This week has been a mish-mash of workouts. It started out with running early in the week but with a crazy schedule it was time for other things. I also had about 11 straight days of workouts and by Friday I needed a day of rest.
Wednesday was a Swings workout - 300 Swings with the 45# kettlebell. I did 200 at once, rested until 7 minutes ticked away on the stopwatch (roughly 1:15 of rest) and then did another 100.
Thursday was a return to my indoor bike. 10 miles done in about 27 minutes of time. I just ordered a new Fat Bike this week, so I felt the need to get back with my bike riding, even on an indoor setting for now. When weather gets nice, I will get more on my bike outside, especially with the Fat Bike.
For those wondering, this is what my new bike will look like:
Later on, Friday just didn't feel like a workout day for me. I took the morning off with intentions of an afternoon workout, and after work, my body just didn't want to start into it.
This morning was time for a total body routine with a new set of adjustable dumbbells I bought. I wanted a new change to my workout plan and I kind of missed dumbbell routines.
It was a Dumbbell Thruster routine of Squat, curl, then press in a continuous fashion, going for 5 reps in 20s of work and 10s rest. I was able to go for 100 reps in 10 minutes of time, calling it off at the end of that. I figured that would be a good point to stop since it was a new workout to add.
The workouts in general lately have been quite the cross-training mix. From runs to kettlebells to bikes and dumbbells, there's something to do different each day.
Once weather gets more consistently nice out, I feel I will run and bike more in the afternoons/evenings and use my mornings for brief KB and DB workouts to add in strength/power workouts to the plan. That seems to workout the best for me at the moment. When its nice in the mornings, I do enjoy a hard run or some speed sessions to do.

As for coffee lately, its been a return to some basic coffee for a change, as I'm waiting for my OG coffee to be ordered in early April and arrive to me.
My BPC versions are still the same, just with Eight O'Clock's Columbian Perks instead. I still prefer OG Black Gold, but it will do for now.
If you aren't into K-cups (they have been getting some bad press lately because of so many of them not being recyclable plastic), then you might want to check into the individual sachets of OG's Gourmet Black Coffee. You get 30 sachets in a box, and you can take them anywhere with you. I have them at work for an afternoon cup. Plus all you toss away is a small sachet and not an un-recyclable cup.
