Getting back on track on my running this week. 55.4 miles logged and that's even taking a day off this week. Got in some good hill work on a couple of those workouts as well. Been listening to an audio book and it has me looking forward to my runs a little more than I normally would. Made my 3 hour long run on Saturday go by pretty quick. Just 1 hour left to find out how it all ends.
Npaden, that is a lot of miles! I am happy with two per week over 5 miles and 2 weight sessions. This was tonight's, 5 minute walking warm up, then 1.5 miles running, half mile walking for the duration of the workout. Next run will be for straight distance.

Signed up for the gym today. Going to try and add some weights along with my pack and boot hikes. Hopefully I can get on a routine.

Hit the back hard tonight after doing a sprinkler install all day. Started with deadlifts, ended with hanging leg raises for the core and face pulls to improve my archery muscles.

well, I thought I had figured out the exercise ap on my phone. I set out last night for a run, ready to record it as others do. Well, I must have hit a button or something, cause it showed my run only being 16 seconds long and a gingerly clip of 4.7 mph......oh well.

Did my pre-dawn Hike this morning and it was very humid out. Been doing a 70 lb pack at around 18.30 minute a mile for 4 miles but not this morning. This morning it was 19.41 average per mile with the 70lb pack. As fast as I put the water in it was sweat out. Felt like I was in a swimming pool!! All I can say is " Dont quit and press on! "
Last night's workout was 5 rounds of:
DB Bench
Close grip Press
Pull Overs
Throw Downs
Tricep Ext.
DB Squats
Curls
Sledge Hammer and tire
The workouts aren't necessarily getting easier, but I am able to push it a little faster to finish with good form.

Finished with bicepts
3 X 28 Curls , 7 fast, 7 slow, 7 top 1/2, 7 bottom 1/2 - done 3 times

Barbell shoulder press

Finished with a shoulder burnout : use bench press plates and do front straight arm extensions, 10 reps with no rest between weights, with every plate 5lb, 10lb,25,35,45, rest 15 seconds, then do the same going down in weight 45,35,25,10,5. This is a great burnout on the shoulders. Go to the trash can and puke.(optional).

Need to put this saying on a shirt
" UNLESS YOU PUKE,
FAINT, OR DIE FROM EXHAUSTION YOU MUST KEEP CLIMBING AND HUNTING! "

Shin splints are killing me. Guess it's time to switch it up a bit. Maybe try doing more strength training and work on another form of cardio.

When I was in Iowa a couple of weeks ago I felt like I was breathing water while I ran it was so humid. Really flat though there too!

People here in Colorado have been telling me I should've left this wet, humid weather back in Iowa!
Pushed the distance up this morning with some interval running.Tomorrow is a weight day and then Monday will be straight distance. I am going to start setting time goals for distances now that I have some distance built. Any of you veteran runners have pace advice for 6 miles straight?
