Workout 01/22/2009
Spent an hour working with a kettlebell trainer in my home shop man-cave gym.
New move learned today was the windmill, an insidious little trunk-twister that works the oblique abdominal muscles. Between that and the kettlebell rows he had me do, the back was feeling quite fatigued!
I took today off, and just did some stretching to keep from getting too tight. Saturday I’m scheduled for a thorough ass-kicking at Hocevar Performance. 9 a.m.
I have booked us to fly to Palm Springs for the bike ride over Valentine’s Day weekend. I’m lighter (by a little, anyway) and starting to re-shape a bit, but I have almost no saddle time on the bike. I’m planning on bringing the bike for the Tour de Palm Springs, but not so sure about the whole 100 miles.
A very good friend of mine is traveling that same weekend to Austin Texas for some kind of marathon/iron man/iron maiden whatever. I love cycling, grew up swimming the beaches of Southern California, but running is my kryptonite. No thanks. She’s a hell of a competitor, though, and my hat is off to her. Go Lee! Kick some ass in Texas, my friend!!!

thanks for the words of confidence – they helped me today as I was facing my last really long run before the marathon. 20 hilly miles later I think I’ll be ready for Austin!
Congratulation on all your strength training – I’m impressed – Have fun in Palm Springs
