I’ve not written anything about websites, blogging or anything lately. I’ve been really busy focusing on some other things, but I really wanted to share this article from Blue Hat SEO because it wins the “Duh, I should have thought of that!” award of the day. The gist of the article is how to easily dethrone Wikipedia for a search term you are targeting. I haven’t tried this tactic, but it seems sound enough to me IF you follow the advice at Step 3, noting that the word “SLOWLY” is capitalized.
I’m not sure if this is part of what could be considered my workout log, or just some thoughts on the development of the self, but I feel I need to reflect on some things. Those things being this mysterious “Burpee Challenge” that’s been mentioned in some of my workout logs.
Today I did 234 burpees, even though today is a scheduled rest day in my current workout regime. I had planned on doing about 600, but that may have been unrealistic. I have about 600 planned for tomorrow as well. That is also probably unrealistic. So, why have I decided to do 1200 burpees in the course of a weekend. Well, let’s discuss the Burpee Challenge.

Today was the first day of Tabata in my revised workout program leading up to the Thanksgiving day 5k race. I did a circuit with the medicine ball. 8 exercises. 20 seconds a piece at maximum intensity followed by 10 seconds of rest before moving on to the next exercise.

Here are the exercises I did, followed by the number of reps for each round:
And the ab routine was:

No workout today. Just the bike ride to work and back, and doing small sets of burpees and squat thrusts throughout the day to catch up. Nothing done to fatigue.
Today I ran my favorite course. Since I’m preparing for a 5k race on Thanksgiving, and the weather is nice again, I want to get in some more running. Also, I figured I’d use Mondays as a strength day, so I had planned to take advantage of some of the exercise stations along the route, and the parking ramps to get in a strength workout during a relaxing run.
The course I run is about 3.5 miles and I had intended to run up and down 6 stories of stairs, and do 3 sets of 5 pull ups, hanging sit ups, parallel bar dips, and knees to elbows. I also wanted to do 3 sets of 10 monkey vaults to squats on a picnic table, and 3 x 25 sit ups. That’s what I did in about 1 hour and 2 minutes. I wasn’t running for speed, it was just for enjoyment and some cardio in the context of a strength workout. That said, I need to make some modifications. Read the rest of this entry »
