The Lord's Day

A day of rest. Too bad it's a rest day today. We could've come up with a good one for my birthday. :)


Great forearm blaster-post workout. Carry 25# plates with your fingers for 400 m. Try to limit the amount of times you put the plates down for rest.

Good luck to Jim and Luke on their 1/2 marathon today. I'm sure you'll represent our small gym well.

Cold Zero


10 rounds with a partner:

100 m
Push Ups

While your partner is running the 100 m, you'll be cranking out as many push ups as you can. When your partner returns, they'll take over the push ups and you go for a run. Continue counting the push ups where your partner left off. The goal is to get in as many push ups as possible collectively and still get a fast time. Each person must complete 10 rounds each.
