Ok, so if you set your goals low enough, they are easier to achieve! Since I ran yesterday... a little... I wanted a shorter run again today. My goal was 2 miles. I walked 0.14 then ran 2 miles at a 11:59 min/mile pace. Wow, a speedster! Ha! I ate a Gu gel before running. I have a hard time finding something to eat that early in the morning that won't slow me down. I think the Gu does well. I don't really like the idea of such a weird food-like product, but I'm not sure what else I can do. Anyway, my tummy felt fine for the run and I'm still energized.
After the run, I headed to the basement and did a kettlebell workout. I'm still getting used to it, so it wasn't spectacular, but I did make progress.
10 front squats
10 swings
5 R front squats
5 L front squats
20 alt swing
8 L clean
8 R clean
10 swings
10 L clean/squat/press
10 R clean/squat/press
All these were done with lone kettlebell, a Gold's Gym 20lb kettlebell. Yes, I don't have a hallowed RKC kettlebell. I have a cheap Wal-Mart kettlebell. Yes, I actually did buy it at Wal-Mart. Bad me. It seemed to fit me well and was way less money than an RKC bell, especially since I didn't have to ship it. If I stick with them and need a higher weight, maybe then I'll spring for the good stuff. I was already getting flack for wanting one, though, so ~$30 was doable.
