Today we had to run a mile for the first part of our workout. I was a little worried about it but only because of my back. It gets tight on these runs and it's ticking me off. As soon as those county benefits kick in I'm getting a physical for sure.
Anyway, we're trying to decide what to do. Either we run twice up the road to Market Street or do one long run down through the Mill Road industrial area. All the guys picked Mill Road, Kehau wanted to do it the hard way of course. She probably wanted to see if she could push some cars along the way, build up her strength cause she's so weak. Like only the third strongest chick in the world behind Corey Everson and Richard Simmons.
So we take off and I'm doing great running downhill. Then it evens out and Brad and Josh start catching up to me and Bumper. Soon everybody takes off ahead of me while I'm bogging. It wasn't my back, I was just out of breath. We run around the business loop then took off and headed back to the gym. At this point I'm way behind and those three are way up front. I get there finally and Bumper has a time of 6:03 and Brad and Josh were around 6:05 and 6:06 or something.
Bumper told me later he was trying to catch up to some of the cars that were passing him. That's how you know when you're the guy who owns the gym, when you have to compete against machines instead of other human beings because they suck so bad compared to you. Don't worry, I'll pass him one day. I just need a strategically placed bear trap. Josh I can distract with food and beer. Then it's just me and Brad and I can nudge him into traffic if I get close. Bwaahahahahahaha . . .
Kehau I won't have to worry about because SHE RAN THE TWO LAPS INSTEAD OF ONE route. I think her time was like 8:58. No, it was better than that but she came in way after the guys did. It's that uphill twice thing, it wears you out I think. Crazy girl.
Then it was time for the "real" workout. Thirty doubleunders, 20 kettlebell swings and 10 knee to elbows for four rounds. Yeedoggie. I said to hell with the doubleunders, I can't do 'em yet. So I did the alternative 90 singleunders which is still sorta hard. It was a tough workout and I beat Josh by one second. Okay, like half a second. But I still won.
You gotta take these victories when you can.
Also today is the official last day of Paleo. I know I already drank but I'm having an offical end of Paleo drink w/Josh at midnight. He's been solid on this thing and I think everybody should congratulate him. Anybody else want to try it? I'm game to do it again if you are.
