9Round 32:00 [5]
ahr:119 max:141
My avg HR was more than 119. In the middle of the workout, the HRM stopped working for about 4 minutes. Probably because I was sweating so hard it couldn't make contact. They had some good tunes today, and it pumped me up. Then I met Mary Ann and we had our annual mid-winter spa day--massage and mani-pedi packages from Christmas. The waterless pedicures are really relaxing, but I was still so pumped up from my workout that it was hard for me to relax. Now I feel great.

I deviated slightly on Round 6. Luke had me spar with him for about half the round.

9Round 32:00 [4]
ahr:124 max:139
Today was like a 4.5. We had pushup-T's with dumbbells on Round 2, and ended up with pushup position with feet on a stability ball, pushing it in and out. In between was also challenging.
4 PM
Workout 1:00:00 [3]
Workout with Jared. We did several back exercises we hadn't done before, and I could feel it. Probably good, since my sacromiliac hurts a little sometimes. I also think my arms will be sore tomorrow.

9Round 32:00 [4]
ahr:124 max:138
An aerobic workout today. Lots of squat things.
4 PM
Yoga 1:20:00 [1]
A low key session tonight, with focus on breathing and letting go, two things I need to strive for.

Orienteering 1:20:00 [2]
Picked up controls after last night's rogaine at Knob Noster. Then we went to Warrensburg for lunch.

9Round 32:00 [4]
ahr:120 max:133
Burpee Friday. Busy gym today. Seems like some of the moves (e.g. up-downs) are getting a lot easier.
2 PM
Dog Walking 37:00 [3] 2.0 mi (18:30 / mi)
shoes: INOV8 TrailRoc 235
After recycling, took Elray to Riverfront Park. We went to the treatment plant and back and did quite a bit of slogging. Really nice day.

9Round 32:00 [4]
ahr:121 max:135
A different time of day. I did well in this week's challenge, increasing each day. The last round was terrible--Star V-ups for 3 minutes.

9Round 32:00 [4]
ahr:121 max:140
Pretty tough workout today. The last round was holding plank position for three minutes. This was the second time we did this, and I think it was a little easier for me. I focused on my yoga breathing.
3 PM
Workout 1:00:00 [4]
Weekly workout with Jared. It seemed pretty tough tonight--I did all the agility drills holding a medicine ball over my head. Also I had a lot of trouble doing curls on one foot which was on a balance pad. That might have been because I went to the eye doctor today, and I'm still seeing things funny. Then we finished off with three trips up and back with the sled.

9Round 32:00 [4]
ahr:119 max:140
Today was a really hard workout. Lots of legs. I started on Round 9 in pushup position with my feet on an exercise ball. It was a pushup, then pulling knees to chest with the ball and back out. Sets of 12. I didn't think I could do this, but ended up doing 4 sets. Wow!
5 PM
Yoga 1:20:00 [2]
Tonight I tried Vinyasa Flow. Not quite as vigorous as the Hatha, but we did super amounts of different hip stretching which made it challenging. Also good was the emphasis on breathing.

9Round 32:00 [4]
ahr:107 max:132
Didn't get my HR up nearly as much as usual, but several new plank variations were challenging. At the last station, we were supposed to stay in a V shape while holding weights out to the side for 3 minutes. Yes, I did take a few rest breaks from the hold during the very long three minutes.

Orienteering 1:45:00 [3] *** 4.5 km (23:20 / km)
spiked:9/10c shoes: INOV8 TrailRoc 235
Did the orange course at Hodge Park with Elray, who was sometimes not as cooperative as she could have been. Moved the first control about 10 feet onto a different feature to avoid having a problem with errant golf balls. Also, one flag was missing on the course. Hope this is not a continuing problem. I also found another trail and another fence to map in. Beautiful day for early February.

9Round 32:00 [4]
I didn't have my HRM on, but it seemed like the usual effort. No new moves, just variations of stuff we've done before.
11 AM
Orienteering 48:00 [2] * 1.5 km (32:00 / km)
spiked:12/12c shoes: INOV8 TrailRoc 235
Multi-tasking the White course at Hodge Park with walking the Elray. I made a couple of minor changes to the map, and checked out the start/finish venue. I also noted where I will need to bring posts to hang the flags. I will need 6, plus one control with a long string.
I purposely stayed off the dirt trails, and in the open, because of all the snow melt and mud, but it was still really mooshey.

Dog Walking 23:00 [3] 1.4 mi (16:26 / mi)
shoes: INOV8 TrailRoc 235
After recycling, took Elray to Riverside Park and walked from the tennis courts to the road. We did some running, and she got to roll around in the snow. After spending several days inside because of bad weather, it was great to get out in the sunshine.
9 AM
9Round 32:00 [4]
ahr:115 max:135
Burpee Friday. Felt harder than my HRM would indicate. I held plank position for a minute at the last round, and it seemed pretty easy.

9Round 32:00 [4]
ahr:110 max:170
From my heart rate, it looked like a much easier workout, but it didn't feel all that easy.

9Round 32:00 [4]
ahr:127 max:146
Very busy at the gym today. Channel 5 was there, and all the trainers except for David. Got in a good workout.
3 PM
Workout 1:00:00 [4]
Weekly workout with Jared, and it was a major sweat session. My arms are sore right now, and I also got to push the sled up and back four times at the end of the workout. I was wearing my HRM, and it will be interesting to see tomorrow how much my HR went up during sled-pushing.

9Round 32:00 [5]
ahr:122 max:162
I thought it was a hard workout today, and my HRM reset itself higher. We had a challenge--one squat, one pushup, two squats, etc. for 3 minutes. I made it up to 13 on the squats and 12 on the pushups.

9Round 32:00 [4]
ahr:114 max:134
Good whittle your middle Monday workout.
After the workout, I bundled up and took ElRay to the doggie park. She hadn't had much activity for two days, but she ran and chased balls, and played with a Blue Heeler. Normally I would run up and down some of the hills with her, but today I was content to stay mostly still and bundled up like the Michelin Man.
