Rogue Olympic Platform

Just when I thought there were no good deals left in the world, I come across a 8 x 6 Rogue Olympic Lifting Platform for $400.  While that may seem outrageous, consider that new from Rogue:

$245 Platform

$399 Mats

$219 Shipping & Handling

$ 39 Tax

--

$902 Total

Unfortunately, I am not in the market for an Olympic Platform, but a sweet deal right nearby in Westminster, CO being offered by Cole Myers.

Rocky Mountain Greenway Trail

1230

3.07 mile (31:13 moving time; 10:09 pace) on the Croke Canal loop.  I added a little jaunt on the second loop to bump the mileage up.  I was aiming for a 5K.  Felt great and just beat the higher winds.

Rocky Mountain Greenway Trail

1200

2.97 mile (29:10 moving time; 9:48 pace) run on the Croke Canal Loop.  The run actually took me closer to 35 minutes, but I stopped twice.  Once to take pictures of the Bald Eagles on the first loop (less than 15 second break).  The second break was to talk to a former colleague.  This was a 5 minute break and I took off like a bat out of hell covering the last half mile at a blistering 8:59 pace (per Strava).

Evening

While watching television, I came across a push-up workout on HSTL.  This called for push-ups 20, 19, 18, ..., 1 for time.  That would be a whopping 210 push-ups.  I scaled it to 12, 11, etc which is still 78 push-ups.  The gist is that you need to rest long enough to do each set unbroken.  A pause at the top is OK.  The 78 reps took me 8:30
