Trail hike/run morning, pretty tired today, and quite a bit slower. VLC since yesterday morning.

Total Time 2:16 avg107 max157

Bike to Coast Guard Park and back 28 minutes 6 miles

Going to try to make this a regular morning outing 3-4 days a week instead of the Couch to 5K thing on the road. The trail running is much more enjoyable.



Have to figure out how to get motivated to lift weights, just never really could get into it.

Default Getting Started

Wed, Apr-21-2010 Before breakfast
Only warmup was 1 set of 15 pushups and 12reps light weight on bench shoulder seems to be ok

Hips Good mornings 3x12 33#
Waist Incline Sit-up 3x12 (lower back a little noisy)

Back Front Pulldown 3x7 150# (much better at pull than push)
Shoulders Military Press 3x8 73# only 5 reps set on #3

Back Lying Row 4x10 120# (better at pull than push)
Chest Bench Press 3x8 115# (only 5 reps last set, crawled out from under bar)

Well, I guess this is where we are starting from
Time to quit, nice sunrise over lake, heading downstairs to eat breakfast, still LC.
Maybe will try some squats and dead lifts later today when I get back home from park.
------------------
Went and did the trail/beach run/walk. My best times yet had a lot more energy. It must take 2 days to adjust to a low carb level. It was nice to have the MP3 player not go dead, forgot to change shoes though the slip ons are too loose for the down hills. The right ankle was a little sore 22mins out Marker17, also the left knee was tender for a while, no more leg stuff today.

Ate about 135g carbs this afternoon, did quick ride back of legs feel ok, looks like temps will be in the high 40's.

Thought about what other upper body exercises could be doing, tried out these:
Upper Arms : Pushdown 3 X 12 50 easy
Upper Arms : Curl 3 X 12 55 good
Shoulders : Upright Row 1 X 10 55 (problem with left elbow pain) otherwise easy
Upper Arms : Bench Dip 1 X 8 just weak
Other stuff:
Hanging Leg Raises ( do anytime passing bar )
Stability Ball Hyper extensions
Leg exercises taking backseat to biking/hiking/running for now
--------------
Add ride later:
Went with the slowest B group kind of small started with 7 came in with 6. Did the 34mile route + the 6 mile round trip to the bike shop. I did a good amount of pulling, pretty worn out coming back. Felt strong on the hills going out, but not on the return.

Default Breakfast Ride

"Breakfast Ride" Today we had some local college frat guys show up some kind of fund raiser thing 'Canines for Companions' , kind of a light turnout, we eventually broke into 3 groups, I took the medium length route, came in with my dentist and 2 of the college kids, lost the other boys some time back. Of the 2 one kid never spoke the other inquired 3 times how much farther. The roads were wet 1st half of ride, I was the only one with fenders so a popular guy to follow, did my share of pulling today. Total ride 37.7miles of which 11.4 was transit to shop. Ate a good amount of carbs after the ride, only ham and eggs for breakfast earlier.

Tried to lift weights lost interest pretty quick. Decided to do a easy hike instead, felt good to be outside. Rode to park and did a short hike to the dune stairway did 5 repeats on the main section 106 steps, typical HR at top 155. Did not feel like running after that so just came back.

Thurs 29th Apr 2010 Weights - Shoulder/elbow fine today. Not really enjoying the experience, seems like self-induced physical trauma. Getting weaker on the pulldowns may never be able to do a pullup at this rate.


Thursday night ride, heavy winds went with the B group, started with 12 came in with maybe 16.

Today we had a big group, lots of A riders 12+, 5 B's and 3 C's. No rain but the roads were wet, was the only one with fenders, and went with the B group. Total ride 39.6miles of which 11.8 was transit to/from shop, re-checked distance this morning. Ate a good amount of carbs after the ride and before had eggs/banana for breakfast with cereal earlier.

Default 6.06 mile Trail run/hike early morning

Although legs are still a little tired/tender going ahead with the Dunes hike/run, early this morning before shopping. Once again, new best time on outbound leg. No issues with knees or almost turned ankle events. Really getting familiar with the route now and my down hill gate is getting pretty smooth. My shirt was soaked upon return to the trail head. I remembered to stretch the hamstrings which was a good thing, although almost painful at first. Did notice a new muscle tightness in front of leg just above knee, did not seem to be an issue. Used truck today no bike.

-----------------------------------------------
Wed 5th May 2010 Weights - Decided to do weights today after the 6 miles in the Dunes. Started the weights at noon, was going to try to get through the exercises quicker today. After about 60 minutes, noticed that I could not complete some lifts that were not a problem before. As I'm back in the low carb mode , that run may very well be the cause. I gave it another few minutes and took a break for lunch, the chicken was done in the oven, good timing.
Came back after a carb-free lunch to finish up, had a little more energy but not much. With the low energy I could not complete intended reps nor get through the lifts quickly. Also did not break a sweat this time but was kind of lagging/tired after each lift near the end.
