Today I made time for a good back workout of weighted pullups, 1 arm high cable rows, hanging scapular retraction/depression and chinups. After a quick snack, I spent 30 mins on the heavy bag.

Upper Table Rock and a Chest Workout
Since I took a break from any significant activity yesterday to get caught up on paperwork, taxes, files and other business/financial chores, I made a point of finding time today to get plenty of activity.
I started the day with a great Upper Table Rock run in the rain and in the afternoon did a chest workout of BB bench presses, supersets of DB flyes and DB presses, and ring pushups.

Upper Table Rock
Another busy day, but I still made time for a quick and awesome Upper Table Rock run.
I also got in a couple of miles worth of brisk walks with a friend and a client.

Heavy Bag and Lower Table Rock
I got my day started with a good 30 minute heavy bag workout....after that, the day took on a stressed filled, hectic life of it's own. Fortunately, things calmed down by mid afternoon and I was able to get out for a great Lower Table Rock run with a friend.

Upper Table Rock
In addition to a couple of brisk walks with a client today, I made time for an intense Upper Table Rock run. I did break stride just long enough to take pics of the wildflowers that are starting to bloom...there was a stiff breeze, so it was hard to focus, but I managed to get a decent pic or two.

Kettlebells
Today, the only activity I made time for was a fun kettlebell workout of 1 arm swings, snatches and clean & presses. It's definitely turning out to be a week of lighter intensity and volume, which I guess I kind of needed.

Lower Table Rock Run
The weather was absolutely awesome today and I just happened to have time in the afternoon to take advantage of it. I headed out to Lower Table Rock for a great run....it was definitely short sleeves weather.
