[140] Urbana Birthday Weekend - Day 1

Well, after the last day of CFC, I caught the Greyhound to Urbana for the weekend. Started my first day here with a really great workout with my buddies, Hiep (my future roommate and good friend) and Venus (this blog has enough occurrences of her for y'all to know who she is). 

• Woke up at 8am
• Ran 4.5 miles
• Circuit Training around the Quad




• Station 1 - Oblique Push-ups (¿20? on each side)

  

  Without the board

• Station 2 - Squats (20-30)
  
• Station 3 - Upward Dog-to-Downward Dog Sequence (20 reps) 
  
• Station 4 - Agility Jumps (30 sec on facing forward then backward)
• alternate jumping to either side of any line on the ground as fast as you can
  
• Station 5 - Lunges (30 sec for each leg)
  
• Station 6 - Crunch to Reverse Crunch (as long as I felt like)
  
• Yoga
• Sunset Salutations A series - 2 reps
• Sunset Salutations B series - 2 reps
• Various Standing Poses
  
• Various Stretching 
• Hiep, Venus, and I took turns leading different stretches

Doing all this was actually really perfect following CFC. It was like a "post-final-assessment" assessment. Again, remember that day where I ONLY ran 0.8 miles? Well, today, I ran 4.5 miles! Then I did so many other exercises, and it felt great. This young man even led some yoga. 

I'm not tooting my own horn, but I'm pretty proud of myself. :]
