weights and spinning

barbell military press 8, 6, 4, 2, 1 @ 95, 100, 105, 110, 115
upright rows 8, 8, 6, 6 @ 40, 50, 60, 70
barbell shrugs 10, 8, 8, 6 @ 70, 70, 80, 80

10 minutes of walking

13 minutes of fartlek spinning.

The military presses were harder to complete today because I increased my starting workload and finished using more muscle fibers more often.

The spinning was absolutely hard. I wasn't about to have a coronary or anything like that, but I was burning 30 calories a minute and maybe more. That's about 2 Watts, and I have no idea how many MET's that is. It was really designed to be a lactic acid test to train the muscles to almost failure, and I'd have to say it did a splendid job in that regards.

Sunday

Last night I ran 1 mile and this morning I ran 1 mile and walked 1 mile. Later I need to lift weights at the gym. I really need to do well on the PRT for running, and considering I haven't had any running regimen in 4 years, this could be tough.

Cycling

I went cycling today out at Walnut Creek for 17.7 miles in one hour 4 minutes, and then came back home to bike 4 more miles as a warm down for a total mileage of 21.7.  At Walnut Creek, my average speed was 17 MPH with a max speed of 24.6 MPH, and I burned off 1,120 calories which results in me feeling like I have an empty pit where my stomach used to be. To lunch I venture!

biking

Today I did 7 miles on my mountain bike. Too bad it needs a new rear innertube or else I would've done faster than a 13 mph pace without my legs burning. But it was pretty neat to bike through my neighborhood down to the creek, since I saw three does that frequent the area, grazing.
