Today's Workout Thread

6 x 25 pushups around lunch, and kettlebell work in the afternoon. I did 5 right, 5 left, 5 right, 5 left, jog in place for 30 s. That was 2 mins each. Repeated 10 times for 200 reps in 20 mins (with the 16 kg). I've been looking for a bigger bell on craigslist, but no luck so far.

I have been forced to live vicariously through all of you for the next 3-4 weeks while my ribs heal I hurt them in the yard when I got nearly impaled by a wheelbarrow handle...

[Leatherstockiings]

Well, that sounds awful Ernie! I hope you recover speedily.

[Ernie1980]

It is terrible...sneezing and any twisting movement hurts like a son of a gun!

Hope you heal up soon Ernie.

One of my mates who I rode with yesterday is also a big road runner and he convinced me to join him & his missus for a 15km road race this morning. The first 6km's are all downhill and then the climbing starts all the way to the finish!

I can definitely feel my quads after that run.

So all in all, a good training and exercise weekend.

The temperature is currently 0 deg F. I'm going to wait until midday to run.
