Quick Gym Workout & Basketball Viewing

I sneaked out to the gym today to get in a quick workout. Left out one ab exercise, and left out quad extensions / hamstring curls due to time constraints. 10:00 warmup on cycle before. Did full upper body workout, though, and improved another little bit on bench and lat pulldowns. It was good to get the work done. I need to figure out a different ab exercise to put in place of one of the ab machines at the gym, since it just doesn't feel like it's doing much. Time to do some research.

Anyway, after that, I scurried home, and met Frank at Scholz's Biergarten so that we could go to the NCAA Basketball regional final between Michigan State and Kentucky. Frank had an extra ticket, and was nice enough to invite me. It turned out to be a great game, going to double overtime, and we had a blast. It was interesting to see how different a sporting event is when you view it in person. It was a relief to just watch and be entertained without the endless commercials and replays of a TV broadcast.

All in all, a nice day, beautiful weather, all was right with the world.

Weekly Stats (3/21-27):

5 runs, 39 miles, my longest week since before Freescale. 2 full gym workouts. Did post-run exercises on most of the runs, too. A very good exercise week. Next week starts with a slightly longer pace run, then the hilly 1000m repeats, a fartlek workout, and a couple of easier recovery runs, finished off with a 10K race on Sunday. Gym workouts as well. After Tuesday, the workouts will be significantly easier, as we do a mini-taper for the Capitol 10,000. I'm curious to see where I am with that race. Should be fun.
