Air Wingers Team Thread - Nov USMC Challenge (Page 7)

Top   

Always best to run long on good rest ....  

Got in #6....a bike ride and some stretching and strength work.  Getting on the bike when I can't put weight on the left leg would surely have been a comedy routine if there was an audience.

Hey Wingers.

We're doing pretty darn good. I am takinga day off but I get to play in the yard plantng trees so no cali day again. Soon come though,

Roger that. 

Got in # 1 of week 2.

Elliptical and some raking and shovelling dirt from the city.  they cleaned out the ditch and left it in the yards.

Keep flying...  We are doing great.....

HooRah Air Wingers!

I made another attempt at the Cali Routine.  I made a few changes.  I tried it circuit style with 4 sets.  I just didn't feel like anything else, but this week and next week I'll be working 72 hours each week.  24 hour shifts on Monday, Wednesday... Saturday and Sunday (48hrs), Tuesday and the next Saturday.  Crazy, so here's what I did on the Cali Routine:

No Warmup - No Weights - No Pullups / Lat Pulldowns

Exercise:             Set 1          Set 2          Set 3          Set 4
Push Up               20               20              20              20
Dips                     20               20              20              20
Situp                    20               20              20              20
Calf Raises           20               30              25              40
2 Leg Squats       50               50              50              50

I varied my pushups - reg, tricep, wide, reg
I varied my calf raises - reg, pigeon toe, charlie chap's, reg

Each circuit / set took about 6 minutes.  I took about 1 minute rest between each set.  My last set was slower than the rest.  I hope to increase my speed to each set and complete 5 sets.

^^^ that looks like quite the workout...

being as that last week sucked fo rme at work... I'll consider this week WEEK #1 of my "24 week" plan...
The resorts are opening, so I MUST get my legs and core up to speed or they will loose my skiis (not a good thing)

I also got in workout #1 opf week #2...

Went for a short run (being as that I haven't been running much lately)
THen came home and did some BASIC core and srtength...  tomorrow will be all strength (Upper/core)

Later,

FLY HIGH!!!

HOORAH Air Wingers!  We are doing fantastic!  Keep working!

I got in my first workout for week #2 with a 10 mile race.  It also added nicely to my run challenge!  Yea Pecans!  The race was a killer with a super, huge hill (833 feet elevation)!  Not my best run, but I did it!

I may try the Cali routine next week!  Looks like a good workout!

Team Standings at the end of week one:

1. POG 57 Pts 28.5%
2. Air Wingers 76 Pts 27.33%
3. Ground Pounders 87 Pts 27.19%
4. PT Freaks 87 Pts 27.19%

Today is the Marine Corps 233rd Birthday.  Since everybody is participating in this challenge I see you all as my brothers and sisters in this years celebration.

Happy Birthday Everybody!!!

Workout # 2 done this morning.

Good news from Dr. Office

Got my first run of the 2nd week in today.

3.17miles 30.47 minutes

i'm starting to get faster on my lunch runs (WOOT) so I may have to start including my evening gyn workout as well to get my 30 in.

Workout #1 done for this week:

30 min high RPM spin on the trainer.

40 min run on the dreadmill...hills...ugh...

Workout #2 was yesterday. Knee still making progress every day.

Looking forward to REAL workouts like you guys- hopefully back in the pool next week and back on the bike (for real, not this geratric spinning) by Christmas? Maybe sooner.

Happy Veterans Day!

A big thank you to all the veterans for your sacrifices in defending our freedoms.  A big thank you to all currently serving in the armed forces.

I should be able to get a lunchtime swim in (workout #2 for the week).

Workout #2 also in the bank . 

Run  54mins  and Swim 23 mins  .  Was supposed to be the other way around but i got carried away

on the run .    Plus   it will be 90+F Friday so i wanted to get my mileage in before the "winter " weather

kicks in.  

Happy Vet's day everyone.

Got my number 1 in today. 

way to go otter on the good Dr's check up.

You are doing great aquin, soon you will be showing us all up.

Hoo Haa!

Got some more base training in on the elliptical today at 40 minutes.  That's number 3 this week. 

Got two in, I'm a little behind today. I got my run in just before the rain. I am a fair weather runner so that was good.
