I went out on a nice, challenging trail run this morning. What a great way to kick off the weekend!! It was 65 degrees and clear. :highfive:

I didn't plan to run a particular pace but to just get some cardio in. Running at 1400' in San Antonio was challenging for me.....I put in 3.4 miles on the course.

I went on a bike ride this morning. I wanted to ride the new expansion of the trails leading to the SA missions but it was closed...again. :ranting2:

I rode the alternate route I went previously and got a better workout because I got chased by a few dogs along the way. :rofl: I put in 8 miles in 37:56.

[B]WOD[/B]
I did a nice chipper to shake things up. It was supposed to be squat day but my legs were sore from yesterday's trail run.

5 cleans 125#
35 crunches
15 KB press 50#
35 leg lifts
15 KB press
65 SU
15 rows 125#
1 minute plank

I'm participating in another month long abs challenge and was invited after it had already begun, so I incorporated the last three days into my WOD.

I've slacked off on my squatting due to a sore knee but yesterday was excellent rehab along with not running as much.

Today turned out to be a good run day. It wasn't as cool as some of the previous days, but I'll take 76 degrees in Texas any day:thanx:

[B][I]400m job and stretching[/I][/B]

I ran a decent 4 miles in 37 minutes. I tried not to pay attention to my pace but just to get mileage in. Of course, I started pacing myself after two miles and almost burned out by the end.....Speaking of which, I stubbed my toe on the home stretch. :ranting2: It hurt like a champ until I had a chance to get some ice on it. No swelling, and I can wiggle it; no sign of anyhting broken.

I went up 5#s from the prescribed weight cuz it was easier to just slap two 45s and two 25s on the bar...:p

This was the end of week IV on the Russian program; been off a few days due to rest day and scheduling conflicts. It's had some rough patches but a good program. I did scale the weight some but no big deal....

I'm looking forward to next week!!:pepper:
