It was a busy day, but I still made time for a good 2 mile run with Clista in addition to lots of VRAs and warmup/cooldown walks with a client.

What Does 300 Calories Really Look Like?
Some of their choices for "healthy" foods are highly processed, too low in protein and certainly not what I would choose or recommend, but they make a valid point about how much more you can eat when you start making healthier choices and eat at home compared to eating out.

Pullups, Heavy Bag and X-Trainer
Today I played the part of a wuss and didn't go out in the driving rain for a hike. Instead, I did a workout following the same format as yesterday......30 mins of weighted pullups, 30 mins on the heavy bag and 30 mins on the x-trainer.

Bench Press, Heavy Bag and X-Trainer

Table Rocks and Tabatas
I had a great hike up both Table Rocks today. This time I took the Table Rock Creek routes. In drier weather they're trails, but today there was a pretty steady stream of water flowing down and it made for a squishy, sloshy, soaking wet hike.....in other words, one helluva fantastic hike!! Afterwards, I did a quick workout of Tabata pullups, pushups, SB crunches and squats.

Legs
In addition to a brisk 1 mile walk with a client this afternoon, I also made time for a quick workout of front squats, stationary DB lunges and calf raises.
I'm giving myself one more week of lighter and lower intensity workouts to help recover from an intense end to 2010, but I'll pick up the pace soon.

Upper Table Rock and Heavy Bag
Upper Table Rock beckoned today.....it was a bit frosty on the way up, but by the time I came down the trail was a sticky muddy mess.....in other words, a great hike! Afterward I spent 30 mins on the heavy bag.

Lower Table Rock
Today Clista and I got above the fog and hiked/ran Lower Table Rock. It ran the gamut from foggy to sunny, and icy to muddy.
