with 30kg. Fug. Lightened the load to 20KG at 100; 17:05.

HELLO...
Lo.Lo..lo...lo
Been a while. Summer time super busy mode. Moved house (yeah back yard box), moved mountains (at work) and just plain moved. Lots of running and frizzbee related training this summer. Almost every other day I go out sprinting / running in some form or another, with fellow frizz guys or on my own. I have only been to the gym a few times (squats one day, cleans once, a few circuits with Scales lately -I think he loves them).
Of note over the past summer: knee feels 110%, 5k time is consistent at ~22 and change, 16-12-8-4 a few weeks back was 6:00, 4:33, 3:22, 1:17, did 8x 200m sprints with 400 m recovery runs last week, have played 3 tournaments, one of which was this weekend. Last weekend I worked out in my backyard and neighbourhood in the hot sun. Rounds of thrusters and 800m runs and sit ups. It was awful. I did it with my shirt off and felt cool running on the path. The dip in the pool afterward was awesome.
Today, despite tourney legs, made up a circuit and did it: 5 rounds for time of 500m row, 15 x 65lb presses, 15 front extensions. Did it in a not entirely exhausting 33:30. The presses were hard.
Only 2 weeks to go until nats, for which my team qualified by being the only team in our province to want to compete. Its an "off year", so they say.

ninatoka Canada (Vancouver!)
If I say I am from Canada, this is the most common response.
Monday:
5.4 miles in 1:02. Then we boarded the plane.
Friday:
bench: 60kgx6,6,6
db press: heaviest (not that heavy) x5,5,5
bb row: 60kgx8,8,8
run - 25min @ 7.5kmh, 150bpm. This was tougher than I expected. Could be hangover related. Or I'm a wus.
Tonight we're going to Indian Bingo. Apparently this is a thing. Last night was keg party at Caribou Court (Canadian residence of CIDA and DFAIT workers). Night before was Brazilian BBQ (overunder, don't bother, josey is already tired of the Brazilian sausage party jokes).

Race weekend!
Spent at a marathon wine club then mildly hungover, which poutine eventually cured.
Yesterday I did Sunday's crossfit: A warm up then 3x3x3x3x3x3x3 cleans, starting at 95 and ending at 145, then back down to 135 for the last set. Then 5 rounds (1 per minute) of 5 dips and 5 knees to elbows.
Frisbee game in the evening.

Exactly a workout
Took Benno to frisbie (my god, he is pretty fun to watch) and while he played I:
Ran 5 K (21:48), 3 minutes rest then did 100 push ups and 150 squats and cloccked out at 38:52.

Sushi for lunch on Friday.
However Saturday sweetie and Timmy and I went out for a bike-ride-park-jogging stroller outing and did quite a bit of moving in the AM. Tried out those bright red shoes. Mmmm.
Sunday I did a crossfit; 3 rounds for time of 50 double unders, 40 sit ups, 30 20lb cleans, 20 pull ups, 10 handstand push ups (progressions). After 24:50 and only 2 rounds a pomegranate mimosa seemed like a MUCH better form of fitness, so I stopped. Cheers!

...more of a birthday present. Picked up a pair of these on Thursday and they are an instant hit. Get some.

Schprints
Hill sprints!
Prolonged warm up of the usual frisbee type.
Five rounds each 5 minutes long of 5 hill sprints (this is about 25 paces up a 30 degree angle, maybe more) and 20 sit ups. It pretty much went like: 2 minutes for the sprints, short rest, sit ups, a minute and a half rest. Except the last round where I was thwarted by a pit-bull-on-leash and had to wait to run. I finished the sit-ups at the 5 minute mark.
Kicker: Two full field sprints (101 Ken stretch paces) with 2 minutes rest in between. Each was about 13.5 seconds.
Kicker kicker: Walking lunges back across the field (95) non-stop.

Ouch. Went for a run today and it hurt after. Tight hips, hamstrings and the rest! Ultimate should be fun tomorrow!
Still popping along to GL to do pump and flow on a regular basis but not to the same extent as before Africa :(
Struggling still with the new interface on the iPad. It's not very iPad friendly. Wtf!

Sunny Sunday
Pretty nice here in Qdot.
Just do something day: For time run (what turned out to be 7.5 k) then 10 x 3 pull ups, 10 push ups, 15 squats. Run was 38.32 (a slow 5:06 /km) and total time was 60:25. Quite a grind, pretty pathetic.

And Again
Goodlife:
5 rounds for time: 5x 80 lb press, 5 pull ups, 20 back extensions, 10 walking lunges. Time, 15:32 (which included a long yet not unappreciated wait for an elderly person on back extension device).

Easterlies
Back from sunny Huizhou China. Managed one workout while there, just stuff in the gym then a swim. It was hard coupled with Jet lag and poor diet.
Monday night was Frisbee tryouts. Pretty fun. I ran without knee bracing and it was very good! AND, I am still not a handler.
Yesterday I hit the Goodlife with a warmup, warm up run and 3 rounds for time of 5x 115 lb Squat cleans, 10 knees to elbows and 400 m run. Time was 15:59, which is petty pathetic.
