Workout Journal Notes

It’s never a good sign when we start with core work, because it means the main workout is going to be so brutal that we won’t be able to do core afterward!

That was certainly true this morning…

I continued to feel great during core, knocking out most of the moves with relative ease.

I’m still not sure exactly what to attribute that to, but it’s like something just kicked in a few weeks back, and my core has been much stronger ever since, especially in the various holding/stabilizing exercises.

Then, it was on to one of the most tiring circuits we’ve ever done.

After running up and down a steep hill for 2 minutes straight, we had to go immediately into a 200-yard shuttle run that was absolute torture.

Not only that, we had to do it again… and again… and again… for a total of 4 circuits.

Those 200-yard shuttles had me gasping for every ounce of oxygen I could find, and I barely knew where I was by the end of the fourth one!

Still, there’s no better feeling than finishing a grueling workout like that and seeing it’s still bright and early on Saturday morning.

And I definitely needed it, since I ate like a monster while out of town this week.

I wouldn’t be surprised if my measurements explode tomorrow, so check back to see the carnage!
