Variety
In addition to walking the Beast once and doing about 150 walking lunges with a client this morning, I also spent 1/2 hour doing random intervals of various DB, KB and bodyweight exercises. Then I spent 1/2 hour on the x-trainer.....haven't done that in quite awhile.

Another Light Day?
How's this for a light day? All I did was 2 laps each of the Beast and Elmo......of course, we lunged up Elmo one of those times, and in record time.......I might just be feeling that tomorrow.

Lower Table Rock With The Boys
Did another run/hike up and across the top of Lower Table Rock again today. This time with Clista and several of the boys from her school. A couple of the boys and I really challenged each other on the runs....I might be feeling this for a couple of days.

A Mixed Bag of Activity
This has been a really mixed week of activity.....nothing totally outstanding, but lots of various workouts that have kept me active while still giving my body a bit of recovery.
Over the course of the week I've walked the Beast and Elmo several times, gone on a couple of trail runs/hikes, spent some quality time with my heavy bag a couple of times, did a nice workout of bench presses, DB rows, pullups and pushups, did some circuits with Rob this morning consisting of squat thrusts, squats, pullups, pushups and crunches along with good warmup and cooldown walks, and threw in lots of VRAs to round the week out.

Mill Creek Falls and Natural Bridge
Spent many hours hiking around the Prospect neck of the woods today......Mill Creek Falls and surrounding area, Natural Bridge and further along the Rogue River and Union Creek. No trail running today.....spent a little more time taking in the fantastic views and letting our bodies recover from all the trail running we've been doing lately.

100s
Since my hiking date wussed out on me this morning (don't worry Debra, I won't name names), I decided to do a nice little workout of 100 reps each of pullups, squat thrusts, pushups, stability ball (SB) crunches, SB back extensions, SB leg curls, SB tucks, squats and calf raises.

Union Creek Hike
Went on an approx 3.5 hour hike and run up and down the Union Creek trail today. What a fantastic hike....it was a little chilly (actually damn cold at times) and really, really wet (totally and completely soaked from the waist down due to a trail overgrown with dripping wet ferns), but absolutely beautiful and worth it!

Still keeping things fairly light, but I did walk the Beast 4 times and followed this with a nice hike up and across Lower Table Rock.
