First Race of the year.....


Who had the worst 5K time in his career yet podiumed for the first time ever?  This guy!    Maybe I should suck more often!  Seriously though, this was literally my second outside run of the year with a 1.5 mile run the day before.  I knew my time was going to be bad and I used this as my gauge to see where I need to be once the season is fully in gear.  I have a series of 5K's coming up in May that will hopefully buildmy base and my race preparedness for my first Duathlon I want to do at the end of May.

Weight Day in the Gym!

Had a good workout today hitting the large major muscles.  At this time of the year we are focusing on more endurance so our weight days are shorter and fewer.  I started out doing Smith Bench.  I did 4 sets and hit 110 pounds o my last set at 3 reps.  Next I did Narrow Lat pulldowns to work my back and tris.  I did 4 sets and hit 110 pounds as well on my last set for 5 reps.  Then finished up on Leg press...I was excited to do these since legs are always my strong area.  I did 5 sets and on my last set I PR'd doing 630 pounds at 3 reps!!!!!  SO EXCITED!
