Hitting it hard

I don't have any great stories from Warsaw yet, but I just wanted to drop in and tell you that I exercised today. A lot. And it's already helping me feel better. I normally just put my workouts in the training log, but since this goal is related to my self-treatment for depression, I thought I'd put it here.

I did double-unders with a jumprope using the Tabata protocol (20 seconds go, 10 seconds rest) for 5 minutes. I then did situps using the same protocol, 10 reps per 20 seconds, for 5 minutes. I then did Prisoner's Workout, which is burpees in a pyramid (10, rest a minute, 9, rest a minute, 8, rest a minute and so on down to 1).

I sat around until I cooled down and stopped sweating, hopped in the shower, then I hit the street to walk to work. Walked 1.5 miles to work, wearing my 45-pound backpack and pulling my 50-pound hard case filled with video gear. I kept my heartrate above 140 for most of the walk and got to work soaked in sweat. Luckily, it was raining outside, so everyone just thought I was wet from the rain.

Been hard at work on the factory floor cranking out video widgets ever since. Thanks for stopping by.
