Kelsa Killed Kelly
>> Tuesday, March 24, 2009
Kelly was the name of the workout I did tonight... I did it once before. You can read about it by using the labels on the right- "Kelly" or "wallballs".
Kelly calls for 5 rounds of:
1/4 mile sprint
15 box jumps (2ft)
15 wall balls
I did the sprints at 8.5 on the treadmill, which is a 7:03/mile pace.
My total time for all FIVE rounds of the above????
17 minutes 25 seconds!!!
I was cruising! And I even had to run about 25 feet from the treadmill to the box jump area, then another 25 feet from there to the wall ball area, then 50 feet from there back to the treadmill.
The last time I did this workout was on February 1st- or 52 days ago and my time was 21 minutes! So, I took more than 3 minutes off my time! Hells yeah!
When I finished, I was drenched- head to toe covered in sweat. It felt good though.
Then I had to bike home.
Oops. Ha ha, I'm still working on the biking thing AFTER a workout. It's a toughy!
So far, though, I have to say that biking to work is one of my new favorite things. I download music to my MP3 player and just enjoy the ride in. The weather is absolutely, positively PERFECT right now. It's cool when I first start out, but once I get going, I'm comfortable. The sun is out but it's not a killer in the morning or the evening when I leave. The best part about it is the planning... I have to pack a lunch, pack clothes, prepare my entire day and plan accordingly and I LOVE IT. It takes the agony out of the day b/c the decision has been made the night before usually. I know it sounds weird, but biking is actually a much less stressful option, which is a result I didn't anticipate.
Until tomorrow,
