Training Log: Entry 3568

AM WOROUT (0355 wake up via alarm, rough night of sleep due to storms)

*Tactical Barbell Operator* Cycle 2, Week 4, Workout 4

“GO RUCK YOURSELF”

Treadmill walk w/45lb vest

Time: 90 minutes

Incline: 5.0 (12.0 for final minute)

Speed: 3.5

Distance: 5.25 miles

Notes:

* Overcoming my instincts here and trying NOT to become the best rucker of all time with this workout.  Just letting it be low intensity and restorative.  Kept everything the same from last week, minus that final minute at a high incline.  Just a final little challenge there.  

* Weather has been sweltering, even inside with AC.  In turn, I weighed in at 79.8kg post workout, with a lot of it being sweat I’m sure, but it’s why I weigh myself Mondays and Thursdays to get an idea of where I am at my heaviest and lightest.  The definition diet is still working, and I’ve been eating a LOT of beef ribs this week, so that’s pretty awesome.

* On that note, walking to a grocery store during my lunch breaks might not be the best thing for me, as 2 days ago I bought that rack of beef ribs, and yesterday I bought 4 corned beefs and 6lbs of rib fingers.  The corned beefs were on manager discount: $3.89 a pound.  Couldn’t pass up the deal.  I’m going to be in a good place when it comes to time to gain, as I’ve now got a freezer full of lamb legs and corned beef to slice into steaks.  The rib fingers will be breakfast next week.

* Tang Soo Do wasn’t quite was active yesterday, due to very intense heat in the dojang.  Still got in some activity.  Will be going again tonight as well.  Beforehand, Valkyrie and I got in a 3 mile walk in the VERY hot/humid sun.  It’s beating us down pretty good, and my calves are cramping from dehydration.
