No April Foolin' Around...

Nearing the end of my first 30 days on ChaLEAN Extreme, and still diggin' it six days a week. Loving all the heavy weight work and the shorter duration of the routines, and am pleased with the extreme burn coming on the one Abs day.

Will move to the next set of workouts next week, and have added -- thanks Wes! -- 100 burpees per day for the next 100 days, for 10,000 total.

I managed to snap on a full 50 of them after ChaLEAN was done with me this morning. Started at medium speed, and will add reps/speed as I go. Full-body burn win with this baby. (Nailed the last 50 after my "active" lunch break, 100 in the bag. Huff. Puff.)

What's a burpee? Check it out:



Also nailed the Tobacco Trail on Saturday -- rode out in the early afternoon while Will was at a bday party. Rode down to the trail, all the way into Chatham County/the 1/4 done railroad bridge, back down to the Olive Chapel Rd. trail head, when the sky opened up. Rained for the rest of the ride, then home -- 21 miles in all. The end of the ride on the trail was about 6 miles? of mud. Hard on the legs, but good for the burn.
