Sunday

A good weekend, busy and a little confusing to the kids with DLS kicking in. The weather was nice and we spend a lot of time outside. Slept a little more than normal last night and am gearing up for additional tweaking tonight.
Going to end the day with some relaxing yoga at 11 and hit the bed by midnight. Plan to get up at 6 for a morning workout and then grab a half hour nap around 2. Will see how it works out tomorrow.

Ran 6 with the neighborhood group today, good stuff.

2009 Miles Run: 39.8

Biphasicish sleeping day 12

Well, had an oversleep event today, went to bed about 11:15 and got up when wife's alarm clock went off at 6:45. I feel better for doing it am going to stick with 6-7.5 hours with a 1/2 hour daily nap. The experiment has definately gotten my discipline back more or less in line with where it needs to be and I'm happy with how my daily schedule works out. I get up in time for a round of exercise, then help with kids/breakfast routine to get them out the door before getting to work. In the evening after work I hang with family and after kids are in bed I have some guilt free me time.

So far today I've knocked out abripper (21/25 reps per exercise) and a 5.5 mile run. 20 pushups completed.

12:36pm - 50 pushups done.
3:22pm - 80 done.
4:22pm - 100 done.
5:46pm - 120 done.

Went to bed at midnight, awake at 6, out of bed at 6:30am. Have Intervals+, some yoga, and 120 pullups on the schedule.

8:39 - 30 done.
12:02 - 70 done.

9:00pm - 100 done.
9:10pm - 110 done.

Also got Interval+ and some time on the stationary bike done. Will go do some evening yoga here in a while.

Biphasic sleeping day 10

Went to bed at 11:30 and was awake before 6:30. Took a 20 min nap and have been functioning very well today. Knocked out some YogaX and a ride. Loooong day at work.

Biphasic sleeping day 9

7:35am
Hard time getting moving today, been up since 6 but the kids are on a 2 hour snow delay and we've been lazy this morning. I am pretty sore today, February was not good to me. Glutes, lower back and abs are feeling pretty rough.

10:45pm
Got some KenpoX and treadmill work done today, still pretty sore. Going to try 7 hours tonight, 11 - 6 and see how that goes with the extra exercise. Been feeling 'muddy' and feel like I need more rest.

I'm still way ahead of the 9-10 hours I was doing in Jan/Feb.

Biphasic sleeping day 8

7:36am
Got up about an hour ago, just now getting down to the pc to blog about it. We got a bunch of snow last night and that's thrown the morning routine right out the window. Whole family's been hanging out 'on the big bed'. I work from home so it's going to be tough to be productive with the kids home from school, contemplating taking the day off.

On deck for today is P90X Plyometrics, P90X Abripper, some time on the geekeciser (recumbant bike) and 100 pullups. And shoveling the driveway which I'm about to do now and let the kids play in the snow.

7:40am
20 pullups done. Time to shovel.

8:30am
Shoveling is done, 30 pullups done.

8:52am
Abripper (20 out of 25 reps) is done, 40 pullups knocked out.

10:15am
50 pullups done.

3:23pm
5 miles ridden, first 20 min of PLYO done. 70 pullups completed. 26 minute polynap taken.

6:03pm
Dinner (baked spaghetti). 90 pullups completed. Forgot about the gallon of water today started drinking it at dinner. Probably going to regret start this late.

9:15pm
100 pullups done. Need to remember to do yoga tonight.

9:48pm
Holy moly I am tired.

11:31pm
Finished yoga and feel good but I'm spent. Lot of activity today so I'm going to punch out an hour early. Back by 6:30am tomorrow.

Biphasic sleeping day 7

6:29am
I'm up after 6 but sure would like to grab another 90 min. Sunday morning and it is cold and nasty outside.

1pm
It's fit for neither man nor beast outside, perfect for a nap. I happened to notice we're 60 days (or two months or 1/6th of the way) into the year today and I'm doing pretty well on my resolutions. Am still Alcohol, Tobacco, Hard Drugs, Cannibalism, Anatidaephobia, Injury, Rabies, and Soft Drinks free. Some of those have been pretty easy to do without, some like alcohol and soft drinks (Diet pepsi) have been harder.

11:52pm
Been a pretty good day, the 6 hour core with a 25ish minute nap seems to have suited me pretty well for the last two days. Tomorrow starts the second phase, we're going to be reintroducing some P90X workouts and get refocused on the triathlon/marathon work. Need to be looking for some additional projects, since I'm down from 9.5 hours a night to 6.5 I'm finding I've got some time on my hands.
