    A Lug of a Workout

    Thom came to my trainer session this morning and took photos. It amazes what he can do with that camera. He took probably 40 or 50 photos, and we have whittled that down to these six.



    The tire weighs somewhere between 100 and 150 pounds according to my trainer. I flipped it over ten times then low crawled back to the beginning, did twenty jumps and then kicked Shawna 15 times on each side. I didn't really kick her, she was wearing mitts. I did that routine four times.

    The second routine started with sideways jumps. Jump into the tire pop up and out onto the other side. Do that twenty times.





    Next was 30 step taps.



    Then take off and sprint as fast as you can for about 30 yards, turn around and sprint back.



    Do this group three times. The last round instead of sideways jumps, I got to jump forward - way easier!



    My workout started at 5:15 AM and ended at 6:15. It was great, but tiring!

    Thom and I had been planning on riding about 50 miles of my race course today. But I think that will wait until tomorrow. Maybe we'll get in that Diablo ride instead.

    First of all, you are a warrior! Look at those arms! Second, that workout would have me laying on the ground, sucking my thumb

    Awesome pics too- kudos to the photographer!

    Wow! I like how you say the workout was "tiring." Tee hee!

    You are one strong cookie! I am so impressed by your muscles and determination.

    Very envious of Thom's photography skills as well. Inspires me to pick up the camera and practice some more . . .

    Thanks for sharing!

    Heck no!

    Upper body work hurts too much for that.
