    Ok. I'll jump in on this because I do need some butt-kicking.

    Cardio: Arc Trainer - Hill Interval Level 5 -(345 cals)

    Strength: Bi's: DB Curls: standing, seated (incline), preacher, concentration, wrist curls. 10, 8, 6

    Food/Drink: Not that great yesterday. Too much wine which led to bad dinner choice.

    Welcome! :flowerforyou: Having to post to this thread has really helped me stay motivated.:smile:

    Holy crap! I don't even drive that far to work! You rock!

    Thanks, niner! Still can't believe I ran that far. And next week I'm doing either 11.5 or 12.

    Okay, I'm in. I've been reading for months, and don't post, but I just read almost this entire thread. I love it. Today for me:

    Cardio: 3 short sets on the dreaded Jacob's ladder - total time 24 mins.

    In between 8 min sets:

    Strength: Deadlift. 2 sets of 5 x 135. Finished with 3 x 155lbs.

    Push press: 2 sets of 5 x 85lbs. Finished with 3 x 95lbs (a PR for me)

    Total calorie burn according to my HRM was 485.

    A good day indeed.

    Happy Monday!

    Cardio: 3.5 mile trail run. 45 minutes. Seem to have a new running partner. Friend has been tagging along on some of my runs, even though she's not training for any races. Been good to have some company again and someone to talk to about running.

    That's good brandi! I do notice that running is much "faster" when my DW runs with me.

    Good day today, struggling through an injury I got at the gym last Monday, so I've had to scale back workouts. Went to my favourite place today, the Crossfit box.

    5 rounds of:

    15 box jumps (step ups for me - foot injury)
    12 hang power snatch at 45lbs
    9 pushups and
    6 toes to bar. I still can't do these, managed to do high knee pulls.

    Also, 3-3-3-3 deadlift at 145.

    Loved this workout. It kicked my *kitten*.

    Happy Monday!!

    Good job, both of you!

    Cardio: 3 mile run. Started as a trail run, but mud and darkness forced me on to pavement for the last mile. Even with a headlamp, not sure I'm going to want to run on trails at night. Might be back on the jogging track for a few months.

    Tuesday's report.

    Legs in the morning, weighted lunges, front squats, hamstring curls, calf raises. Pushed really hard and was starting to stiffen up by the end of the work day, so I hit the gym for the evening class, which is usually a circuit type deal, to loosen the muscles up.

    Multiple rounds of burpees, jump squats, battle ropes, sprints etc. Felt good, but damn are my legs sore today!

    Overall, a great workout day.
