A 2-Workout kind of day

Greetings,

This morning started off with me doing a 20 minute kettlebell routine, thinking that it would make me feel fine enough for the day.  The workout ended up being this:

Tabata interval style, 20s work right arm, 10s rest, 20s work left arm, 10s rest x 20 times.
Used a 35# kettlebell, and did 5 clean & presses on each arm, per minute. Made for 200 reps total for the workout. 

I went to Mass, then went to a pizza place for their lunch buffet.  Felt like I ate way too much there. 

Later this afternoon, I got pointed in the direction of a new mini-blog site called "DailyMile", at http://dailymile.com.  Here, you can update your runs & other activity in a twitter-like ability.

So, I felt the need to get another workout in tonight, after feeling like crap from that meal, and knowing that a workout will start pushing some of that awful feeling out of the way.

I then did my strength workout next, doing my bench press & deadlift routine, followed up by this run on the treadmill:

1/4 mile @ 8.0 mph
1/4 mile @ 10.2 mph
1/4 mile @ 7.5 mph
1/4 mile @ 10.2 mph
1/4 mile @ 7.5 mph
1/2 mile @ 10.2 mph
1/4 mile @ 7.5 mph

2 miles total, 13:50 for a time to get that in.  My body felt really good after this one.  Tired, but good. 

All in all, if you feel sluggish, perhaps a little workout is all you need for a pick-me-up.

Run Strong, Run Fast...
Run So As To Win!
