Still can't find the motivation to go run in the freezing cold ( at nights that are convenient for me it is like -2'C/28'F and windy, feels like index down to -10'C/14'F )
It is getting a bit milder though and i am beginning to grow annoyed at this being the 3rd week im not running so i'll suck it up and go one of these days.

SS1a : PUSHUPS : 20@ BW
SS1b : BENT ROWS : 20 @ 25kg
SS1 info : 10 rounds

SS2a : PUSHUPS : 25@ BW
SS2b : BENT ROWS : 25 @ 25kg
SS2 info : 2 rounds

A combination of lots of work, freezing weather and low motivation have caused a week off. I could force a couple of workouts after mid-week but decided to just let it happen.
Lets' see if i can bounce back strong.

Matched last time's reps. Of course it felt harder than 2 weeks ago but I'm happy i pulled it through.

6 January

Low aerobic zone run 12K @ 1:31:45 ( 7:38 pace )

First low aerobic run of the year, not bad at all. Humidity was out of this world, 95%, clear skies but everything soaked, whack!

Same with last time. 500 reps feels like norm now.
I plan to start adding 25-s sets now so split the presentation in 2 super-sets, although it is the same thing, just different reps.

I also had problems with inverted rows, so Im doing those silly 'back-widows'. They are prescribed to be done on the floor or standing at a wall, but i do them at the doorway for a greater ROM.
It is not the best or most compound exercise in the world but it does get difficult with controlled high rep scheme and gives you some real lat soreness (and bruises at the spots under the elbows that you push lol ).
Also, i am using a power bag, you can't order it but can't you build one? Any pullable object that weighs  over 15kg can make a great one-arm-bent-row workout.

SS1a : PUSHUPS : 10x20 / 2x25 @ BW
SS1b : BENT ROWS : 10x20 / 2x25 @ 25kg
SS1 info : 12 rounds

Did 5 extra reps at the last 2 supersets just to reach the 500 total reps milestone   

26 December

Easy run 10K @ 55:14 ( 5:31 pace )

Pacing got rusty, couldn't find a sweet spot, whenever i was losing focus i was going too fast ( pace around 5:00 ) and then slowing down and recovering at around 6:00.

I used to be into the whole car modding thing, had a souped up Nissan Pulsar, with a GTI-R bonnet. A 1990s official Nissan WRC rally variant

Not mine, but it looked similar

Ah, the GTi-R is legendary, here in Europe it was called Sunny. Pure fantasy material back then, a rally car that could hit the roads.
