Spliced and diced - perhaps one day, a little shredded!

The reason that my blog is so quite is due to me lambing. I'm living away from home and working 15+ hour days!

Full body workout!

When I come back from lambing, it shall be back to running! :smile:

I've applied to do the London Marathon :biggrin:

Running for The Anthony Nolan Trust - to find out about them - look in my sig :smile:

Learnt a valuable lesson today - dont run with an upset stomach - consequences are horrific.

Splits were 7:20, 6:56, 8:41, 9:18 then last bit was 8:53. Horrendous!

4.1 miles done

Time - 37:58

Man I feel ill.... :s-smilie:

3.2 miles in 23 mins 17 secs

Much better!

Went to the gym afterwards

Deadlift (first proper time doing it - excuse the lack of weight!)
1 x 10 30kg
1 x 10 40kg
1 x 5 50 kg
1 x 6 50kg
1 x 7 50kg

Romanian Deadlift (again excuse lack of weight - trying to get good form)
3 x 5 40kg

Then did a lot of ab work

Not quite sure what was happening in the gym today - one guy was doing tricep dips, but at best doing half the range of motion

One guy was getting spotted doing hammer curls..

And another guy was doing pullups - but rather than doing the full ROM - he was going as far down as having the pull up bar in line with the top of head, then pulling himself back up :lolwut:

Then the same guy was doing over head tricep extensions.... and doing little more than 10 cm of a push...
Bizarre Saturday afternoon!

Sunday - 6.7 miles in 52:30 or 53:30

Today - 3.1 miles 23:50
Difference in time compared to the other day for the 3 miler is due to having to run on the verge in places.
