The Weekend

Saturday

8 miles in morning in the new Fireroads, followed by 5 supersets. Abby, a superset is a set that is super...it is packed full of a lot of stuff, but only a few at a time, so you get in a lot. Here is what I did:

10 pushup
10 ab
10 pushup
10 ab
10 pushup
10 ab

You have 2 minutes to do all the things above, so if it takes a minute, you get to rest a minute. It is easier than doing 30 pushups followed by 30 abs. Plus, in a 20 minute workout, you could get in 300 pushups and abs.

For your own case, just do a little less, like maybe 5 or so. Start with a couple supersets, and over the weeks keep adding more. Soon you will be doing a lot!

Sunday

10 miles easy. Took some walk breaks. During the two miles, there was someone who had turned and was running behind me. I felt that they were trying to race me, rather than just trying to catch up to me so we could tell some funny jokes, so I went a bit faster. They didn't catch me. Ha!

But then I felt bad, like maybe we could have had good conversation or something. Maybe I missed out on an excellent opportunity.

Total time was about 1:28.

26 miles on Fireroad B

Don't feel bad about the runner who was unable to catch you. May have been someone full of band camp stories.

Super sets! How super! I'm gonna do some!

Yes, supersets. They are excellent. A good way to rid of excess weakness.

Perhaps the runner behind you was a murderer and by you running faster you saved your own life.

Good job. Way to save your life!
