Well I had the pleasure of having a nice little 24 hour flu bug that really kicked my butt. My fever broke around 3 AM yesterday morning so I have been in recovery mode ever since. I didn't run yesterday and pretty much slept from the time I got home from the Academy until I had to go back to the Academy the next day. Even though I didn't run, I did get in my Academy workout which was killer called Tabata Ichi. Tabata being high intensity interval training (HIIT) and Ichi is Japanese for the number 8. How it went was this:
8 sets of push ups (20 seconds of push ups; 10 seconds of rest)
8 sets of mountain climbers (20 seconds of push ups; 10 seconds of rest)
8 sets of butterfly sit ups (20 seconds of push ups; 10 seconds of rest)
8 sets of squat thrusts (20 seconds of push ups; 10 seconds of rest)
We did this straight through, meaning no rest when we switched exercises. You had 10 seconds to switch from push ups to mountain climbers and so forth. I was DONE after doing this workout!! I just thought I would give you all a little taste of what we are doing for PT in the Academy. This morning I got in 6 miles. After tomorrow's PT I am headed over to the gym to re-calibrate my Nike+. I think it's off a little bit. Until next time...
STATS:
Weekly: 17.79 miles
Monthly: 62.94 miles
Yearly: 250.4 miles
Weight: 261 lbs
*ONLY 39 DAYS UNTIL MY PT TEST*
