Beckerhead MYB / "Spartan" Fitness June

Hiked 8 miles over the weekend doing camping stuff, so 50 added lbs. Hopefully now that school ended I can get going on my workouts again.

8 MYB
 
Yay, somebody else posted in this thread besides me, TBL and Cap!

Cycling today. Tour de Cure ride for the American Diabetes Association (ADA). My brother and I have done this for at least the past ten years (I have a little research to do to find out when we started) for my mom's birthday; she just turned 82 and has been insulin dependant for ~45 years. We rode the 100k loop, which was a little over 63 miles. Nice day for it - not hot and NOT raining. Had some wind, but....great ride and the feedbag for lunch included make-your-own-burgers with guacamole and....BACON! Totally awesome......especially after nearly 4 hrs. on the bike. I'm still standing, so....didn't kill me. Lots of diabetic riders, including a New England beer brewing legend who I met a couple years ago at this same event. Anyway....

MYB: 21+12=33

Ran/walked a couple miles this am before a doctor's appt.....they said my blood pressure was kinda high - not surprisingly, considering I got home from the run, showered quickly and was at the office 20 min. later...
Also mowed the lawn tonight, which is always about an hour of sweating - I should pedometer it, I guess. Lots of uphill mowing.

2+33=35 MYB pts.

myb: +2 last night + 3 this morning = 15.5 - love jogging / playing with the dog. Was doing wind sprints back and forth while she chased me to tire her out. She still wants to play... I want to go back to bed lol.
bsp: knees are feeling it after all the walking / running. Decided to skip leg day this week.

myb: +3 = 18.5 - doggie running!
bsp: +4 = 37 - pushups situps and dips!

Welcome back KingMc!
 
Thursday and Friday were exceptionally busy work days involving constant movement and high-output activity, according to the pedometer I walked 3 miles a day above my average and I was certainly sweating hard and felt wiped afterwards, so I'll toss those into my MYB points.

8+6=14 MYB

Also I did about 1.5 hours of sawing just now, helped the parents take down a dead portion of a dogwood, turns out hardwood doesn't saw easily with a saw meant for green wood. Anyway, would consider that equal to maybe 2 BSP, my upper body feels like I went to the gym.

2 BSP

Proof of tree existence.

I did manage to finish the day with a 6-mile bike ride on a local trail, not much but worth it.

You're supposed to use a chainsaw for tree removal, silly! Unless, of course, you WANT to get exercise.

At least you're keeping Tim from being the only poster in this thread....
 
No chainsaw available, I wasn't the one who was hosting I was only the manual labour. It sucked sitting on the ground for nearly 40 minutes getting the last cut in at ground level, but at least I got some exercise. I'll be attempting to fit more stuff in in the next month as I have an obstacle course run in late July that I need to prepare for.
 
Had z friend get me to go on a 5-mile beach walk today along Alki, sunny as heck and not too hot.

18+5=23 MYB

Took a ride along the beach today (the last half, anyway) - totally nutz the amount of people out (that's why only half the ride). 30 miles.

MYB: 10+35=45 pts. for the month.

Been sweating the rest of the afternoon trying to get the pool open. Lookin' pretty green at the moment.

walked to work yesterday, one-way trip of 4 miles. rode the bus to work today and walked 1 mile total. I'm at work and plan on walking the 4 miles back, so I'll update with those if they happen.

23+5=28 MYB

Edit: totally walked home, another 4 miles and some damn good cardio due to the 15% grade of the hill on the way.

28+4=32 MYB

Sorry to hear of your setback cap! I know how crappy a sprained foot / ankle is! I was off mine for 3 weeks, and was still stiff when I started up again.

Heal up fast! good luck with those upper body workouts!

This morning I went for a mtn bike ride for the first time in a while, did nearly 2 hours or riding and covered 14 miles before making it back to the car.

40+7=47 MYB

You know when the name of the trail is 'Technical' it might be a bit difficult.
