7:45 as Rxed

Not sure if it called for 10 lunges total or 10 each leg, so I did 10 each leg.

Man, that workout was brutal on the lower back / butt.

About 2hrs later, I attempted to work on running. Goal was 4x400 at sub-7:00 pace. Unfortunately, I didn't leave enough recovery time. My legs felt like jello and my lungs were burning before I started. Ended up doing 6 cycles of run 300m / walk 100m at 6:44-6:58 pace. It felt like I would have been able to hit my goal if I hadn't done the earlier workout. I'll try again in 2 days.

Well, it's snowing and the geniuses who figure out how to care for the roads have yet to even come out and play. People are driving at 5 mph down the highway. . .It's going to be a lovely commute to work. Anyhow, just back from the gym. I did this as rx'd with the dumbbell in the rack position.

Time: 6:44.49

Took about a 40 second break after round 3 to run down the hall and grab chalk as the dumbbell was getting a little moist and slippery. This is another of those deceptively "easy" looking workouts which left me in a pile of mush on the floor after 5 rounds.
