The Anabasis of Peachy

[Peachy]

Simple record of my work. No bears this time! (I mean, no bear theme. Bears are welcome).

 

8/1: 5k (Race for the Homeless). My cross country coach always said that there are only two race strategies: negative splits, or "Jesus, take the wheel". Started the race with the intention of the former, but realized by mile 2 that I had inadvertently chosen the latter. Still, finished in the top ten (with a decidedly unimpressive pace).

 

8/2: strength day

press 116 4x5

bench 176 4x5

w. pullups 20 4x5

deadlift 266 2x5

 

No squat--knee trouble post race.

You're back! Awesome! No lifting bears this time? You still have to bear the puns though I'm afraid.

[Peachy]

No bear-measurement, but puns are always welcome!

tabata: medicine ball drops

Well, that was a week. Stress eating, no time/energy... blah!

 

But! It is a new week, and, as my people say, "Today is a good day for someone else to die!"

 

Press 110 5x5

Bench 160 5x5

Squat 226 3x5 (gently, gently, say the knees)

W. pullups 25 5x5

Deadlift 250 3x5

Thanks! Xenophon is one of my heroes.

30 minutes of road work, 30 minutes of practice: footwork, shadow boxing, heavy bag.
