Jacksonville Trails
It was a perfect morning to hike and run the Jacksonville Woodlands trails with Clista. Unfortunately, I couldn't spend all day exploring them since a ton of errands, chores and business were waiting for attention.

Heavy Bag
This afternoon after taking care of business, instead of getting some yard work done in this beautiful sunny weather, I did 15 rounds on the heavy bag.....3 minute rounds with 1 minute rests.

More Upper Body and the White Rabbit
This morning I made time for a quick workout of weighted pullups, BB rows, DB rear delt flyes and chinups. I followed this with a hike/run on the White Rabbit trail with Clista in the afternoon......the rain was pounding, the wind was howling and it was awesome!

Bike and Upper Body Workout
After a couple of fairly inactive recovery days, I found time today to go on an hour long bike ride followed by a workout of bench presses, supersets of DB flyes/DB presses, decline pushups and DB shoulder presses. Later I spent 20 mins on the heavy bag.

A Light Upper Body Day
It seemed like time to give my legs a little break today, so I did a moderately paced workout consisting of supersets of pullups/ring pushups, chinups/ring dips and SB back extensions/SB crunches. I followed this with 20 mins on the heavy bag.

LTR
Another great afternoon of hiking and running with Clista......spent several hours hiking up Lower Table Rock, exlporing the plateau, running down and then running a lap around the savannah.
