Going Back To Cali

I get up tomorrow morning and fly, with my family, out to California for my brother-in-law’s wedding. I’m looking forward to it. We’re flying into Oakland (where brother-and-future-sister-in-law live), and the wedding is in Sonoma. I don’t really know what all that means - I’ve never been to the Bay Area before - I’m just repeating what I’ve been told. It’s supposed to be beautiful.

We’re going to stick around for several days after the wedding and see the sights. I’m going to visit a friend who has recently moved to SF. We’re taking a walking tour of the city, seeing the water, etc. I was thinking about this just yesterday. Except extended weekends and jury duties, this is the first time I’ve taken time from work in more than 5 years. I’m looking forward to it.

With all that said, my next post will probably not be until Friday the 20th.

Yesterday’s Workout

Three people showed: Marathoner, MountainBiker and me.

Warm Up 30:15 Work:Rest
P1: Charlotte Zercher Hold
P2: Push Ups
P3: Air Squats
Rotate until everyone’s done 2-rounds
Charlotte Relay
100m apart, 2 players on one side, 1 at the other
Players alternate walking Charlotte 100m
When Charlotte’s going away from you, do 20 push ups
When Charlotte’s coming toward you, do either 20 KB Swings or 10 burpees
Everybody carried Charlotte 4 times

I got one full 100m overhead and another maybe 70m overhead. The other two carries were both Zercher carries.

10-9-8…3-2-1 Circuit
Air Squats
KB Swings
“Box” Jump (onto 3rd stair in flight)

10 squats, 10 swings, 10 jumps, 9 squats, 9 swings, 9 jumps…etc.

After that we did a few 100m dash races.

It was a beautiful morning and a good workout.

See you all next Friday.

    Your group workouts always sound so funny, helped along by nicknames and imagining the carrying of Charlotte.

    Have a great trip!

    I went on a ‘light ride’ last wednesday after work. 28 point something miles with an average of 19 point something miles an hour. I was steadily holding 23-25 mph on Grant’s Trail, scaring inline skaters as I whipped past them.

    Something tells me this isn’t what you had in mind when you mentioned a light ride to assist in muscle healing.

    I then rode 89 point something miles on saturday - 52ish geared, 37ish fixed (and drunk)

    A drunk afternoon ride is not what I had in mind when we talked about recovery. Don’t get me wrong, a blitzed afternoon ride may be plenty enjoyable - but let’s not confuse it with recovery.
