For me, long = 3+ miles and it wasn't bad. My left hip is noticeably tighter than my right, and that poses a problem once I get past mile two.
I maintained a pretty decent pace throughout, and made sure to tackle some hills. I got lost in a neighborhood east of my house, and when I came back out onto the main thoroughfare, I realized that I was much further east than I wanted to be, which was bad (because I wanted to quit) and good (because I need to start pushing the distances, there's only like 70 days until I have to run 20 miles in 12 hours, and I'm still a fat sonofabitch)

Considering my new avatar, your post is even funnier.

So apparently three days between posts puts you on the third page.
Still fat of course. Did two more workouts and one run from then to now but I really don't feel like typing them out. And I think that I've definitely lost the Core Performance book, so I'm ordering a new one off of Amazon.
Life's going decently. Coaching a baseball team and, well, I don't want to risk jinxing it, so I won't talk about it. The play button on life is slowly being pushed.

Should have gone to 200 or so on the last set of bench presses, otherwise I was pretty on target for the rest of the workout. Hopefully I can play golf a few times this week in between baseball practice and otherwise have fun because I'm only working one day this week. We shall see.

I'm coaching third base and I'm apparently calling the pitches, so to say that I'm being thrown into the fire is a bit of an understatement. I'm going to brainfart at least three or four times that first game. That'll be ugly.
We had our best practice of the season last night, which is saying something. They did much better taking infield, and if they keep it up there's a chance that the infield may not be too terrible. I have no idea how well they're going to hit because when we've had BP I've been working with pitchers.
We've got two kids that I feel comfortable with throwing right away, but everyone else... notsomuch. I'm still to the point with everyone else where we haven't even worked on changeups yet. Hell, I had one kid yesterday who was at camp since the first practice who said he wanted to pitch. So we basically had to start like you would with a 9 year old. And our first game is August 23rd.

My boy could be ready. He might not have the velocity but he's starting to hit his spots.
He's not consistently landing on his toe which we need to fix and for some reason he likes pitching out of the stretch with his slide step a little too much which I think robs him of some velocity.

With the kids that haven't pitched, I'm seriously considering keeping them in the stretch all season to focus on landing on the toe with a soft front leg rather than worrying about the three windup steps to get to that point. With the stretch we can just focus on the essentials before we get to that stuff that's superfluous to throwing a ball (at the moment for a kid who's never pitched before)
I've got kids who are falling over backwards, hunching forwards, throwing across their body (and on a stiff leg. He may be the hardest thrower of the bunch too. If I can get that straightened out, he's going to be pretty good), slinging the ball sidearm... you name it. And then last week almost lost my front teeth taking a ball off of the plate in the face. It's an adventure.

The baseball stuff sounds like fun, mate. No matter how good (or bad) they are now once they're on the field it'll be great.

No, but judging by the women in the magazine, I probably should.

It's not bad by any means, but I reserve the right to change my opinion after the first game. I'm going to get a kid hung out to dry in the first couple innings. I just know it.

Was supposed to be 8/6/4 on the bench press, but got a little overzealous and came up one rep short on each set. Should be interesting to see what it feels like/what weight I select when I go back to 6/4/2 tomorrow.
But I need to finish week one today. Off to do that.

Good workout and was able to get this done early. Maybe the start of week 2 depending on how I feel. If I don't feel 100%, I can just postpone it another day. No point in fooling around with such a low-rep/high weight workout if I'm not feeling ok. I do want to progress in this last phase
