Although I didn't plan on doing any exercise today, I ended up going on a 45 minute walk....well, ok....it was with Hailey and it was only a little over a mile....there was a lot of stopping and exploring along the way with a little running thrown in. Plus, we spent a little over an hour running around the house and yard.....that is one active little girl!

Heavy Bag x 2
I started and ended the day with 30 minute heavy bag workouts. Lots of chores, errands and business related activities filled the space between them.

Lower Table Rock, Yard Work and a Back Workout
It was a slow business day so I took advantage of the extra time and hiked Lower Table Rock, mowed and edged the yard and did a good back workout of weighted chinups, 1 arm low cable rows, bodyweight pullups and hanging scapular depression/retraction.

Pushing Through a Good Workout
Today I gave my legs a bit of a break and did a good pushing/chest workout of BB bench presses, DB flye/press supersets and ring pushups. Later, Clista and I went on a brisk 1+ mile walk.

Upper Table Rock, Walking and Running
The Table Rock Sirens were calling me this morning so I tackled Upper Table Rock with a nice run.
In the afternoon, I did several brisk warmup/cooldown walks with clients and we even threw in a little bit of running.
Now, it's definitely time to give my legs a rest.....running Saturday, hiking/running Sunday, brutal leg workout Monday, running today......the pain is setting in!

Leg Workout
I'll probably be feeling this tomorrow (with any luck...LOL).
Today's workout was all about the legs.....front squats, SLDLs, stationary lunges w/50# DBs and calf raises.
Haven't done a workout like that in a while.

The Past Week
This week my body said it needed a break, so I backed off considerably on the volume and intensity of activity. Even so, I still did several hours of yard work, lots of brisk walking, a little running, a couple of heavy bag workouts and a great Table Rock run/hike.
