Memorial day weekend wrapup

had a good Memorial day weekend. felt good to take the rest week last week. think the mind and body needed it.

Saturday 5-29
run 4.5 miles
solid run thru the neighborhood. explored a few new roads and ran a bunch of ones i already know. little hilly. solid pace. sub 8:00 average. gotta load the garmin file later.
after that did a few hours of yard work. pushed the mower around etc...
washed the truck and them played in the hose with the kiddies.

Sunday
no run or ride. futzed around in the yard some more. did a little more stuff outside and them played with the kiddos. great day.

Monday
Memorial day.
modified "Murph"
with 45# weight vest
run 1 mile
200 push ups
300 squats
run 1 mile

did this outside in the vest and the heat. the first mile was 8:00 pace and solid.
cycled thru the push ups and squats in sets of 20/30 respectably.
modified as i did not have a pull up bar. was going to use the swing at park but it was a little high to jump with the vest on and a little slick from the am rain. but i did have 45# instead of 20 in the vest to make it a little more interesting
powered thru the push ups and squats. total mental battle.
second run was 9ish average pace.
have it on the garmin and will upload it later.

felt good to bang this out and on the run back to the house when i felt like stopping i thought of the boys in the sand box humping all day in full gear and just pushed thru.
thanks to them we can lay around and eat fat burgers and drink cold beer! hoorah!

rest of the day was spent outside with the kiddies. getting some sun and playing in the hose.
good times!


hoorah Murph!
