TOPFIT Daily Activities --- Jacksonville Trails Run and a Leg Workout
It seems that today was all about thrashing my legs.  It started when the Sirens of the Jacksonville Woodlands Trails were calling my name......specifically Liz.  Oh, she can be a nasty one.  After Zig(ler) zagging my way to the (South) Fork in the trail, and to the point of almost being hoisted by my own Petard, I was lured in by Liz......she was gentle in the beginning, but the last, steep, couple hundred yards leading to the loop just about killed me.  Then the choice......turn to the left for the guaranteed burn or to the right for the optional hurl?  I chose to the right, but opted out of the actual hurl.
It was an awesome run.....one of the best I've had recently in spite of (or because of?) the Sirens doing their best to have their way with me.
(Sorry for the obscure references above.....a few of you will understand)
A little bit later I spent some time in my gym doing BB front squats, DB walking lunges, SB leg curls, and calf raises.
