Upper Table Rock and a Push/Pull Workout

FROGS!! This morning I did a great Upper Table Rock run and I got soaked! It seems the frogs like this weather too. Both yesterday on LTR and today on UTR, the frogs were out in force. There was an almost deafening cacophony of croaking on the plateaus…..very surreal…..like some sort of Hitchcock movie.
And then, there's nothing like a good push-pull workout to compliment a TR run.....in the afternoon I did a quick, moderately heavy workout of bench press and deadlift supersets.

Common Terms and General Notes


The Punisher -- a narrow forest trail that gains about 1500 ft elevation in a little over a mile. The full circuit includes a run/hike of about 1 mile to get to the trailhead and about a 3 mile run/hike to get back down. This makes the Table Rocks seem like a walk in the park.

Tabatas -- high intensity interval protocol where an exercise is done at full 100% intensity for 20 seconds followed by 10 seconds of rest -- the default number of these intervals is 8 -- done properly, these will knock you on your butt!!

Various Random Activities (VRAs) -- these may include such things as gardening, housework, ADL, XST, ASA, short walks, etc........use your imagination.

Abbreviations -- DB=dumbbell -- BB=barbell -- SB=stability ball -- KB=kettlebell -- MB=medicine ball -- SLDL=straight (or stiff) leg deadlifts
