I upped the weight on a few things, its amazing how much difference 10 lbs can make. I'm hurtin today.
Nice day today, I think I'm going for a run outdoors.

then 1 more of each to push myself. My endurance was crap and my pull up numbers suffered. But this is the first time I've ran outdoors in a while. Anyone who thinks its the same as a treadmill.................you're wrong. I had to slow to a walk a few times throughout the run. Endurance will come back in time.

legs are still a bit sore, haven't gotten used to the lunges again yet.
Sepultura provided the motivational soundtrack. I love the energy this music gives me.
Ran last night before the cub scout meeting.
My usual run of just under 5 miles in the cold. My endurance improved a little with more sustained running then last time. Also hit the pull up bar at the school.

then a struggle to get 1 more of each. The bar was quite cold.
I thought I'd add the importance of warming up and cooling down. My warm up is typically the peel offs, push ups, ankle raises, and some light shoulder movements. I do the power cleans when I'm doing the heavy bench presses as I have hurt my shoulders before when lifting heavy. The power cleans seem to alleviate that problem for me.
I also cool down with a variety of stretches and light core work i.e. planks, leg lifts. My whole routine takes me just over an hour.
