I also have this issue where, when I hit the weightroom, I want to do every single exercise I can think of, which isn't the best plan for building strength either.
Today's workout was 5 sets each of:
* Barbell squats
* Dumbbell side lateral raises
* Barbell overhead press
* Neutral grip pullups
Another goal of mine is to do more core/ abdominal exercises as this is a weak point for me.
On my next weight room session, I think I'll try to do two different core exercises, plus more leg work, maybe lunges and deadlifts.
Hopefully I can begin to formulate a better plan that works with what I have available at home.
I also did an evening run tonight, Rock Island Trail, 8.0 miles on the dot. Had to run past the house at 7.97 and go a little up the block to complete it... you runners may know how that is. 😄
At Incline club we used to run around the park when returning if we only needed a little more mileage.
Run tonight was good, a little slow, but that's because of overall mileage this week being high and also the 5 sets of squats earlier. I didn't feel totally bonked by the end, even though I slowed down. I hope the real ultra runner is built by going slow and surviving tough runs 🏃♂️!
The trail is super green and everything is growing excellently.
The air was fresh after the rain today and no one was out. It was a little strange how quiet it was despite being Sunday night on a holiday weekend. In a typical year, this weekend would have been rowdy... but it's strangely quiet in Colorado Springs tonight. Makes me wonder if, despite many people adjusting to post-pandemic lives, more people have decided that going out wasn't as worthwhile as it used to be.
I'm certainly more of a homebody myself these days. A good run in fresh air is all I need to celebrate the holiday weekend!
