I Have Been Quiet About Trump Until Now....

I have been away from the blog for a little bit. The workouts have continued I just have been pretty darn busy.... back at it starting today.

I have been very quiet via blog regarding our new President. I just have decided that there is enough attention spent on the asshat-ery that is President Trump and the clowns that he has surrounded himself with. But today I had enough.... this guy puts out this great American vibe, brags about how good he was at baseball when he was kid and he cannot throw out the first pitch for Major League Baseball on opening day. Baseball.... "America's Past Time"?! Maybe he is afraid the ball will make his hands look small?

Workout:
Row, 5000m
AbMat Butterfly Sit-Up, 100 repetitions
Mobility:
Quadriceps Stretch
Hamstring Stretch

Have a Great Day!!

No UPS Means ACTIVE Rest Days!

I did not need to go in to handle packages at UPS and soon that will be a thing of the past all together! Woohoo! Only a few more 3:30am wake ups left! One thing that UPS did provide was 4-5 hours of heavy lifting and loading of packages, even on what I would consider a "rest day". So today instead of lifting or running a bunch, I hit the rowing machine and stretched.

Active Rest Day:
Row, 5000m
Mobility:
Quadriceps Stretch
Hamstring Stretch

Have a Great Day!!

Smoke Induced Cross Training

Today would have been my regularly scheduled short running day as part of my marathon training. However, some ass hat arsonist has made that not such a good idea. As you may know, we in the southeast have been dealing with a lot of smoke from wildfires burning in the region. We have had significant drought conditions for a long time as well... I can't remember the last time it rained?! Add to that some idiot lighting fires and you will have to find me in my basement on my Concept2 rowing machine!!

Workout:
Row, 5000m
Mobility:
Quadriceps Stretch
Hamstring Stretch

Have a Great and Hopefully Smoke-Free Day!!
