Ah spring came again to Oregon with a blissful 70 degree evening. So I took a run. I did the 5.5 (ish) mile loop of hills around my house with my schnauzer. I
PR'd in that I never once walked on the last 1.5 miles uphill. I did the run in well under an hour so I am thinking a 10.2 min mile run for me tonight. I'll take it. My goal on these runs is to not push my HR up too high. My trainer suggested I get a HR monitor and suggested that I look at the Polar brand but I found one on Woot for cheap that I bought instead. I am just now trying it out. Seems to work okay for the basic stuff.
After the run I came home and did some ab stuff
Superset (3x15)
swiss ball crunch (+25lb)
Reverse crunches
Hanging Leg Raises
3x15
Scale told me this morning that I had gained a pound and also that I had gained some bf. Hmmmmm.... Today at work 2 different people noticed that I am slimming. Also after the ab workout and run guess what I could see today. Tummy muscles are back!!!! The cool thing is they are showing up already even though I am at a very high bf still. I might be able to pull off a abs at higher than 10%. In any case I am definately starting to lean out.
That scale is a funcking liar. Fortunately I don't head trip about it anymore....
