50 calorie airdyne
leg swings
hip stretches
Front Squats
8x135
6x155
5x185
5 sets
3x205 tempo
10x185
I threw that last set of 10 at 185 in there just for fun. I was starting to feel a little wobbly at the end. I think I'll take a pass on doing lots of reps in the front squat at the end of workouts. Last week was the first time that I can remember doing front squats and not being that sore a few days after. I'll go ahead and call that progress.
I went to home depot this morning to by some bricks. I am determined to make my backyard a no doggy escape zone. We already have all the spaces boarded up but she could still dig under the fence. So I'm getting about 150 bricks to cover up the dirt areas in front of the fence. We should have that wrapped up tomorrow.

Here We Go

I saw a video of a couple guys doing this and thought it would be fun. They did it in 7:30. Their burpees were weak though. Guess I have some room for improvement.
I just turned 40. To be honest, I don't feel any different now that than I did at age 35 or 29. Only thing I can remember being different at age 22 was that I could eat a heck of a lot more. I am itching for change.

Midnight Oil
7 minute walk
.5 mile run
5 sets
20 deficit pushups
10 side to sides
10 jumping side to sides
I decided to try out the aerobics room at the gym today since it was so hot outside. It was nice. I think I'll use that more often. I finished this in about 25 minutes today. I'm going to have to start actually timing it.
This project is a monster. I feel like I'm pushing a bus uphill. I doubt I'll be leaving before 9pm until Memorial Day.

Late Nighter
8 minute walk
1.75 mile run
30 burpees
Today was the day after leg day so I was supposed to do a 3 mile run. Unfortunately, I didn't have time for all 3 so I shortened it. Things are getting heavy at work right now. The company let a guy go for a security breach today. That was too bad. Good guy. It's almost 11 and I'm still here writing this. I forsee a lot more nights like this in the next few weeks. That being said I'm still not missing training days.
Got an email from my old friend Chris Harker a few days ago. He appears eager to reconnect with me. I agreed to meet up at some yet to be determined time and location. To be honest I have no idea what I plan to say to him. I have very little interest in rekindling any past friendships. Hell I barely have any current friendships.

Gettin into the Routine
5 minute walk
3 mile run
Got my DOMS buster out of the way today. I still feel pretty stiff today, but as I said before there is really no way around that when you are pushing yourself. It feels pretty good to hit it hard 4 days in a row. I'll do something a little easy tomorrow like abs or maybe just take a rest day.
Yesterday was pretty rough at work. There is nothing more annoying than having to convince people to do what you need them to do. This is what I remember when I go back to being a lighter for other people. Just shut up and do your job already!

DOMS Buster
10 minutes walking
Front Squats
10x135
6x155
5x185
10 sets
3x225
Leg day has been pretty tough for me the last month or so. It has consistently taken me almost a full week to recover from all the leg day soreness. I did some searching on Reddit and got a tip about doing some leg based cardio the day after leg day. So last week I did an easy 3 mile run the day after doing a ton of walking lunges and air squats. I was still sore the following day. Can't dodge those day after day after pains. However, I was pain free about 4 days after leg day. That's a great improvement. Today was leg day once again. I guess I'll be enjoying another 3 mile run tomorrow. Most likely while waiting on the alarm guy to show up in the morning.
