Thrusters
After 1 lap of the Beast this morning, I did a workout of 10 sets of 10 reps of BB thrusters, 5 sets of 5 reps of overhead squats and followed that with some quality time on the heavy bag.

Lighter Day
Once again, I decided I needed a lighter day and this time I did it......I limited myself to only 1 lap of the Beast, about 300 yards of walking lunges and an hour long bike ride. The day ended with 1 lap of Elmo (walking and running). A nice recovery day.

Not Quite The Plan But It Was Fun
After the Grizzly Peak loop hike yesterday, I thought I'd take it easy today.......didn't quite happen that way though.........I ended up running both Table Rocks........well, I ran all the way down both and about 50% of the way up (which is an improvement from last time). That was after walking the Beast twice.
After this I squeezed in a workout of bench presses and BB rows.
Since volleyball was cancelled, I also spent 20 mins on the heavy bag.

What A Fantastic Day!
The day started of great with a workout with RF that included supersets of jump pullups and pushups plus supersets of kettlebell swings and crunches in addition to the 1 mile warmup and 1/2 mile cooldown walks.
On my first set of pushups, I set a new personal record of 85 pushups.....well on my way to the goal of 100.
Later I went on a great 2.5+ hr hike with CP.
Throw in the other various random activities and it made for quite a day.

Too Active To Exercise?
No workout today, but I'd say it was a pretty active day........for the last 9 hours I've been going non-stop with laundry, mopping, vacuuming, client sessions, paperwork, bills, yard work, more laundry, more yard work, dusting.......oh good grief, make it stop.....LOL. More various random activities to follow too.
At least I got out in this fantastic weather for part of the day.

A Great Day For A Bike Ride
Since the weather was so perfect for it, I went on a great hour long bike ride. I followed this with a quick workout of pullups and pushups in addition to some various random activities.
