The TRs

Since I'm still a bit in rest and recovery mode, I didn't run the Table Rocks today......I just power hiked them both and even took some time to take some cool pics.

A Little More Upper Body Workout

Still giving the lower body a little bit of a break from the high intensity stuff today so after walking the Beast 4 times and going on a good hour long bike ride I stimulated the upper body some more with a workout of BB bench presses, supersets of DB flyes/DB presses, decline pushups and crunches.

A Little Upper Body Workout

Since yesterday kind of thrashed my lower body, I stimulated the upper body a little today with some weighted pullups, one arm high cable rows, DB rear delt flyes, back extensions, bodyweight chinups and 20 mins on the heavy bag.

Mt. Ashland Meadows

Today, in part to prepare for the SOB, Clista and I ran/hiked the Mt. Ashland Meadows portion of the PCT--TWICE! We ran over 8 miles of the total of 13.2 miles of trail.
Now that it's clear of snow, this trail will be a great addition to the TrailFit hikes......who's up for a great fitness experience?

Upper Table Rock

Went on a fantastic hike on Upper Table Rock with Clista. Due to the heat, and tomorrow's more intense plans, we kept it to a moderate paced hike instead of a run today.

Pickin' Strawberries and Leg Workout

I started my morning by spending about an hour picking strawberries.....lots to eat fresh and plenty of frozen ones to make smoothies with too. Later in the afternoon, I did a good leg workout of DB squats, DB stationary lunges, SB leg curls and calf raises.
