It was a nice little quad-pumpin' 35 minutes.
Thanks to Todd for hiking backwards with me and to Laurie for joining us, putting up with our craziness, taking pics and giving us encouragement.

Backwards Lower Table Rock Hike
To celebrate and commemorate my 100th Table Rock run/hike of 2012 I decided to hike Lower Table Rock backwards today.
It was a nice little quad-pumpin' 35 minutes.
Thanks to Todd for hiking backwards with me and to Laurie for joining us, putting up with our craziness, taking pics and giving us encouragement.

Upper Body Workout and Heavy Bag
Energy was up today so I started off with a good upper body workout of BB bench presses, DB shoulder presses, ring dips, decline pushups (feet elevated 40 inches) and SB oblique crunches.....4-5 sets of each.
A bit later I spent 30 minutes on the heavy bag.

Upper Table Rock and Yard Work
After taking a much needed break from working out yesterday, I headed out to Upper Table Rock this morning for a great run. Afterward, I spent some time on yard and garden work.

Lower Table Rock
After remaining motionless for the better part of 3 hours modelling for one of my favorite group of artists, I needed to get out and move......but, my body was telling me to take a break after so many days of activity. So Laurie and I headed out to Lower Table Rock for a relaxed paced hike.....just what we both needed as it turned out.

Upper Table Rock
I managed to get out between rain storms today for a great Upper Table Rock run. The recent rains actually made the trail just right!
A couple of brisk 1/2 mile warmup/cooldown walks with a client finished off the day perfectly.

Back Workout and a Couple of Walks
I took a break from the trails today and in addition to a couple of brisk walks in the rain with Laurie, I did a back workout of weighted pullups (25 lbs), DB rows (max reps with 105 lbs - 165 lbs working up 10 lbs per set) and bodyweight chinups.
