Basketball?

Played basketball on Monday, both full court & half court, with a wide range of people. For an hour and a half. I was soaked in sweat afterwards, but was able to play consistently (if poorly) without giving out. Used all our efforts to get in a little play. A successful venture.

A new 300

Thursday was very straight forward.

Back. Abs. Chest. Fast.

Three exercises. Ten sets of ten. Three hundred total reps.

Thursday Workout
Two-Arm Kettlebell Swings x 10 @ 35#
Myotatic Crunch x 10 (Bosu Ball)
Feet-Elevated Pushups x 10 (large Swiss Ball)
Two-Arm Kettlebell Swings x 10 @ 35#
Myotatic Crunch x 10 (Bosu Ball)
Feet-Elevated Pushups x 10 (large Swiss Ball)
1-minute break

and 4 more circuits of the same.

30 sets of 10.

Simple and effective.

The heavier kettlebell swing is working out well. We're familiar with it, but the true 'one pood' weight is definitely working our entire posterior chain without any lower back pain.

300 hundred reps in under 25 minutes did the trick. A proper workout.

Accomplishment Unlocked: 880

Moving forward with The Mile.

On Wednesday
Walked 220 yds
Ran 880 yds in 5:39
Walked 440 yds
Ran 440 yds under 3:00

This is the first 880 I've run on a track in, about, 20 years.

I did one on the road during the winter and it almost killed me. This one went much better.

I'll shrink the 440 walk until I can make a mile.

This is an irritating reminder that I still weigh over 265, am 46, and have never been able to run. I will make this Damn Mile however.
