Run in Mud Obstacle Race Training-6/9/14

I set my alarm for 5 am to begin my traditional Monday 6.2 mile run and obstacle workout. However, with the grumbling in the clouds, it sounded like another thunder storm on the way. One of many this weekend and of several more to come.

I rolled over to put the morning in the books and slept another hour.

Instead of a long run, I focused on my core and set about it after work. Modifying a workout routine is tough, especially when you start messing with your run fix, but I did what I had to do.

Sets of pull ups/chin ups/alternate grip pull ups until 50
30 leg lifts
Sets of pushups until 100
Sets of squats until 150
Plank for 2 minutes
Plank on each side for 1 minute
Plank on right side. Lift left arm all the way up and back and then to the floor and back behind you 10 times. Use weights if you can.
Switch sides
Do this two times

Feel free to mix up the sets in any combination.

Swim .25 miles

Run 1.3 miles.
