Today was a short sprint with a little skill work followed by a max effort
Not sure how I got out of the habit of updating this blog, but I am going to try to do better.
We are using Comptrain as our training program so I started to just use the app to record workouts. I will try to update here. For followers, sorry.
Today
3 miles/300 pushups
First time I have run in a while and due to my new stretching routine, I felt great. No injuries, and I won at 34;30. Not anywhere close to my best time on this course, which was 27:00 but Im getting the running back. I was just happy to finish. Moose also did well.
Back to Comptrain to get ready for the Games coming up.
Mathew Nuar’s Birthday
Mathew wore Jody’s Mom’s vest and beat us all to the stairs. Impressive. We caught him on the burpees and pushups on the darkest day I can ever remember doing the stairs. Compound that with it being overgrown and there was at least 1-2 minutes lost due to darkness and trees.
I finished in 3rd 31:36. Alan wins with 30:32 and Jim Levine 2nd in 31:10. Good group today. Some were wondering about the record with a vest. I did not find any results for that but did find this day where everyone was pretty fast including Mike Drew for the record. Kim Ray 2nd and my PR.
I felt pretty slow today, kind of like I was wearing a vest. I guess I am as my weight is higher than I would like. Im sitting at about 187 while I do my best at 174 or so. I am only 13 lbs over! That is almost a vest.

This is such a good workout. I have been feeling very tired lately so I backed it off to 135 today. Of course, now that the workout is over, I feel like a little bitch, but it is probably what my body needed. We had 62 burpees to do today as well so I did 2 sets of 10 and one set of 13 during the 1st part of the workout and then got in sets of 5 during the rest periods after the pushups.
135 is too light. 155 at the least and I really should be hitting 175 on this workout. There is plenty of time

Multistage Beep Test
We did the Beep test again today because I just repainted the whole driveway with Turner and Malynn. Good surface for running!
I measured 20 m but many thought it was longer than normal. The rules are that you only have to touch the line which might mean and extra round for some.
I did 9.2 along with Alan and Rusty was at 9.1. Later, josh came over and did 11.2 to show us all what some youth and soccer engine can do. That is the new record as Josh beat Mike Drew’s 10.10
We always use this video
