And yes, there is a home Illinois football game at 8 pm. Too much for a week night (could have made Friday) So, I’ll miss as will many others, given the dollar tickets for good seats that are available.
I did a hill workout: the Garmin got it as 6.26 in 1:30:14, or 14:24 total average pace. This is a nice grade of hill. I did 7 of these all-together.
Today’s workout was a chore.
I mixed pull ups with my PT (2 set of 5 pull ups, PT exercise in between) plus one penalty set of 4 singles. They were just hard today.
Then downstairs: 10 x 134, 10 x 145 (hard)
incline: 10 x 114, 3 x 135 , 2+5 x 125 (hit the standard on the way up)
deadlifts (trap bar) 10 x 134, 10 x 184, 5 x 225 (felt off)
4 inch: 10 x 244 (lost balance on rep 8, reset and got 2 more).
The good news is that I got a great leg pump out of it.
then 2.13 miles of walking (H course) in 31:26 with a 1.29 commuter walk at 18:30.
I am coming up to the moment of truth: 2 more training weekends (this weekend and the next one).
Illinois football first home game is tomorrow: 8 pm. No way I can make it. But that is how it is: all is sacrificed for TV bucks. I suppose I might stay with season tickets ..or maybe not as they are “re-seating” next season.
