Back into the swing of things

Took a leisurely 5km run today to shake out the cobwebs after nearly 2.5 weeks of inactivity (not including 6 consecutive days of skiing in Mont Tremblant #quadsburn).

Go heavy...or go home

From CrossFit Connection:

Doing high reps at a light weight might be good as a metabolic conditioning workout (provided you are doing full body functional movements at high intensity) or it might be pretty much useless if you are doing things like curls and triceps kickbacks. Lifting heavy things is the only way to get stronger and getting stronger should be your goal regardless of whether you are a man or a woman young or old. Strength is the most important of the 10 components of fitness because it is the one that will improve your quality of life as you age. The stronger you are now...the stronger you will be when you are 80......being strong at 80 mean the difference between being able to get up a set of stairs or being able to pick up a bag of groceries. Cardiovascular conditioning is important...BUT NOT AT THE EXPENSE OF STRENGTH....

Ran 5k today, didn't time it.

5k run

Ran 5k in 26:56. Trying to get back into proper running/marathon shape. Nice to do a run doing better than 5:30 splits. Still challenging, though, and breathing far too hard.

5k run

Did a 5k run today in the freezing cold -- minus 12 with the wind chill. I foolishly did not bring gloves and I nearly froze my hands off. Time = 29:13. Felt great to be sub-30 again.
