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.
