“Did some weight lifting at night.  Back to the old routine that I started some months ago.  I figure it'll be shock enough to my body to start it back up, preventing any plateaus.  We'll see.. Exercise: 3x8 Full body weights Equipment: Suunto T6c, barbell, weights, bench, weight vest (25lbs) Squats Dumbell Lunges Medium Bench Deadlifts Military Presses Barbell Curls Duration: 39min 30sec Lowest HR: 111 Average HR: 144 Highest HR: 170 Cals burned: 347 Suunto Training Effect: 2.4 (out of 5) Well, tried out the kaboat, and it's pretty awesome!  It was kind of awkward to row, so had to remove the bench seats on top of the tubes.  We had three people in there, which was fun. All the other boats in the lake had motors.  Oh well, at least we know we're getting more fit in the water!  I didn't bring my HRM :(, but I did bring my GPS to help get some stats like speed.  It was quite hard to row with three going against the wind, hence the low avg speed! Exercise: Rowing, Equipment: Kaboat SK 430, Garmin etrex VISTA Hcx Duration: 2hrs 23mins Cals burned: 614 (estimated by Mapmyfitness) Avg speed: 1.8mph Max speed: 5 mph Distance: 2.3 miles After packing the boat away, forgot the GPS was still on, so went home on the same track! So ignore the red line outside of the lake.  ”

“Well.  Stop running for over a month, then run 5 miles straight.  Maybe not the smartest thing in the world :).   It pretty warm today, about 80 degrees.  While I was running up the first hill my HR was already 186, and I thought.."Shit!"  Then as I made my way toward the top of the first hill, I was at 194 or so.  Apparently my Max HR is 192.  However, I got up to 200 today, although as you all know HRMs are not 100 percent acurate, but it sure felt like 200. After the first hill, nearly everytime I glanced back at my HRM it was 190, 193, 194, 195.   After I reached the docs, I walked in circles for about 5 minutes hoping my HR would go down, but only to 168!  It refused to go down any further.  So I ran back the other 2.5 miles, sure enough, within just a few minutes I was back in the 190's!  Then the nasty hills came, It's like I was walk running, but still jogging.  My HR has never gone this high as far as I remember, 199 at a glance, but the watch claims it went to 200.. Ugh. On top of that, there was lots of runners. I absolutely hate being passed, so I wanted to maintain a steady pace.  Luckily I wasn't passed.  But I felt my endurance was lacking.  Running is so hard!   Exercise: Trail running - Lake Chabot Equipment: Suunto T6c, Garmin etrex vista hCX Duration: 57:12 Lowest HR: 144 Average HR: 190     Highest HR: 200 Cals burned: 8222 Suunto Training Effect: 5.0 (out of 5) Time in zone(115-160): 01:00 Above zone(160+): 56:20 Below zone(115-): 00:00 Distance: 4.8 miles Average Speed: 5.5mph Max Speed: 8.10mph Total altitude: 575ft As you can see my HR didn't give in, ANY TIME at all.. It was quite the miserable run. Here's what the trail looks like.  It's actually pretty nice scenery, minus the huff puffs.. ”

“Did another weights.  3x18 seemed to have taken forever.  Still, it was a good workout.  The mosquitos were mad they couldn't touch my skin from the repellent.  So it worked well!  3x18 weights: Medium Bench Pullups Arnold Presses Preacher Curls Squats Deadlifts Duration: 61mins Lowest HR: 100 Average HR: 131 Highest HR: 175 Calories burned: 447 Suunto Training Effect: 2.6 (out of 5) Not much HR activity till the last two exercises (squats + deadlifts).  I really wanted to call it quits after the squats.  But I forced myself to finish! ”

“This is yesterday's workout.  I thought I could start off June on a good note.  Since during finals in May, there was a bit of a falling out with exercise.  Although two weeks is better than two months!  Anyways, here's the stats: 2x12 Weight lifting: Stiff leg deadlift, medium bench press, military presses, bicep curls, squats, and deadlifts Duration: 42 mins Lowest HR: 105 Average HR: 146 Max HR: 179 Calories burned: 295 Suunto Training Effect: 2.8 (out of 5) ”
