That's right. A skull crusher is a triceps extension exercise. You lie on a flat bench and hold a weighted bar with a close grip extended above you (like you just completed a close grip bench press). Keeping your upper arms perpendicular to you and the bench, you flex you elbows and lower the bar towards your forehead (slowly!). Once the bar is about an inch from your forehead, you extend your elbows still keeping your upper arms perpendicular back to the extended position. It gives your triceps a good workout.
Anyway, Thursday:
-Slow jog 3/4 of a mile to where I have my intervals measured out along the road and where I can run on the gravel next to the road.
-Interval runs - 4 x 350m with a one minute rest between runs.
-Walk part of the 3/4 of a mile back and then slow jog the rest of the way as soon as I get my breathing somewhat normalized.
