^great stuff. I unwittingly discovered it recently. I realized instead of running my usual course around the park it's great fun to zig-zag around randomly, through rough terrain, up hills and down stairs, sprinting and slowing down as I feel like it.

oh absolutely. it's so much easier to stay interested, and i also find myself running a little faster on my recoveries as i get warmed-up.

yesterday
--15 min warm-up
--45 min hard hill-bounding/striding
--15 min cool-down

today
--15 min warm-up
--8 x 100m sprints
--15 min cool-down

i'll be glad to get into anaerobic training (i think 400's on the track is my favorite workout), but i've definitely been noticing a lot of gains from the strength/speed work. so much of running is all the same, so a little variety goes a long way.
 
unfortunately i didn't get to do my regular workout, but i did do a nature walk for about 2 miles, which was a ton more fun than the regular!
 
yesterday:

20 min warm-up
65 min hill-bounding circuit
15 min cool-down

pretty rough workout after 9 hours on my feet (and 3 hours of sleep).

edit: today was a 30 min leg-turnover workout.

Two days ago I did a 3 mile run.

Last night it was riding my bike for transportation, I love speeding around town at night.

Woke up this morning and my body just feels hard! Today it'll be more bike transport, my town is super hilly so this will kind of suck.
 
5 set pyramid barbell bench press
3x8 db bench press
5 set pyramid incline barbell bench press
3x8 db incline bench press
3x12 db flys

4 supersets: (12 reps each exercise)

skull crushers
close grip bench press
barbell pullovers

10 mins elliptical
10 minutes rowing machine

mightve overdone it today
 
I worked out for hours last night. I don't even know what all I did, but I did a lot, at least 3 hours worth.

Then this morning I did 40 minute yoga session. There was heat and energy radiating off my hands. Good stuff. :D
 
Ever since my bike got a flat I've been running to the gym a mile away, doing some upper body weights, then running back. Although I have to admit, I'm really only running for maybe half the time, since I'm in really terrible shape. But, there's only one way to fix that...
 
Saweet

I finally got up off my ass today!! 8o

I started with some stretches... mainly my lower back. Then i moved onto some push ups, did about 30. Wooohoo 8o, what a workout for myself, but my wrist started to really hurt.. :\ oh well.

Then i did 3 sets of 30 sec leg lifts... or whatever they are called when you lay on your back and lift your legs about 6 in from the ground. I could feel that in my abs =D.

SMOKE BREAK :p.

Now its time for the sit ups. Wow its been a while and now its time. I ended up doing 10 and hardly making that. Felt great. Did that once more, this time it was way easier. Finished with some stretches and now I'm bragging to you folks. 8)

Thanks for all the Bluelight inspiration and motivation. I feel great now. Lets see if i can get myself to continue tomorrow. :|

Why no more?

Haha I'm sorry, but I get a kick out of people working to build up their cardiovascular capabilities in the gym, only to smoke cigs afterwards? It ain't like it's 1961, and people don't know any better 8( C'mon

On another note, almost every single marine I've ever met smoked, and they can run all day, so... But running is already a big enough pain in my ass to have to worry about wheezing and hacking up nasty shit.
