Surfing + Resting

There hasn't been much to update. I've been surfing a bunch, but not doing much else. Occasionally playing basketball, but that's about it. My ankle is fully healed which is nice.

My plan is to ride out October with only surfing and sports. I might head to Equinox a couple of times just so that it's not a total waste. That gym is the best and it seems a shame not to pay a visit here and there even on a down cycle.

New Pool

So Equinox finally finished the pool on the roof. And I had a chance to check it out. Pretty sweet. It's supposedly salt water, but I couldn't tell the difference. Here's what I did while I was there:

30 min. of swimming
15 min. run :: 1.9 miles
KB Swings :: several sets at 40 lb.
Dumbell Flat Bench :: 10 x 50 lb., 7 x 60 lb.
Dual Pulley Lat Pulldown :: 8 x 60 lb., 6 x 70 lb.
Bicep Curls :: 6 x 35 lb., 8 x 30 lb.
Tricep Pull Downs :: 20 x 50 lbs., 7 x 65 lbs.

Surfing++

So far today, only surfing for about an hour and a half. But I'm planing to do a workout at Equinox before heading home. Again the ridiculous working hurts. I had to have my sis drive me to my car last night instead of bike. It was late, I didn't have a light and my wife was a little uneasy about the biking. Excuses, excuses - I hate them.

Mud Run Training

My friend Chris and I confirmed at the end of last week that we will be doing the SBSD Mud Run. And although I wasn't planning on doing high impact training due to the sprained ankle, I figured I needed to be sure I can run the 10k on it. I went to Equinox this morning and ran the 10k (hilly version) without too many issues, though I wasn't very fast. Ankle hurt very little during and a little bit after, but I think I'll be good to go on Saturday. The only concern is some of the obstacles and landings. I think I'll be taping it up or at least wear a brace of some sort. Hopefully there will be no horror stories next week, just victory!

Equinox Day

Due to a sprained ankle from about 1.5 weeks ago, I won't be doing Plyo X. Normally I would do that and add another workout such as biking or at the gym.
Equinox Workout:
Ab Ripper
15 min. Elliptical (Wha? - Normally would run, but the ankle)
5k Row - 19:27
