20 push-ups
10 dips

Do as many repetitive UNBROKEN sets as you can with no longer then a two minute rest in-between.

UNBROKEN means that if you do 19 or less push-ups OR need to rest in-between a set, your done.

Did 13 sets of 20/10 today.

4 races, 5 headbands.

Did the Patterson tough mudder. It was alright. A lot of repeating huge hills. Obatacles were easier the tahoe. Terrain was challenging. Tahoe TM is and always will be the top dog.

Been a while since I posted. Ran tough mudder Tahoe TWICE in a row. 22 miles and 44+ obstacals. It was enjoyable the first time through. The second time was pure pain. But, I am glad I did it. Good training for WTM in November. Still having slight knee pain from it though. Pushed my body to hard I guess. But pain is just weakness leaving the body ;)

Can’t wait till the rainy season comes. Training in all these layers and gear with the addition of hot days isn’t fun!

So my co-worker who is a big Brazilian Jujitsu guy told me about this sandwhich (Thanks Tap). I tried it out the other day before my jog. It definetly delivered some good fuel to go the distance. I set a new PR of 20.12 miles… 8 MILES further then I have ever gone before.

Gluten free bread (by choice)
Almond butter
Half avocado
Kale chips
Dehydrated spinach w olive oil
One egg (optional)

9.2 miles w 5lbs of lead weights + 10lbs of gear and water in the camel back.

So i read on the WTM forums that a soaking wet wetsuit weighs about 15 lbs… Living in California makes it far to hot to train in a wetsuit this time of year, so I am stuck cramming lead weight blocks into my camel back amongst the other gear and water pouch… Probably not the best thing in the world for my ankles/knees, but at this point, with only two months left to train… I gotta go hard.

Hello all,

I’m back. On August 1^stI got an inguinal hernia, thus causing me to have to lift baby weights for SIX WEEKS until they had an available surgery date. After the surgery I had to go another three ish weeks before I was given the Dr’s permission to work out again. Now I am back in the GYM, but lifting light for the next few weeks. Shooting to start up my regular training routine again on Sept, 1^st, 2012… Went in today and got my body measurements and composition measured.

Date: 8-13-2012

Chest: 40

Waist: 32

Ab: 34 ¼

Hips: 38 ½

Rt. Thigh: 24

Rt. Biceps: 14 Flexed: 15 ¼

Body Comp…

Bicep: 14mm

Triceps: 12mm

Lilac: 20mm

Subscapular: 15mm

Total: 61 = 23.5%

Electric measure: 15.9 fat or 27.9 bmi…. I don’t agree with the measurements… I don’t think I have that much fat on my body, but I guess that mean I just gotta work harder now till November…

Belly button pinch: 24mm

Upper abs: 18mm

Weight: 174

Short term goal: Increase hill climbing endurance by September 22^nd

Long term goal: Long distance endurance and a real six pack by November 17^th…

WORLD’S TOUGHEST MUDDER is gonna hurt alot… I’m not happy with having to take this massive break in my training…

I’m doing it. It’s gonna hurt. Alot.
