I am doing 60’s in pre’s right now so I think I can take a little breather for now.  Pretty cool workout today.   Final Total Abs today is another repeat “Power Plant”.  I did the level 3 on this for the first time and did not have any problem at all.  It included regular, elbow, raised, side for a 60 sec per duration.   Foundation, is called “Flutter Kick” – 100 in total.  I will have to turn these up or I will be forced to add another exercise.  I am trying to stay disciplined but I might not be able to hold out.   DD was not posted in the right place today, but I found it and was the first on the list.  No issues with the Boat Pose Hold at all.   Pre’s were no issues either.  No pains to really complain about; just a slight in my lower back – right side.  Added  7.60 mi to my total on my way to Boise.  The future is mine to make!  Ciao!

Daily Dares : 30 Half Shrimp Squats
Summary: Pretty cool workout today.  Trying to blend two lower level exercises is a bit tricky but fun nonetheless.  Total Abs today is just a repeat of the “Circuit” of a few day ago – see here.  I found the raised leg circles a bit easy this time around.  I was struggling the last time.   Foundation, is called “Fast Pace Cardio”.  It was pretty close to day 1, but a little different.  It included 3 types of jacks, two  (cross step and step twist) that I have never done; but all around it was really fun.  DD was the infamous half shrimp squat – this is an ass kick, but I made it harder than I should.  I was trying to do full shrimp, as opposed to half.  I didn’t realize until I went in to make my log entry that I realized it should have been half.  No worries tho, they were fun.  Pre’s were all good.  It dragged on a bit because I forgot to do squats and planks.  Added  6.13 mi to my total on my way to Boise.  My journey began inside!  Ciao!

DAY 4/28 [OCT 4] – Day 183 of 200
Distance: 17.41 + 6.40 = 23.81 (LA-OK-ID Run: 1341.43)
Cardio (Mixed: Road/Steps): 6.40 @ 91.00 min (Back on the Road again)
Daily Dares : 60 Sec Squats
Summary: Not a bad workout – was planning to finish early, like in the morning, but life just knocked me on my but.  At any rate, Total Abs today is called “Lower Back”.  I think it is a repeat, but I can’t say so for sure.  It included lower back curls, supermans and bridges.  Not a bad sequence, I ended up doing along with the Foundation cycle.  Foundation, is called “Stretching”.  It includes – back stretches, alt arm and leg raises, bridges and knee rolls.  The reps were pretty low so I included it with TA into combined sets.  DD was pretty cool.  I was able to manage about 41 in the time, but have done a tremendous amount of squats in recent days, I just didn’t have the energy today.  I loved it tho.  No issues with pre’s – just bizniz as usual.  Added  6.41 mi to my total on my way to Boise.  I will go up to where I belong!  Ciao!

DAY 3/27 [OCT 3] – Day 182 of 200
Distance: 11.00 + 6.41 = 17.41 (LA-OK-ID Run: 1335.03)
Cardio (Mixed: Road/Steps): 6.41 @ 91.00 min (Back on the Road again)
Daily Dares : 60 Sec Tucked in Side Plank
Summary: First day on the change over felt pretty good.  For some reason, it feels a bit different – maybe it is the Fall.  Total Abs today is a repeat called “Flutter Kicks”, nothing to it beyond a whole bunch of flutter kicks – 600 to be exact.  Foundation, is called “Fighter”.  It includes jabs + crosses, low front kicks, overhead punches, and knee strikes.  At the pace at which this is going, I will definitely have to add something else to it.  Actually with the increase to 60s on pre’s that might not be too back tho.  I will see. DD was a first for me, but I rather enjoyed it.  In fact I had to start over once – good to practice balancing.  Pre’s were pretty cool today – knocking out 60 pushups at a go, is pretty exciting.  Can’t wait to do that routinely.  Added  6.41 mi to my total on my way to Boise.  Being focus is being alive!  Ciao!

DAY 2/26 [OCT 2] – Day 181 of 200
Distance: 5.50 + 5.50 = 11.00 (LA-OK-ID Run: 1328.62)
Cardio (Mixed: Road/Steps): 11.00 @ 78.00 min (Back on the Road again)
Daily Dares : 50 Plank Leg Raises
Summary: First day on the change over felt pretty good.  For some reason, it feels a bit different – maybe it is the Fall.  At any rate – Total Abs today is called “Action Plank”, can’t say this was a repeat.  Much of what is consist of I have done over the past 25 days, but today was different enough to take note.  It included – plank arm and leg raise, side planks and up and down planks.  Foundation, so on day 2 it was still pretty easy.  Upped it to level 2.  This included – a series of lunges, step back and step ups, lunge step ups followed by a series of arm raises, circles and hold.  All in all not too bad workout day.  DD was not too bad, but given the TA requirement, it added an element of challenge to it.  Pre’s got ratcheted up a bit to 60s.  No issues today.   Added  5.50 mi to my total on my way to Boise.  It is never easy being great!  Ciao!

DAY 1/25 [OCT 1] – Day 180 of 200
Distance: 0.0 + 5.50 = 5.50 (LA-OK-ID Run: 1323.12)
Cardio (Mixed: Treadmill/Steps): 5.50 @ 78.00 min (On the treadmill again)
Daily Dares : 20 Dragon Push Ups
Summary: Awesome close out workout for Spartan Trials.  Aunt Edna is back home.  Total Abs today is called “2 min Abs”, this was not a repeat, at least not that I can remember.  I found it annoying.  I had to switch to 6 different exercises every 20 sec for a total of 2 mins.  I was supposed to do this 2x, one in the morn and one in the evening.  However, I ended up doing 20 reps per exercise, twice at one session.  It might be off, but I think I got more of a burn in, so I am not losing anything here or cheating.  Foundation , this is the new addition to the regime and relatively tame and simple – it is called “Fast Paced Cardio”.  I will give this a few days and see if I have to add another one to it once Total Abs is finished. It includes a bunch of different Jacks – step, side and march, that I have never heard of and rounded out with slide leg raises, that I am intimately familiar with.  DD was not too easy, but since my push up is in good shape, I had no issues (1st of the block on this – 1OB).  No issues with pre’s I have upped it to 60 per/per session.  Added  5.50 mi to my total on my way to Boise.  It is never easy being great!  Ciao!
