Routine of the Day- Run and 10′s
Posted by bradinator in Fitness, Routines on July 2, 2010
It’s bright and early and a run is in my near future.
Routine #1 - Run 3.5KM
Time was 21:56. Awful, awful time. I know I can do better but my knees just where not in a forgiving mood this morning.
Routine #2 – Complete 10 Rounds for time
- 10 Pullups
- 10 Ring Dips
- 10 Squats
- 10 Situps
Final time was 7:38. As RX from Crossfits website. This time, on the other hand, I am very, very pleased with. Take into account that I finished a 22 minute run only minutes before do this, I really kicked this WoD’s but.
Quickie Beer Reviews – Keystone Lager and Hitachino Nest XH
Posted by bradinator in Beer, Beer Tasting on July 2, 2010
A couple quick beer reviews that I need to expel from my brain before I forget what they were like.
Hitachino Next Extra High (XH) – Strong Ale (8%) - 3.5/5
For a beer at 8% ABV it does a good job of hiding the fact. A strong ale with sweet, malty characteristics, there is no real hint of its high ABV. Tasty and easy to drink, one bottle of this beer will Karate kick you in the face. This Hitachino Beer, like the last two I tried erupted with foam as soon as I popped the bottle cap, hinting of a long, shaky journey to Canada.
From the Land of the Rising Sun.
Keystone Lager – Cheap Lager (5%) – 3/5
This beer was shockingly good. Not shockingly good in the way of excellently crafted beer, but rather shockingly good because I excepted it to taste like awful and it did not. A light palette of standard lager flavours, this cheap branded beer is still quite enjoyable, with hardly any strong aftertaste. For only $17 for a 15 pack this may be my beer of choice on day where volume is more important than quality.
