Fun under a bridge I-Beam

Hill workout today in preparation of the Warrior Dash Alabama event coming up November 2, 2013. 

This time, begin with 10 burpees. Then, run a mile through the hilliest parts of your neighborhood (or find a hilly place). Take time at one of the hills to do a repeat event. Run up and down the hill five times and do 10 burpees at the top each time. 

Throw this additional exercise in. Along the route, run a few yards on the curb. It will help with the Warrior Dash balance obstacle.

Run home and do 10 more burpees.

Rope climb x 2

Monkey bars x 2

Crawl 20 feet

Stretch

In the end the run turned out to be a 5k.
