Week 2, Day 5, Thursday 2/7/13 (12 of 12 days in a row....)

35 minutes cardio - treadmill this morning - constant rate but maxed out platform elevation.

3+ hours cardio tonight (shoveling, not counting time in the seat of the plow truck) - we got every bit of the 8"+ of the wet, heavy snow! Started plowing/shoveling at 6:00 p.m. and it's now 10:45 p.m. Hardest part is the retired neighbor's path from the house to the barn. . . but they've gotta get to their horse and chickens!!! Only problem is this is now 2 nights without lifting weights. . . Waaay too trashed to even think about that, but tomorrow's another day!

Week 2, Friday, 4th day of Cardio

4 mile run, my path was covered with refrozen slush, easy to sprain an ankle or worse, hopefully will melt a bit for tomorrow's workout

One hour of aerobic snow removal activities.  (We had 12 inches of wet, heavy snow yesterday afternoon and evening.  Even with a snowblower, there was a lot to do by hand here at our house and half a mile away at my son's  house.

Kurt, glad to see you got the snow you were hoping for! So what then, playing a little hooky from work today?!
Posted 2/8/2013 7:42 PM (GMT 0)
Had my annual physical this morning at 10:30am, so had a little bit of extra time this morning at home.  Back in VH now...

Everything checked-out well with my internist (including my undetectable PSA, which was part of the blood work I had done in advance of the exam and I reported on here about a week ago).

Casey,
Thanks for the credit. Today was 6 minutes on the spin bike-recovery ride.

Week2 friday day 4
1 hour continuous, steady mdt to hard pace on concept 2 rowing machine. Thence a smoke break, er ah, thence a short break to 90minutes of intense weight, balance, floor, core workout.
I like 2 days off a week, may incorporate into my tng. I have less muscle aches and less need for oil can. Plus Iam stronger on the days I do workout. Also just thinking of maybe 3 on hard and long, 1 off, in a continuous sequence. The surf has bee n junk recently ceptin for the n shore, which is beyond my skill level. this will be done whenever it is available wx wise and still do the rest of schedule.

Calling for over a foot of snow tomorrow... I'll make up for going out.

Week 2, Day 6, Friday 2/8/13 (13 of 13 days in a row....)

35 minutes cardio - treadmill this morning - constant rate but maxed out platform elevation.

45 minutes lifting weights - tonight was biceps and triceps. 8 total lifts, 3 sets each, 10-15 reps per set.

Whoa, this is interesting, back to back entries! Where is everybody? (:

Week 2, Day 7, Saturday 2/9/13 (14 of 14 days in a row....)

40 minutes cardio - treadmill this morning - constant rate but maxed out platform elevation.

45 minutes lifting weights - did this right after cardio this morning; today was "shoulders and traps." 7 total lifts, 3 sets each, 12 reps per set.

After breakfast I've still got to go out and clean up the mess from the 10" of snow we got Thursday night. Lots easier to do that when it's daylight.

On a related note I hope all the brothers and sisters out East have weathered "Nemo" o.k.!

7.2 mile run, finally a bit of sunshine after days of gray, snow and rain
