Jacksonville Trails, Back Workout and Lots of Walking

I had another great 1.5 hr trail run on the J-Ville Trails this morning, followed by a good workout of DB rows, weighted pullups, DB rear delt flyes, chinups and hanging scapular depression/retraction. Later, in addition to lots of VRAs, I had some good walks with a client and Clista.

Upper Table Rock and a Chest Workout

Even though it was 90 degrees today, I could still hear the Table Rocks calling me. So I ran Upper Table Rock......the first lap wasn't too bad considering the heat, but the second lap kicked my ass.....and got a few strange looks from people.
And because my upper body was feeling a little bit left out, I followed the run with a workout of BB bench presses, DB flye/press supersets and steep angle decline pushups.

SOB Re-Do Plus A Little Extra

Today, Clista and I re-ran/hiked the SOB route that we did in July's race and actually added a couple of miles to it for a total of 11+ miles.

Bike and Heavy Bag

Today was a moderate day of basically aerobic activity. In the afternoon, I went on a good 1+ hr bike ride and in the evening I spent 30 mins on the heavy bag. A few chores around the house added to the day's activities.

Lithia Park

This afternoon Clista and I spent about an hour running the trails in Lithia Park. After a fantastic stir fry dinner, we went on a short walk. Lot's of VRAs rounded out the day nicely again.

Upper Table Rock

It seems that the Lower Table Rock trail is closed for a week or two for maintenance, so I only ran Upper Table Rock today. I also managed a nice walk with Clista and lots of VRAs to help round out the day nicely.

Yard Work and Pyramid Circuits

My long neglected yard finally got the attention it needed this afternoon with about 1.5 hrs of intense work. In the evening, I did circuits of 25, 20, 15, 10, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 reps of pullups, ring pushups, crunches and squats.

X-Trainer

Between business and chores it turned into a pretty busy day, but I did make time for 30 mins on the x-trainer. A little lighter on the activity than I had planned, but it will have to do for today.

After taking a much needed day off from exercise yesterday, this morning I got up early enough to spend 30 mins of quality time with my heavy bag and this afternoon I ran/power hiked both Table Rocks.

White Rabbit, Uhtoff and Blackberry Pie

Today, Clista and I ran/hiked the White Rabbit and Uhtoff trails above Ashland. The Uhtoff trail is fairly new and we hadn't run it before, but I think it could become one of our favorites.

Afterward, we (mostly Clista) picked wild blackberries and she made me the BEST blackberry pie I've ever had.....YUMMY!!

Even though I have had a few active recovery days, it's been far too long since I had a total rest day.....so, I took today off from exercise.

Wagner Butte and Heavy Bag

Today I ran/power hiked (mostly ran) Wagner Butte….2200 ft elev gain (topping out at 7200 feet) in just under 5 miles. Plus, since my upper body still wasn’t as worn out as my lower body, I spent 30 mins on the heavy bag.

Today I did a quick workout I call the TOPFIT 400......100 reps each of chinups (usually do pullups), pushups, squats and crunches. All in all, kind of a light day.

Heavy Bag

The only thing I made time for today was a 15 round bout with the heavy bag....3 min rounds with 1 min rests. It ended in a split decision....the bag is still hanging and I'm still standing.
