Walks and Jog

Lunch walk in mid-30s temp but it was fine enough with a coat and gloves and at least nice and dry out though cloudy.

In evening I walked 2.0 miles on treadmill while trying to defeat an uncooperative Solitaire hand. Then I jogged at 6.0 and 6.5mph for 1.25 then I cooled down for .25 still jogging til near the end when I ended it with a walk. Total Workout: 3.5 in 43:27 562cals 1%

I just realized I don't think I ever explained my "Lunch Walk" route and elevation - basically, the first part is up hill, the second part is down hill, the next bit is back up the hill, and the final part is flat.

A Chomping Wind

After a nice day indoors painting and re-arranging furniture, I finally took the time to appreciate the sunshine and 45 degree day. I put on my blue capris and shorts, a long-sleeve, and a t-shirt and then my bright green coat. I went outside and up the hill and into the strong wind which made me cold and made it hard to run and encouraged me to get off the hill. After that the wind came in phases - it was a chomping wind - occasionally biting and then backing off and I actually felt some warmth from the sun.

I curled my hands inside my long sleeves for much of the run and then eventually got warm enough to not have to ball my fists up tight. I ran along feeling pretty good and feeling happy to be outdoors in the moderate weather.

I did the 3 mile loop in 24:36.

Push-ups, Fall Downs

Warm up walking lap playing Solitaire and subjecting myself to pop music then I jogged at 6.0 then 6.5. I then stretched out and at 1.0 miles I started running at 7.0mph (8:34 pace). I did that for a mile. Then I stopped and did 20 push-ups and 10 15-lb kettlebell throws. Those push-ups were easy and quick and I did them without stopping. Then I ran half a mile at 7.5mph and did 20 more push-ups (the first 15 went down and up easy, the final 5 required a break before completing). Then I did individual arm kettlebell throws - 5 each. Then I ran .25 at 8.0mph; then did 20 push-ups where the first 10 were a struggle and the following 5 were harder and the final 5 were down "girl" style. I did 10 more kettlebell throws. Then I ran .25 at 8.5mph and did 10 push-ups with struggle and 10 more girl style, followed by individual arm kettlebell throws. I then pumped myself up to finish strong and ran .25 at 9.0 (6:40); followed by 10 strong push ups and 10 weaker ones (but at least not pathetic ones) and then finally another 10 kettlebell throws.

I then followed it up by hoping that arm pain I experienced was not a torn muscle, that my lower back burn was not a torn muscle, and with a glass of strawberry-chocolate milk.
