Little run and a few weights

Back with the club - hurrah - if only for a bit. Out over Bowthorpe marshes, cut back early and walked after 25 mins. Everything seems hunkydory - 10 min miling again. Really nice to catch up with Claudia, Sally and co., and lovely evening to be out.

After the run I squeezed half an hour or so in at the gym:

Biceps, 8kg dumbbell, 3x8 each side (moderate/hard)
Triceps, 5kg dumbbell, 3x8 each side (hard)
Shoulder press, 6kg dumbbells, 3x8 (hard)
Lat pulldown, 35kg, 3x8 (moderate/hard)

Shoulder bridge off ball, at ankles, 2x10
Side leg lift, 2x10
Clam, raised feet, 2x10
Shoulder bridge, normal, 2x10 - tried for leg extension while up in bridge but hamstrings complained!

Typical

Having taken yesterday as a rest day, typically it was glorious weather. We got loads done in the garden but it would have been ideal for a bike ride!

So, today, I thought I would get in an hour's bike ride with a few hills, and a gym session. Stupidly I did the gym first and now it's raining... maybe later it will clear up!

Gym:
5 mins rower WU
triceps: 15kg 4x6, 10kg 2x12 (15kg too hard to do >6)
