The Punisher and White Rabbit

I decided to do the Punisher again and this time I took a little detour on the way down and did the White Rabbit out and back......that made for about 9 miles total of trail running/power hiking and one hell of a lot of hills!

Light Upper Body

Oh yeah....I'm feeling yesterday's activities! Since everything in the lower body is sore, I decided to do a light upper body workout today.....5 circuits of handstand pushups x 5, pullups x 10, back extensions x 15 and crunches x 20.....basically an active recovery day.

Jacksonville Trails and A Lot More

I got my Memorial Day weekend off to an awesome start with a 2+ hr hike with Leah followed by a 1+ hr bike ride. Then after taking care of some business, I did about an hour of yard work and a great leg workout of front squats, SLDLs, calf raises and weighted stationary lunges. With a start like this, I just might get everything done this weekend that I had planned.

Jacksonville Trails 10k -- Carpe Trailem

CARPE TRAILEM!! I decided to seize the trail and exorcise some demons today so I went to the J-Ville trails and ran a little over 10k......I think I might have succeeded in exorcising the demons because when I finished, my gps read 6.66 miles (or maybe I just made things worse...LOL).

Upper Body

Since I gave my legs such a good anaerobic and aerobic beating yesterday, I decided to do a good upper body workout today.....weighted pullups, DB rows, chinups, BB bench presses, supersets of DB flyes & DB presses, and supersets of hanging scapular depression/retraction & ring pushups. After this I spent 20 mins on the heavy bag. Later I walked Elmo twice with clients.

The Punisher

I took on the Punisher again today. Not quite a record setting pace, but it kicked my butt anyway.

Bells, Rings, Balls and Bag

Plyometric boxes, kettlebells, gymnastic rings, medicine balls and the heavy bag for about 80 mins made for a great Sunday afternoon workout.

Lower Table Rock

Even though it was cold and windy, and there was a threat of rain and lightning, Clista and I hiked up and across Lower Table Rock this evening. After the first 5 mins we had the whole place to ourselves.....I guess the weather scared off everyone else.

A Good Full Body Workout

Today I made time for a good full body workout of BB front squats, BB bench press, BB rows, pullups and pushups. I let the weather intimidate me and didn't get outside for a bike ride like I had planned.

The Table Rocks and Yard Work

I took advantage of the nice weather today and ran/power hiked both Table Rocks this morning. On LTR I ran about 90% of the way up and all of the plateau out and back, and the whole way down. On UTR I only ran about 50% of the way up and then all the way down. In the afternoon I spent about an hour doing some much needed yard work.

Once again, I kept things fairly light.  I started the day by walking the Beast twice and in the afternoon spent 1/2 hr on the heavy bag.

The Beast and LTR

I took it a little easier today and started by walking the Beast twice and ended the day with a great hike up Lower Table Rock with Clista and Rob (who set a new PR time on the way up....yay Rob). On the plateau it was really cold and windy, but it just made for a more memorable, invigorating and awesome hike!

Table Rocks With A Weight Vest On

After walking the Beast twice and wrapping up business early today, I power hiked both Table Rocks with a 30 pound weight vest on. After this, I mowed the lawn and did a workout of weighted chinups, DB rows, DB rear delt flyes and bodyweight pullups. Then, since the weather was still so great, Clista and I went on a 50 min bike ride. Plus, I rounded out the day's activities with lots of VRAs.

What did you do to feel alive today?

Push and Punch

After all the recent hikes and runs, my lower body is a bit fatigued. So, I thought I'd concentrate on the upper body today. I did a good "pushing" workout of BB bench presses, DB flye/press supersets, ring pushups and DB shoulder presses. I followed that with 30 mins on the heavy bag.

Anyone else get a good workout today?

Lower Table Rock Piggyback

Had a great time with Clista, her son, his girlfriend and my son on Lower Table Rock today. I even carried Clista piggyback for part of the way up and down.
