Stairmaster Change
Stadium Stairs (show workout)
Alex 18:11
Lisa 18:42
Lance 21:27
Eugene 21:30
Colin 21:42
Derek 23:21
The Stairmaster crown returns to the fellas but Lisa put all but Alex to shame. Her 18:42 wholloped Alex's previous 19:11 but he improved to a scalding 18:11 today and Derek improved by 3 minutes. My efforts on the stairs are as successful as the Gremlin, TARP money and Obama campaign promises. Colin had a brilliant retort to my wailing wall of complaints as I struggled along in misery, "This is why they have rest days." Excellent observation and one I should try out. Brenda ran 4 miles with a sneaky 1000 feet of elevation change very well hidden int the terrain. She's got her eyes on the Grand Columbian long course race in September that she is going to prepare for. Something spilled on the floor of the Suburban and Brenda gave me a very alarming response to my offering of napkins from Frisko Freeze to clean it up..."Oh this is way beyond napkins sweetie." Way beyond napkins. The way beyond part of that has great workout name potential.
I've had my fill of the stairs for today, I've gotten my double cheeseburger and hot fudge shake, I need a shower and a nap and I'll be ready to start my day.
Sheri, Brandon and Andy in the afternoon and all three did different workouts.
