A Moderate Day
I started the day with 2 laps of the Beast, followed that with a quick workout of supersets of bench press and pullups, and ended the day by running up Elmo. Not quite up to yesterday's activity level, but I'm not sure I could do that 2 days in a row anyway.

Great Hikes And Much, Much More
I got my day off to a great start by hiking both Table Rocks ....Lower and Upper.....these are hikes that they say will take 2-3 hours each....HA!......they should never take that long, but I power hiked up and did a light jog down..........So, Lower Table Rock......24 mins up, 14 mins each way walking to the end of the plateau and back, and 18 mins down.Upper Table Rock......21 mins up, about 3.5 mins each way walking to the west end of the plateau and back, and 14.5 mins down........hot diggity damn.......almost like a workout.....heheeeeeeee..............woo hoo..........
Then I spent a couple hours doing yard work followed by a couple hours of volleyball.

Too Many Light Days
Another fairly light day. In addition to various light activities, I did about 1/2 hour of circuits of pullups, KB swings, pushups, squats, crunches and back extensions.
Finally, our state government is doing something worthwhile -- http://www.oregonlive.com/news/index.ssf/2009/04/lawmakers_have_your_backs_oreg.html

Heavy Bag And Pushups
The day was full of all sorts of activities, but the only thing that qualified as "exercise" was 30 mins on the heavy bag and 3 sets of max reps pushups.

Pretty Much A Rest Day
Seemed like a good day to take a break, so all I did was 1 lap of the Beast and a bunch of cleaning etc around the house.

Pullups and X-Trainer
Another fairly simple day......a 30 min workout of bodyweight and progressively heavier weighted pullups followed by 20 mins on the x-trainer was it for the day.
