Catch up

So to catch up...
I've been working out lately. Good thing too because GoRuck is coming up fast (Aug. 13) and I'll need some strength for that.

Murph: 1-mile, 100 pullups, 200 pushups, 300 squats, 1-mile

Murph was fun. I felt like I could fight Conan after I finished. However, I'd definitely lose that fight at this point. I finished in 37 minutes and change. My first mile was at about a 6 1/2 minute pace, yet the second mile was at about a 9 1/2 minute pace. In between the mile long sandwich I broke the calisthenics down into 20 sets. I did (5 pullups, 10 pushups, then 15 squats) x 20. I felt really good with that so next time I do it I'll have a 20 lb bag on my back.

500 situps, 1/2 mile lunge walk, 500 situps

This one I kind of made up. I read an article that suggested the Murph workout above and a lot of lunge walks. Thus, I created this workout which complemented the Murph workout by working my core and obviously included a lunge walk. This one took me about 45 minutes to complete. I didn't rest a whole lot with the situps so most of the time came from the lunge walk. As for the situps, I broke them down into sets of 50.

Next on my list:

Angie: 100 pullups, 100 pushups, 100 situps, 100 squats

I think I may break it down to doing 10 sets of 10 reps. Time, recap, and introduction to the next workout will be posted tomorrow hopefully.

Please, if you can. Compel me.
