I started my day with Yaya (aka Hailey) playing, building, reading and singing....what a great way to get the day started!
Afterward, I had an exhilarating Lower Table Rock run.....after a moderately paced 25 minute power hike up, I ran around the east edge to the south end of the plateau (this is NOT your flatlander’s easy, obstacle free, flat and level trail…it’s rocky and bobs and weaves around obstacles and in and out of gullies….YeeHaw!). Then I ran the main trail back across the plateau and down the hill.
Then, since I had just a little energy left after my Table Rock run, I went to the gym and did a workout of Hammer Strength high rows, seated cable rows, Hammer Strength bench presses, incline DB bench presses, seated DB curls and cable pressdowns.

Here’s a great little tip for keeping your posture correct while driving. When you first get in your car, sit up straight and adjust your rear view mirror. If you notice after a little driving that you need to re-adjust your mirror, try re-adjusting your posture instead. Typically, you will start to slump a little and the result is you can’t see out of your rear view mirror as well as you did when you first adjusted it---most likely your mirror didn’t move and you just need to correct your posture. So, use your mirror to remind you to sit up straight----your back and neck will thank you.
