5/21/14 Wednesday May 21, 2014 (running, push-ups)

Finishing up in Oklahoma City today.  Was out extremely late with coworkers, we had a great time.  I had it in my mind though to force myself to move in the morning and I settled on doing some mobility in my room and then headed outside, just started running in a direction and kept going, circling, stopping intermittently to do sets of 5 push-ups.  Probably ended up doing 35 to 40 push-ups, and ended up running a very long while because I got lost!  Probably about 4 miles.  Body felt good actually, which didn't make much sense give the travel, food, lack of sleep.  I do feel like I need to tighten up my diet a bit.  Been eating good food in general, but eating everything in front of me.  I will tighten it up now and focus on it for the next several weeks.  All in all though, two days of running in a row and the body didn't bark at all.  That is a great, great sign for me.  Things are going in a good direction.

5/20/14 Tuesday May 20, 2014 (interval running / push-ups / pull-ups)

In Oklahoma City for work, got here yesterday after traveling all day.  Not the best sleep of all time. I did my best to get mobilized in the hotel room this morning, and then it some intervals between the treadmill and pull-up bar as follows:

2 min run, SL DLs 5/5, 2 min run, Fighter Program pull-ups for the 4th week (sets with reps 5/4/3/3/3, up from 5/4/3/3/2 last week), 5 push-ups
x 5

Total of 20 minutes running, 25/25 SL DLs, 18 pull-ups, 25 push-ups

This was good.  Really worked up quite a sweat.  I was pushing it on the treadmill, running 7:30 miles or 8:30 miles, the 7:30 is fast for me but it felt good.  I am definitely stronger with my stride, just all around better running technique now that I have much stronger hips and glutes.
