SEATED STATIONARY BIKE:

-Was very easy, barely sweated. Improvement in fitness is starting to show.

Weather got too bad ( those damn spring storms ) so went to the gym and improvised. Did the arms stuff i was doing in previous program, plus shrugs. Then some bike.
Was fun, might keep that for when i want a third gym day in the week.

Some bad news:
1) I somehow must have sprained my left ankle. Haven't run yet but i feel it when walking etc. Weird, i don't remember twisting it. It's very mild but its there.
2) Im down with the flu or some other virus, FML, again nothing too much but still can't train/run etc, dosing up drugs and multivitamins and food and rest lol.

Now some good ones:
Got the electronic results from my last race, gun time was 23:04 , net time was 22:57. Sub 23 biatch!!! oh wait, it was 4,5km  Average pace was 5:01 , 
Ranking : 63/430 overall , 33/154 age group ( M 18+ , there were no other classes, duh ) , only 5 people above me were older.
Not bad!

63/430 is solid. moving up the ladder!

Yup, not bad at all. Wasn't prepared at all for that race, plus it was morning and i was coming from a poor sleep night, 4 hours or so.
Here's the distribution of times:
Winner did 14:15 , #28 20' , #98 25' , #180 30' , #255 35' , #304 40'
A time around 20' is very doable if fresh and well prepared for that race ( plus knowing the course ). Cheers to next year!

^^^
Well it is a very good time anyway, but keep in mind that it was a very fast, mostly downhill course.
After the first uphill ~500m that had about ~20m of vertical raise, the rest 4km had a vertical drop of ~90m. About ~70m net drop for the whole race.

Bodyweight@session : ???
Soreness : none
Injuries/aches : none

RUN 5km @ 33:30

Went 'comfortable'. Average km pace landed at 6'41'' , happy with that, was afraid id be slower.
Was ultra rusty as expected. Lungs and legs were fine for it but the whole system was not ready, like 'dude, WTF are you doing, why are we running 5K after 50 days of zero exercise?'

What??? 

hah nice. just jump right back in it.

Lol yes but that comes with a prize: got extremely sore legs ( mostly VMOs ) and abs (!). Talking about real DOMS , as if i've lifted heavy.

hah ya. expected that.

Bodyweight@session : ~84kg
Soreness : idk, none? legs are kinda tired/sore but all over, no specific sore muscle.
Injuries/aches : none

INCLIDE DB PRESS:
Work up to 10@17.5kg each hand

WIDE GRIP LAT PULLDOWN:
Work up to 10@145lbs

SINLE LEG BOX SQUATS:
Work up to 8 each leg @ BW+15kg

CRUNCHES : 2x15
45' HYPERSEXTENSIONS : 2x15

So , the story is that my gym closed permanently out of the sudden. The subscription remain is transferable to a few other cooperating gyms but all this happened 1 week after i stopped going, so i learned it 1,5 month later. That means the 'good' gyms that were offering subscription transfer were 'sold out' ( the positions were limited ). I found one that fits my needs but its not very convenient, especially now that i still have tons of work, my free time is limited.
So, i decided that for the time being ( bball season is over , main focus is running ) , i will use my work's gym. It is a small gym with just the basics, what you'd find in a hotel. No squat rack, no bench , no olympic bars. But its still good for just doing some stuff and of course it is ultra convenient. So imma go with this for a while and see how it works.
