Did: 30 min at-home strength session

Bodyweight workout:

30-20-10...3-2-1 crunches, skater lunges (L+R=2), burpees

Tuesday

Did: 7.66 mi @ 7:51/mi avg Track Tuesday

Got back to the purple track today for some intervals which felt great! Thankfully today is the last cool-ish morning that we'll have for a while so it was nice to get out and run fast. Did 800m repeats and kept them all very consistent (3:26, 3:26, 3:24, 3:22, 3:25, 3:17) with a little 🔥 on the last one. Pushed hard and felt good!

Wednesday

Did: 20 min bodyweight workout

25 RFT: 5 jumping jacks, 4 air squats, 3 tricep push-ups (6:56)

15 RFT: 8 bicycle crunches (L+R=2), 8 glute bridge pulses, 8 TD squats, 8 shoulder taps (L+R=1) (11:41)

Surprised how good these felt! I even did the bicycle crunches with straight leg instead of bent, because they felt too easy. Shoulder taps were tough but was able to keep good form through the entire workout! Working on keeping the rest of the body stable and level while moving the arms instead of swaying side to side, really happy with the apparent progress in core strength in the past couple of months since I restarted bodyweight workouts. 

Thursday

Did: 5.55 mi @ 8:49/mi avg + 12 min bodyweight workout

Got in a nice run of the Lakeview Lollipop route this morning, plus did the bodyweight workout at the end of the run. Felt great to get it all done first thing!

3 min AMRAP/1 min rest between each set. Russian Twists, up-downs, (pick your own) . Score is total of each.

220 Russian Twists, 30-something up-downs (got sidetracked/distracted in the middle), 130 skater lunges

Friday

Did: 12 min bodyweight workout

12 min AMRAP: 7 jump squats, 5 pushups, 30s plank

12 rounds done

Saturday

Did: 25.9 mi mountain biking

Oh mannn what a great day for mountain biking at Jackrabbit Campground! I took THREE rides today.

First up was 11.04 mi ride in the morning. Started out with other families and D, so it was a slow ride of the green and white loops on the main trails. On the way back, I peeled off and rode the purple loop (new, more advanced trail) solo. Felt great, but those were some hard climbs and fun downhills!

In the afternoon, I took a shorter solo ride up the orange & blue trails, which is quickly becoming one of my favorites to do. It's a steep little climb but has a nice overlook at the top where I've come to enjoy a beverage and take in the sights. 

Then after dinner we did our traditional group ride to SABA Beach at sunset. We weren't out as late as we've been in previous years - everyone was back by the time the sun was really going down. Still a lovely ride and such a fun group!

Sunday

Did: 3.2 mi hike on the AT

I was solo for the drive home from Jackrabbit on Sunday morning, so I stopped for a short hike on the AT where it crosses Hwy 76 at Dick's Creek Gap. It was so lush and green and quiet! Beautiful flowers too.
