    Did leg pressed, squats, lunges, steps and hills on Sunday...yeah still feeling it today.

    The hotel I'm at has a racquetball court, I'm gonna see if I can find a game tomorrow morning for some cardio... Just to mix it up.

    I do not have a name for these. Maybe, "That's what she said sprints," because every time I finish one of the sprints I think to myself, "again, faster."

    Ran 5 miles in 40:52 this morning. Had to skip the pull ups and push ups to prepare for a meeting. Hoping to get those in this afternoon.

    Edit: Did 50 Pull Ups and 50 Push Ups in the afternoon.

    Did the treadmill this morning for 50 minutes.

    Upgraded to 1st class on the flights home and the gin and tonics may have undermined my workout.

    It is like running a sprint then walking...over and over. The sprints got my heart rate up over 180. Thermal meltdown at that pt for me. Haha. But I did pull myself together and worked out another 30 min.

    Thought this up to start today's workout.

    Rapid fire.. .50 lb dumbells rows followed by pushups.

    Started at 10 rows then 20 pushups...9 rows then 18 pushups. All the way down to 5 rows and ten pushups. Took me 3.5 minutes to complete 90 pushups and 45 dumbbell rows. Conditioning felt fine...only failure down the stretch was my last 2 sets of pushups. Just had to rest 5 to 10 secs here and there to complete. Finished rest of workout then will do a ruck walk tonight.

    Back has tightened up real good the last 2 weeks. Wasn't going to workout today but from previous experience, I have to keep moving or my muscle will tighten up worse. Dang 90 degrees and just finished a 3 mile walk and run. Time for some ice.

    Planks and side planks are your friends.

    I've included planks for a long time but not side planks. I'll start those tonight.

    Those big muscles that run the length of your spine. Right in the middle of my back....complete lockdown. Push my finger on it hard and it hurts like crud. Like a 2 to 3 inch section.
