Training Log Archive: Sandy

Just trying not to lose all the fitness I gained training for the rogaine.

Core DVD

Went axe throwing with the kids this afternoon. Who knew it was a thing!

And it was a blast! I probably got a little less than half of my throws to stick in the target but it was a lot more than I was expecting. Woohoo!

Event: 2019 Canadian Orienteering Championships
 

Hiked over to Chestnut Hill to do a little grocery shopping.

Class at the gym. Knees sore - guess I did a little too much jogging yesterday, a lot of it on pavement.

And some more yard work.

Event: DVOA Norristown State Hospital
 

Lots of weeding and cutting back dead stuff.

Sprint 1 at Norristown Hospital. Probably didn't take the best route 8-9 (went around on the road) although it was close.

Sprint 2. I was really tired and didn't jog as much as on the first one. I probably messed up on some micro-routes (went right of the building on 2 not seeing the hedge initially, went left of the building at 5 wanting to avoid going around the wall but that was probably shorter) but maybe only lost a couple seconds.

And that's it for the summer sprint series. I think we raised over $3000 for the Senior Team - I hope so at least. There will be a set of sprints at Nolde in August but they aren't part of the fundraiser.

They continue to be reasonably well attended with lots of the same people coming out but also some newcomers. I'm not sure if I want to "organize" it again - it's not really all that much organization, just lining up some event directors and making sure all the scheduling works out. Perhaps we should try a different evening, although I personally like Wednesdays. The events themselves are significantly less work to put on than a regular event so I was hoping the format would entice some new volunteers but I suppose weekday evenings are just not reasonable for many people.

Sprint 1 - Splits

Sprint 2 - Splits

Class at the gym plus the walk there and back. I finally made it through without having to put the weights down for anything.

Still working on making it through the plank/pushup challenge (10 count plank, 10 pushups, 10 count plank alternating legs out to the sides, then 8 of each, 6 of each, 4 and 2). Even with the pushups on my knees my arms give out somewhere in the 6's.

Felt like a workout so it's counting as training!
