I have GOT to try this out. Incorporates the same muscle movements as my routine.

I will hike in the evening instead of run, depending on the humidity. It's supposed to be 92 F with dew points of 75 on Wednesday , implying down time for hiking and slowing down my exercise.

Good to hear about your leg press gains!
He does crossfit. Many of the CF "boxes" (gyms) post their workouts on line....maybe you can get some additional ideas there. For example, check out this site > http://ftffit.com/wod/

Did 30 minutes on the treadmill, steady state for about 25 minutes, 4 minutes of intervals.

I admit sometimes I get caught up in the 'steady state cardio is bad' mantra being preached these days.

But my body just seems to do well on that sort of cardio.

I also did about 5 sets of pullups, 5 sets of one arm dumbbell rows, and arm curls.

I was under the impression that crossfit was super difficult. But on reading the descriptions it doesn't sound that bad and looks wholesome. I could always begin a bit slowly and build up over time. Thing is that grad school will be very busy for me, and I need some advice on how to incorporate crossfit workouts with a busy class + research schedule.

I like that because it hits my upper body, core and legs before I head out for my cardio run. I got a late start today (its 6:43 AM) so Im still finishing my cup of coffee before doing the same workout (always on an empty stomach).

I LOVE running in hot humid temps. It should be 97 degrees here (Los Angeles/Valley) today and even now humidity is 87%. PERFECT running weather.
