Throw back

This was an old school workout. By that I mean I used to do these dreaded things in high school. What is that you ask? Well, I am speaking about a workout none other than HILL REPEATS. ::gasp:: Yeah, you heard me right. Hill. Repeats. Today's high was 75 but it felt pretty toasty in the late afternoon sunshine.

I did 6 sprint hill repeats, jogging down the hill between each climb. The work out took 30 minutes total, including the warm-up run to the hill as well as the cool down jog back home.

Some fellow college kids were drinking on the front porch of one of the houses located on the hill. When they realized I kept returning for more punishment, they cheered for me a couple times. :D

Happy weekend y'all!

pretty rad day

Today I wore my graduation robe (or academic regalia if you wanna sound pretentious) for convocation. Felt WEIRD, you guys, but also like I was some important sorcerer. Either way, I left convocation feeling inspired (you did a great job panelists!) and wanted a nice workout on this high 70s day. So I went down to the track and did 10x200m sprints.

It went something like this:

2 rounds of:
5x200m (100m jog in between)
75 sit ups/crunches/ab exercise of some kind
20 push ups

Twas a great workout, and I ran 3 miles in total including my cool down, which I needed after such a hot day :)
