    1) 1 hour hill run. Steep hills. Light effort.
    2) 1 hour hike. Leisurely.
    3) Bouldering (gym) about 12 routes in 30 minutes. Calisthenics. Sit-ups, crunches, bicycles, toe touches, alt toe touches, leg raises, push-ups.
    4) 45 minute ruck. Steep hills. 40 lbs. Aberaging about a 17 min mile which is a little slower than I'd like for the level of exertion I was feeling. Humidity? Illness?
    5) 1 hour leisure hike.

    Food: on target.

    Tomorrow: I'd like to get some HITT in tomorrow. My cardio is feeling a little weak with this cold, but I don't want to let boxing conditioning slide too much.

    Had a good workout this morning and managed all the SL weights. Will move squats and rows up but keep bench the same for another week. Without a spotter I'm nervous about going too much heavier. I probably need to get brave and just ask someone to spot for me......sheesh. Tomorrow will be an accessory day with lots of single arm and leg "stuff".

    25 min calisthenics warm-up incl BW squats and lunges, pushups, planks, physio ball bridges and pikes, physio ball crunches w/25 lbs, back extensions w/20 lbs, hanging leg lifts, crunch machine and stairmaster. 60 min weight and strength training incl Strong Lifts <2X 8 squats warmup w/65 lbs, 5X5 squats w/100 lbs, 2X 5 Bench warmup w/65 lbs, 5X 5 Bench w/80 lbs, 1X8 upright row warmup w/45 lbs and 5X5 bent over row w/75 lbs>, 3X 10 TRX TYI, 3X 10 shrugs w/95 lbs and 3X 10 inner thigh w/110.

    Food: Right around 1700 today.

    1) 60 minute beach run, equal parts trail, sand, and paved. Light effort. Legs felt heavy from all that rucking the past few days.
    2) 1 hour hike, no pack. Light effort.
    3) 45 minute boot camp class. Stations. Pretty well rounded. Moderate to high intensity. Strength was feeling pretty spot on. Which was nice to see after such a cardio focus this past week.
    4) 2 more hours hiking. No pack. Light effort.

    This seriously felt like a rest day.

    Food: within ranges even though I felt like gorging on sugar this morning. I ate a little more than normal for my breakfast and morning snack and the urgent hunger feeling went away.

    @Wildflower........lifting straps really help. Looks like you had a great workout week!!!

    My trainer told me to work at least one day a week for the next month or two on single arm and single leg exercises so that's what I did today. My right hip still isn't up to the left one strength wise and my left arm isn't up to the right one.............I'm lopsided!!!

    1 hour beach run. 3 hours hiking. Ate at maintenance. When you have a breakup the week before your period... You might eat a few unnecessarily big meals and then scrape some frosting off your roommate's birthday cake... And that's "okay."

    TGIF!!

    Lots of foam rolling and 15 push-ups to loosen myself up before tomorrow's race. My quads have been the reason my plantar fasciitis has been so bad. Deep foam rolling has make a huge difference in my right foot.

    Happy Saturday!


    Cardio: Ran the Toughest 10K - Galveston. This is race #2 in the Texas Bridge Series (and the one I think is easiest). Ran over the Galveston Causeway. New personal record, 1:04:44. Far faster than I set for myself and I probably could been a little faster had I pushed harder. Perfect weather and nearly perfect conditions (some wind). I felt awesome. 3 minutes faster than last year's time. 5 minutes faster than the Toughest 10K - Kemah I did last month. One race left...half-marathon over the La Porte bridge in a month.


    Food: over some, but no worries. I have three softball games tomorrow, I needed the extra fuel.

    Happy Sunday, everyone! Thanks for the congrats!


    Exercise: 2 games of softball as catcher. We were supposed to have a third game, but they forfeited, so we had a light practice. Only a couple hits today. Not my best games.

    A lot of foam rolling and stretching again. Flare up of my PF from the active weekend.


    Food: on target.

    2 hours trail running steep hills. 2 hours hiking no weight. Cardio is dialed in for high altitude (9,000-1,300 ft) backpacking trip. Packed my pack today and it feels a bit heavy, but I'm probably just tired. It'll feel like nothing in the morning...
