Abby, you asked if you should do PT all at once or throughout the day. From a physiological standpoint, I really don't know, but I think it is just as beneficial to split up workouts. That way, you are sure to complete all the reps and such, plus you may tack on a bit more. It also makes workout more manageable, I think. If you have a bunch of stuff to do, it is easier to break it down.
Any PT is good, so just do whatever you think is best for you and works best with your schedule.

Sore Legs
The legs were sort of sore today, but that is good. That means that I am actually doing something. Went for a really easy 8. I saw a pack of horses in a corner of a field. One of them looked like it was outside the fence. There could have been an electric wire strung there, but I was not sure; I did not have my glasses on. I stopped at a nearby house and knocked on the door. A white truck was parked in the driveway, so I thought someone would be home, but no one answered the door. A dog ran around from the side of the house though. It looked like a pretty good dog. I petted it.
•••••
Did Arnell's Week 1 workout again.
3 sets of each:
A1: pushup (20)
A2: squat (20)
B1: lunge (20)
B2: pullup (6)
C1: bodybuilder (10)
C2: plank (45 sec)
Later in the day did band exercises: bicep, tricep (3 x 10), wrist (10 each)
Finished off today with 70 seconds plank each side and 20 neck each way.

2x Day, Goggins
Ran twice today. I had to take the car to the shop today, so I just ran the half mile back, then tacked on 2.5 more. A good 3 miler in the morning! Temp was still cold. Windchill of 7. Had to run right into the wind the last mile.
•••••
8 miles in the afternoon. Did a new route. Out into the country, past the ethanol plant, to Springer Hill, and back around town. Thought about picking it up during the run, but then decided to just take it really easy. Had to stop for a train. Walked so I wouldn't get cold. Temperatures a lot nicer than this morning, at 36 degrees and only a slight wind.
•••••
Decided to do ab planks in the evening. 70 seconds each side.
•••••
So, HERE is another video and an article of David Goggins. I think he is going to take the place of Dean.

11 miles total

8 miles today. Hands almost froze. The cold is bad!
Did some PT. Week 1 of program, which included pullups. Pullups felt good! Only did 3 x 5, but it was a good start. Then 3 x 10 biceps and triceps. 25 arm hauler.

Back
I am back in Nebraska. The cold was still here. 7 degrees right now! Oh, when will it get warm again?
Spent 4 days in California. It was wondeful! Read more about it in my other blog, if you like. I will post a day-by-day list of happenings on Tuesday, probably.
Didn't get much running in. Actually, I only ran once. 8 miles. Walked a lot, though.
Did some PT today: 6 x 25 push, 6 x 15 ab (half flutter, half lever), 1 min ab plank each.
Am planning an awesome week of running...

Day off, Foul Mood
It is a day off for me. I am going to do nothing.
•••••
This is all for the better, though, because I am in somewhat of a foul mood, precipitated by minor events yesterday afternoon that were not resolved. I am one to mull over things, and my mood has been stuck down in the goat s*** for almost a whole day now.
•••••
I watched a documentary on NetFlix this morning. In addition to receiving dvds in the mail, you can instantly watch shows and movies on the internet. I might go watch a movie now. I tried to practice, but the foul mood brought me down, so I quit early.
•••••
Say something ludicrously funny to cheer me up.

PT Power Run, Rice
An excellent run today! Thought about postponing the 10 miler until tomorrow, but then decided to just get out there and run.
Temp was 43, windchill 38. Wore shorts. My legs looked sickly white. First planned just to do 7:50s the whole way, but then decided to kick it up a bit and run the 2nd half faster. Threw in 20 pushups before the run and after every mile, thereby giving me 220 total. The shoulders sort of feel it. Good stuff. Stopped the watch everytime I did pushups, which gave me a 15 second break after each mile.
Miles:
1- 7:49
2- 7:25
3- 7:33.60
4- 7:33.66
5- 7:23
BAM!
6- 6:42
7- 6:26
8- 6:23
9- 6:15
10- 7:43
1st half in 37:45 (7:33 average)
2nd half in 33:31 (6:42 average)
Total- 1:11:16 (7:08)
Wind was sort of blowing at me during the first half, then had it pretty much toward my back on the way home. Ran fast, but not so fast that there was a lot of pain or effort. Sort of just relaxed. My lips were sort of jiggling around. That's one way to know you are relaxed.
Was going to cooldown the last two miles, but decided to get in another good mile. Did not know where the half-mile mark was, but I thought I was on 6:00 pace, so I sped up the 2nd half.
Started going faster the last 600m, feeling the lactic acid accumlating. In the last 200m I thought I could break 6:00 so I started going even faster.
Evidently, where I thought the half-mile mark was was not the half-mile mark. It was a cruel joke.
When I saw that I would not break 6:00, I sort of backed off. It was a good idea, because everything was starting to feel bad and I started groaning. I am not in shape to go as fast as I thought I could go. Finished in 6:15 though...pretty satisfied with the effort! Hoorary!
The pushups after the 9th mile were sort of hard, and I had to make strange noises in order to summon the strength to keep going. Headed back home at an easy pace.
A great run!
•••••
My mom made some really good rice today! Nothing special. Cooked some brown rice, then threw it in a skillet with sesame oil, leeks, and shredded carrots. Yum yum!
Rice is the new thing. I am going to see what kind of rice creations I can come up with. Recipes to come!
•••••
Finished the week with 40 miles. A good number. 45 next week, then either 35 or 50 the next week, depending on how fresh the legs feel.
Hope you had a good week!
