So how could I top a day like yesterday?
I jogger 4 miles straight and did it in 49:43, that’s how. It felt great to job that long. I have not done that in forever. I was day dreaming about running the Army Ten Miler while jogging today. I did it nine years ago and averaged 10:15 a mile. I plan to do it next year and I hope to be close in time.
The rest of the day was great food wise. No eating out, everything was prepared from home (except for some Queso cheese left over from Moe’s Southwest grill), and I kept my calories to 2040 for the day. I even feel kinda full. Today’s fun activity was going to the National Zoo. We walked around for over an hour and had some lunch that we brought. We then walked around some more. I left earlier from my wife and friends so I could get to the gym and lift today. I felt like it was important to hit the weights. Here is what I did after 15 minutes of warm up on the elliptical machine.
Squats
95-10
135-8
185-5
225-3
135-8
Squats with 45 lb plate held to chest
10,10
Assisted pull-ups +135 lbs
5,5,5,5
Assisted dips +135 lbs
wide grip-5
narrow grip-8,8
Triceps cable curls( this feels much heavier than at the gym at work, I still maxed out the rack)
95-5
80-10
65-10
50-12
That did it for me, I was done. Tomorrow has the potential to be a cardio only day. I will go to the gym in the AM to get my hour in but we will be heading to Arlington National Cemetery to walk around. We might also go to Great Falls if time allows. This has the potential to be a 3-5 hour day of walking and hiking. That will serve as my afternoon workout.
