That was only 4 hours?!

Posted by Kevin Doak on Wednesday at: 12:31am (August 31st, 2011)

Today was comprised of two 2 hour workouts.  It began with what I would call "the best of P90X", meaning, the hardest stuff.  At least we were outside.  After 30 minutes of dryland, we were instructed to run around Ann Arbor for 25 minutes.  I have to say, if somebody had said, you need to run (not jog) for 25 mintues, I would have told them, that's impossible, I haven't run for years.  Yet, with the implied peer pressure of being on a team, somehow I made it happen.  It was certainly a new experience.  I've only run in a pack (6 of us) a few times in my life.  We tore up the streets of Ann Arbor for a bit and I kept up with everybody.  When we got back, we were greeted with another 20 minutes of medicine balls and exercise ball work out on the track.  Afterward we went inside for a 1 hour swim.

A few hours later, we were back for more.  Another 2 hours in the pool, almost continuous swimming with short rest and relatively high intensity.

My muscles are desolated, this will be a long week.
