Bike Ride

After a full week of no real workouts, I got back on the horse tonight with a late evening bike ride. Mostly it was to test out my new (to me) bike that I got from Raph. Thanks Raph!! I'm not sure how much of a workout a 1/2 hour bike ride actually is, but I rode hard throughout and my butt's sore, so I guess it counts for something. Next time, I'm losing the toe clips and actually putting some air in the tires. Poco a poco...

Fathers' Day Sprints

It's Fathers' Day, and I'm not training for anything in particular, not looking to peak for anything special unless you count Wildwood, so I went out and ran what I like to run.

8:30 Run

10 x 100 yard Sprints on the HPHS football field
I set the timer at 1:45. Every time the alarm went off, I ran a sprint. The timer beeps for 10 seconds so that added a nice little incentive. In 10 seconds, I made it 80-85 yards on each one and ran each full 100 in roughly 12 seconds.

9:55 Run

Store Run

We needed some supplies from the store, so I strapped Jamie into the jogger and ran into town. As a product of suburbia, I'm still new to the idea of getting places under your own power. It's definitely one of the things I'll miss about living in this town. After running into town and back, I threw in 100 x push-ups, 100 x crunches, & 100 x squats.

MCUDL A League

It was back to Mercer once again for another battle with the Mudsharks. I got there nice and early and did some running, active stretching, and agility work on the agility rings (Thanks Vlad!). After that we took on the Sharks in a rather one-sided game in which I think we had maybe 4 turn-overs, tops. Stick was looking strong and confident and quickly took the win 15-2.

Baby Joggin'

Jamie and I went out for some fresh air before the US-UK game. We ran for a little over 25', then stopped at the park for a breather and walked around for another 25' before finally heading home to catch the match. Turns out, 20' is about the limit of my calf strength at this point. After that, it was difficult for me to maintain proper form and, after 5' of letting my ego take over, I opted to walk the rest of the way. I'm slowly developing the musculature to handle forefoot striking, but I'm not quite there yet.

Nightrunning

After a long afternoon of working on the house, I decided to go for a run to clear my mind and get some fresh air. It was a beautifully cool and breezy night and the humidity seemed to have vanished... reminded me of upstate NY almost. Since the neighborhood's sidewalks are uneven and unlighted, I opted to run down the main streets instead to New Brunswick and back.

11:41 from my doorstep to midpoint of Albany Street bridge (downhill/downwind)
:30 to enjoy the view, which sucked due to all the street lights and headlights
11:35 back (uphill/upwind)

cooled down with a walk around the block

Not as good as nightswimming, but nothing to sneer about.

MCUDL A League

Tonight, Stick squared off against Rutgers. My legs were a bit heavy from yesterday's WoD and I felt slow as shit, but fortunately my teammates picked me up and we cruised to a comfortable victory. Afterwards, Dusty done laid me low with some Angel's Share (ale aged in oak barrels, one whiskey, one brandy) and some Rochefort 6.
