Day Five, Workout #3

So no update or workout yesterday as I had to change up my schedule (Thurs to Fri) so I could attend the Of Course Golf premier in San Francisco last night; http://ofcoursegolf.com/

Today I feel pretty good. soreness is subsiding eating is on par. No alcohol or chips...my vice!

So today, here comes the rain. Weather better suited for beers and a hottub but being committed, Anthony and I both said rain or shine when we started. Raining hard, blowing hard yet here I go to the track. At least I brought an umbrella for Anthony; didn't work in softening him up to take it easy on me.

The workout was fun, hard yes but fun. We did the normal warm ups with laps and then got into it. What made it fun was doing ladder work. I like that thing, not sure why. It is a great training aid for quickness and agility. We mixed in running laps with skipping rope with the ladder. We worked in upper body at the end with rubber band resistance. All with intense intervals! To the point that I was nearly out of breath often. Anthony would not back off until he knew I was on the verge. I would guess that being worked by a trainer produces 35-40% effort. This requires a very good trainer and one that you trust and who motivates you; I get all that from Anthony.

In all, it was a great workout; I was pushed, it was hard and intense...I like that. Fun too in the rain and wind because, like the fat guy on Wednesday, I am way better than most for having done it!

Pretty good set of workouts for week one as well. All progressively harder and more intense. I was reflecting back to 6 years ago and how absolutely intense our workouts were. I know, I know I was in amazing shape but still hard to imagine doing that now. But I'll get there in a few months.

The hottub minus beers did come into play tonight....ahhh wonderful.

Weight in day is Monday. I'll step on and report out. I doubt I'll do pictures for week one but who knows I might surprise you all. A small insight, I have already lost over 10% of my goal of losing 42lbs after 4 days. Might have to set the bar higher. Granted now that I said that, I'm jinxed and will gain weight over the weekend lol. We'll see...until then, have a great weekend.
