So, rather like the stubborn coot that I am, I laced on the shoes and had a go at the 3 mile loop again today. 25 degrees cooler and a nice breeze and I did a lot better. Still embarassing, but at least not pathetic.

So, I thought to self, “self” I said: I’m going for a run… I’ll run the 3 mile loop. Boy how pathetic that was. Yes, it was 85 degrees, yes, the pollen count was probably out the roof, yes my shoes are old and should be replaced. None of which justifies just how pathetic that…

Workout group had about a dozen folks show up. Warm Up and Mobility Standard Fair Did a bunch of triplets, with medicine balls. 4-6 rounds of each triplet. Mostly today was about mental toughness. Just had to keep going. “J” added metabolic work on the last rounds, so about 60-90 seconds of Burpees, or Jumping…

Today was kind of a bust. Not really surprising after yesterdays high. I rowed for 10 minutes, did some lack luster OHS, and Dumbbell Snatch, gave up and did some stretching. My shoulder was tender too, so that kinda damped things down a bit. I’m sure that like everyone else I struggle with the whole…

About dozen folks. Medicine ball Warm up. Some mobility stuff, lunge and quad stretch, inch worms and so on. Did some work with hurdles, high steps, and some over under stuff. Fun, and great for hips. Medicine ball tosses combined with sprinting, basically the length of the football field. Did a version of running the…
