White Rabbit and Uhtoff Trails

This morning Clista, Alek (her son) and I went on a great hike up the White Rabbit and Uhtoff trails above Ashland. It was raining and hailing but the views were still great.....and the BBQ afterward was awesome!

Stepping Stones

It was going to be a rest day and although I didn't do any "exercise" I did spend a couple of hours in the rain and mud setting in some stepping stones.

5k Run and Upper Body Resistance

Even after yesterday's 5k running and sprinting, I still felt like going on a 5k run around the hood this morning......it was a bit chilly out, but perfect for a run. Later I did a good workout of bench press, weighted pullups, MB plyo presses and MB plyo pullovers.

Savannah Loop 5k Sprint, Run, Walk

This evening Clista and I did a 5k training run on the Lower Table Rock Savannah Loop....intervals of sprinting, running and walking. The sprinting was on the uphill portion and even though it wasn't very steep it kicked our butts!

Heavy Bag

Because it was a busy day and having done so much yesterday, the only exercise I made time for today was 30 mins on the heavy bag.....it was enough though.

Lower Table Rock PR, Heavy Bag, Walks and Gardening

It's been a non-stop day of activity! Client sessions which included three 1/2 mile warmup/cooldown walks and one 1+ mile cooldown walk were only part of the day. In the morning I set a new record running up Lower Table Rock (19:29) plus I ran across the plateau and back down the hill, then I did a good 30 min heavy bag workout. In the evening I helped Clista do some heavy gardening.
It might be time for a break soon.

Tabatas

It was a really busy day with not a lot of time to workout, so Tabatas seemed to fit the bill just perfectly.....pullups, pushups, crunches and squats.

Upper and Lower Table Rocks Plus Some Oly Lifting

It turned out to be a great day to run both Table Rocks today.....I haven't done a double in a long time. In the afternoon I squeezed in a quick oly lifting workout before heading back out for business.

Heavy Bag and 110 Pushups

I started my day with a 30 min heavy bag workout and in the afternoon set a new pushup record with 110 non-stop pushups. After that I did a couple of brisk 1/2 mile warmup/cooldown walks with clients.

5k Run and Yard Work

I had just enough time before leaving this morning to go on a great 5k run......the weather was just perfect for it too.
In the evening I made time to get some yard work done.

Jacksonville Hike

After going on a 1+ mile walk with the kids and playing with Hailey for a couple of hours, I went on a relaxing 2 hr hike with Clista on the Jacksonville Trails......the spring flowers are starting to cover the hills.

Today's workout was all about plyometrics....45 mins of upper and lower body plyos.
Plus, in the evening Clista and I went on a brisk 1+ mile walk.

LTR and Heavy Lifting

I had a great run/hike on Lower Table Rock this morning...... sun, fog, rain, snow, wind.....I got it all today. Plus, my hiking companion was a lot less dangerous than the cougars I hiked with 2 weeks ago on the Punisher....I followed a turkey up the trail for a few hundred yards and he set a nice, fast pace!
In the afternoon I did a heavy full body workout of BB bench presses, DB rows and DB stationary lunges.

Life Drawing Modeling

I didn't do a workout today, but 3 hours of isometric contractions while posing for a life drawing class might just leave a mark.

A Light Day of Circuits and Walking

I kept things a little on the light side again today with 30 mins of pullups, pushups, lunges, jump rope and heavy bag followed a little later with a 1/2 mile and a 1+ mile walk with clients.

Heavy Bag

It seemed like a good day to take it easy so all I made time for today was 30 mins on the heavy bag and a few chores around the house.

Walk, Play, Hike

I got my day off to a great start with a couple of 1/2 mile warmup/cooldown walks with the kids followed by a couple of hours of high energy play with Hailey. Afterward, Clista and I hiked Lower Table Rock.

Yard Work

Yard work, and a lot of it, was the exercise of the day! Clista and I spent the whole afternoon pruning trees and bushes in her back yard. I might just be feeling this tomorrow.

Yard Work/Gardening = Rest Day?
