Killer Combo 2-2

198 lbs.

So unexpectedly, I woke up around 1:15 in the morning, due to people taking excessively loud, stomping around upstairs, and whatever else. So that woke me up.

I played some Halo 3, and then some GTA4 online with my friends Rick and Marcelli, to bide my time until the workout. It was pretty fun, I guess I forgot what pure fun is like.

So around 4:55 in the morning I started interval training. Being the complete out-of-shape wuss that I am, I couldn't alternate all-out running or sprinting with walking, so I had to settle for jogging. Whatever gets your heartrate up, for me jogging is super intense, so that's fine.

I started out 1:30 of jog, 1:30 of walk - I alternated that four times. then I did a minute run, vs a minute walk twice, although the walk back took a couple minutes, so all in all it took about 20 minutes of my time. It was the longest 20 minutes of my life. But anyway.

Right after that, I sprinted to my bike, and had to carry it over the pile of cars in my driveway. So I put it down in one swift motion and I was off. I had planned to go to 11 Mile Road and back, but I just kept upping the ante as I went along. I hit 11, turned west, rode for a bit - found a bridge over the freeway, rode my bike up that huge slant, and back down the other side. Then I hit Dequindre, I kept going. I went past 12, than 13 Mile, traversing little bits of sidewalk, and the rest curb and grass. I turned down a road and took my life in my hands with no shoulder at all on the road. I made it to John R Road. I pressed on again to 14 Mile Road...I stopped by a Burger King briefly to get some free water, as I was fairly dehydrated. Then I did it, I hit the landmark - Oakland Mall. I felt pumped, accomplished at this point. But OH YEAH, the whole ride I just did I have to double, as I need to go back home now. So the way back was much more of a steady-sitting speed, and I stopped at a McDonald's for yet another free water on the way back.

The sun was beating hot, and the kids were walking to school by the time I got back home. Took me about 2 1/2 hours to complete this day of cardio, if you include the interval training. I traversed over 17 1/2 miles on bicycle today, and I feel damn proud of myself. I'm beat however.

No other training for me today, I'll let my muscles rest and all of that, and hopefully stay off my feet the rest of the day. I won't be trying to top this anytime soon, I assure you. I'll have to pull it back a couple notches tomorrow.
