Workin' it Weekends

So last night (Friday night), I lived it up, had dinner and played football with friends and then decided to call it an early night and hit the gym.  I was one of two people in the gym at 8pm on a Friday night...yeah I am so cool.  It was the first time this week I got a good running workout in, 45 minutes of sprint/walk intervals and then 35 minutes of weights.  IT FELT SO GOOD!!! This time alone was the first time all week that I could just clear my head...Finally!

 

This morning my friends and I decided to get up early and run the stadium stairs.  It was really nice that the guys wanted to come too, we did a "mini boot camp" on the turf. It was very fun and different.

Here's the rotation we did:
4 sets of stairs every step; sprint
4 sets of stairs every other; sprint
Square's (run up one flight, shuffle across the top, down the opposite way, shuffle, then up again.) (three times) 

(repeat ENTIRE set twice)

Run distance of the football field (build speed to sprint by 50 then slow to other goal post)
Lunges (width of the foot ball field)
Squats (width of the field, change directions half way)
Killers
(run to the 50 yd line, back, 40, back, 30, back, 20, back, 10, back)
20 push ups (different type each set, stagger, knees, slow, fast, triangle)
Latter runs on the yard markers (length of field)
(repeat twice)

We did this entire workout 4 times!  I think the guys were a little surprised that I was beating them up the stairs...those main street stairs have prepared me well.

Happy Saturday!

Until tomorrow,
