10/9/2010 - run, taiji, KB core

  • Run - Greenlake in new Mizuno trail shoes (very nice) before taiji class. 3.4 mi., 34:41, 10:08/mi., 379 calories. Felt great and got the run in before the rain started. Data is here.
  • Taiji class - only Ruth and myself, then David came for the 2nd half, so basically a long semi-private lesson. Lots of good questions answered about softening, etc. etc.
  • Fun KB core(-ish) workout: 2 rounds of: hanging leg raises (5 then 10); 10 bird dogs L/R; 10 clamshells L/R w/5 lb dumbbell on working leg; 10 side laying leg raise L/R; 30 sec plank, then 30 sec side plank L/R; 10 bridges w/2x15lb dumbbells on hips; 3 1/2 TGUs 16kg; 3 down dogs/up dogs; BB SQ 3/95. Between exercises, worked on BW SQ, opening the hips & groin, which was the underlying point of the workout.
