I messed up.
I went to the gym today with a purpose - to run 3.5 miles as fast as I could without killing myself, and then to get in at least another 30-or-so minutes on the weights.
You see, the 3.5 miles were important because they were going to put me over the 400 mile mark according to my Nike+ Sportband. That's a pretty big milestone to hit, and I was really pumped about it.
As I'm just about done my run, one of the guys I workout with shows up, and asks if I want to hit the weights in a circuit. I agree, check my mileage and see that I made it - I hop off the treadmill and hit the weight section. (But that's a story for later on.)
When I get home and plug my Sportband in, it tells me that I didn't hit 400 - I'm .1 miles short. I guess I misread it at the gym. I was all hyped up for this big feeling of accomplishment, and I can't even hit the mark until Sunday.
Why Sunday? Well, that leads to the next part.
You see, the workout partner and I did a circuit as follows:
- 10 Thrusters.
- 10 Side Lat Raises - alt with front raises in later sets.
- 20 Hanging Leg Raises - knees to elbows.
- 10 Leg Press
- 10 Leg Extension
- 10 Leg Curls
- 20 Decline Bench Situps
- 20 Straight Leg Raises
- 10 Burpees
- 20 Kettlebell Swings
It's been so long since I've really worked my legs - I can feel my hamstrings tightening up even from just typing what we did today. Throw 9 hours of work (On a major warehouse/receiving day, no less) and I'm wiped.
So tomorrow is a Rest Day. (I still have to work, but it's a rest day from the gym.) I'm going to take it easy on my legs and then come Sunday I'm going to kick some ass.
It'll just be a letdown, knowing that I'm not crossing this milestone at the end of a hard run, but with my warmup mile. Just seems anti-climactic.
Whatever, I'll take it.
Later.
