Pull 'n' Punch
Nothing to innovative or exciting today, just a workout of weighted and unweighted pullups and pushups plus some DB rows. This was followed by 20 mins on the heavy bag.....oh, and walking 1 lap of Elmo.

Just Another Manic Monday
After taking care of business earlier in the day, I think I almost burned off half of the pie I ate yesterday.......I did Upper Table Rock again. I ran up....actually only ran about 20% and power hiked the rest....and ran down......took 3 mins off each direction from what I did last time that I power hiked it......I did it in 18:00 up and 11:30 down. I might have to go back up again tomorrow to get the lung I think I spit up somewhere near the top though.........
After this I did a quick chest workout of BB bench presses, supersets of DB flyes and DB bench presses, and ring pushups.
I finished the day off with a couple hours of volleyball.

Walking and Snatches
I started the day doing two 1/2 mile warmup/cooldown walks with RF, followed that with a good workout of snatches, power snatches and pushups, and finished the day with an hour long walk. Almost like a rest day.....LOL.

Upper Table Rock Revisited Again
Today's weather was fantastic for hiking Upper Table Rock......the only problem was that everyone in the frikkin' valley thought the same thing.

Another Great Bike Ride
Other than a fair amount of activity around the house and yard, the only exercise I made time for today was a great hour long bike ride.

More Beast and Circuits
The day got off to a good start with 3 laps of the Beast. Then I did a max rep set of pushups.....75...gotta get to 100 by the end of May since I've got a challenge going with a client...she's aiming for 50. I followed this with 5 circuits of the following:
handstand pushups x 5
pullups x 10
squats x 15
pushups x 20
crunches x 25
And, I'm still feeling all those lunges I did on Tuesday......ow, ow, ow.......
