Run in Mud Obstacle Race Training-6/30/14

No run today, but a heck of a work out.  I couldn't sleep last night, so I pushed my alarm as late as I could and still make it to work on time. Then it was just too hot by the time work was over, so I pushed my limits in other ways.

I try to run a 20 mile week over a 5 day period. Not that I don't workout, but my body requires a two day rest from pounding the trails. I'm still active though with walking, sports and exercises of all sorts. Sundays are different. That's my Sabbath and I completely rest on these days.

However, this week I missed a day and had to make up about 4.5 miles.For me, running on a Saturday is an unusual event. Today I look forward to seeing new sites, traffic patterns and different runners as I run on a non-workday.

Run 4.5 miles
30 push ups
30 air squats
30 sit ups
5 pull ups with leg lifts
5 chin ups with leg lifts
5 alternate grip pull ups with leg lifts
swim 1/3 mile.
