Almost the end of this RunClub initiative I started at work and I can't wait for it to be over. I've had 2 runners once, and 1 runner every other time, that doesn't make a club. This is the fourth time I've tried to kickstart this thing and it's the same every time.
The first time, I didn't mind, I was training for races and I was going out anyway. This time, I'd rather be in the gym. I have a ton of accessory work I want to do and supplementary strength training, a day off to run with a non-club is a waste of my time. Any way the race is October 8th or 9th. Then it'll be over.
So I ran with Karen, who used to be my sole RunClubber in the early days, which was nice. We did the same 4km and a bit in 25:43. Good pace.
When I got back to the gym, I was itching to do something. Settle on wrists curls using a 35# dumbbell. Did 8 reps each side.
Then I did some one armed dumbbell rows. 8 per side with 55#, the got the big 90# dumbbell and did 6 per side. I can go heavier. Next time 100#.
I decide to go back to the wrist curls, using the 35# as warm up, I noticed there was a pair of fat grips to but over the dumbbell handle for a thicker grip, harder on the wrist. So I used that with a 50# dumbbell. Wow, that was hard, got 5 reps on the right, with great struggle and only 4 on the left.
Next time, if they're still there, I'll try 45# instead. If not, I'll still try 45#.
At least I felt productive.
