Nice workout Jwmcc. Sound like you moved thru it a a good pace. Wall sits aka leg burners

10 x 24” box jumps
10 chin ups
20 sit ups
500m row

3 sets today. Easy stuff but I blew like Makybe Diva after the Melbourne Cup. This weather and flu is killing me. Felt today like Id been smoking a pack of ciggies everyday for 10 years

Thanks, pretty decent pace overall. I normally try to keep the rest periods down as low as possible especially with the pyrometrics(sp) stuff so my heart rate stays up. But towards the end of sets like that I slow the pace down to recover.

Yeah the second set of wall sits was brutal. The burn was so bad I did a light jog up and down the gym floor so I wouldn't cramp up.

Another day of laps in the pool. 70 minutes again. Very crowed at the pool had to share my lane, don't much care for that.

No gym again Monday. Finally getting over this flu

Back to gym Wednesday for a pretty light session

I survived Augusta IronMan 70.3 - at least two thirds of it (friend did the run). Swam downstream in the Savannah River in Augusta, GA. The river was dirty, deep and fast due to all of the rain in North Georgia so I set a PR for a 1.2 mile swim. Of course, I was still slower than everyone else. I am going to take some swim lessons this winter to figure out what the heck I am doing wrong. The 56 mile bike was long rolling hills - only one that I considered steep. We had almost 30 miles of head wind or cross/head wind. It was brutal. I'd much rather do hills than wind I think. My average for the 56 mile bike was 16.72 miles per hour or something like that. My friend who did the run for me is fast but is recovering from IronMan Louisville. But even with that she did the 13.1 mile run in 1:51.

So now back to the gym to get started on a real strengthening program. And try to get this damn stress fracture healed!

Spent the day on the cable machine doing one arm push/squats 18kg and one arm archers 21kg.

In between sets I was doing chin ups swings. Yep no actual chin just the swing. Trying to relearn my entire kipping process. Can be terribly frustrating

Finished with 10burpees/15 sit ups. 3 sets straight thru to test out the fitness. It hurt!!! :?

no bitching! :x haha!

i do this abs exercise with a 3kg ball and hold it on my sides whilst i sit on my butt with my legs crossed and slightly raised.. is there a technical term for this? i noticed by holding it for longer instead of right-left quickly, it hurts more..

not bitching :?

I'm still doing well. Eating extremely well (also helps I've totally lost my appetite haha). Not doing enough walking or jogging but still doing the sit ups, push ups and other exercises.

Fitting into clothes I haven't worn in years. I'm definitely the skinniest I've been a few years....and loving it!

That's exciting!

I think the ultrasounds are amazing because if you look at the baby's face later you can see their features even in the blurry pictures taken of them in the womb! :shock:

I am really sorry that you've been sick and had such a long recovery. However, I think we, as athletes, sometimes think we have lost more fitness than we have. I bet you will get it back rather quickly. Just make sure you don't push it too soon.

Did you have H1N1 by any chance? It is spreading quickly in our area. A lot of school kids sick with it.

Wednesday: walked 1 hour with wife (she took a sick day!)

Thursday: 60 minutes of lap swimming

Friday: 60 minutes of swimming.

Also reading Born to Run by Christopher McDougall and getting the itch to trail run again. I always thought those days were behind me but the desire to punish the body is back. We'll see, I just might take my Five Finger shoes out to a trail this weekend.
