Creve Coeur Stairs

Only 4 rounds this time – started around 7:15am. Felt pretty good the whole time. Sprinted up hard but really took my time on the way down. Stairs were a bit crowded this morning. Some tall skinny dude was running down the dirt side of the railing and towards the end was walking up. But he did way more sets than I did. A couple other guys were there as well.

This time my cardio system outlasted my quads I think. I guess I’m reaping the rewards of my trips around the lake.

Creve Coeur Lake run

Ran the inner lake loop in around 32 mins, down from my personal best last tuesday of 30 mins flat. I think the distance is just shy of 3 miles. Started run at 7:16am.


Bas Rutten Boxing

Completed five three minute rounds of Bas Rutten’s boxing cd after teaching Krav tonite. Trying to work my way up to all ten rounds. Just keeping track.  :)  Focused on keeping right elbow down during right straights and swiveling on ball of left foot during left hooks.
