[B]REST DAY[/B]:zombie:

I don't know what it is but I'm so drained....And to top that, I've been sneezing like mad since I ran my 5k yesterday. I suspect that there was a lot more mountain cedar in the air where I ran....:shrug:

I'm taking today off and try to workout in the a.m.

I feel better this morning. I rested really well, and stayed hydrated throughout yesterday. I haven't sneezed since last night, so I'm hoping that whatever pollen or mountain cedar that was whipping my tail is out of my system.

I decided to go to the globo on the base today. I planned to do some rowing but they have both C2s in maintenance....:ranting2: So, I skipped out on cardio for today. Couldn't bring myself to get on the treadmill.

I followed the Spartan Race WOD for today. I had planned on some hill work anyhow. ;)

[B]WOD[/B]


Jog 1 mile easy to the hill
Find a .5 mile hill (preferably in the woods with rocks and roots in the way)
Run all out to the top of the hill
Moderate jog to the bottom of the hill
At the bottom of the hill do 10 burpees, 10 squat jumps, 10 pushups, 10 side lunge jumps
Repeat 5 times
Jog 1 mile easy to cool down

I did 4 rounds. I modified slightly and did a slight loop with the hill repeats. I ran up the hill that I was working on, took a parallel trail, jogged back to my start point and did the exercises. I actually got almost 3 miles out of it.

I needed to pound some pavement today. Seems like I've been slacking...
