Saturday Mud Run Workout #3
After Friday’s Breakthrough Workout I was really leery of going to the Mud Run training the next day. But I really like getting in a 4th workout with Dante. This workout was Scheduled at Kennedy High School because they have an ROTC training area, which features several of the mud run obstacles.
We started off on the bleachers (REALLY!?!?) luckily high school bleachers are much smaller than college. We had to run up and down the stairs 6 times. Then I had to run 2 laps around the track.
After a short break we moved onto weighted lunges, doing lat, front and shoulder raises with 8lb weights…finishing up the warm up with 1 minute planks and a 100 meter sprint against Dante. Even with a head start he still blew right past us. I really don’t think he is human sometimes.
Todays circuit, which was focused on mud run obstacles was tough. We started with front and backwards bear crawls, jump squats, tire runs, pull-ups, a climb over the wall and ending with a 1 minute wall squat. We had to do it 3 times.
OMG it took every ounce of energy for me to get through this workout. I was already exhausted just from the warm up. The wall was my biggest concern, but I put everything into getting over it every time. It was hard but I did it, with a lot of support from the team and Angel who did my 3rd lap with me. Thank you!
I came home and went straight to bed and just crashed. Unfortunately I re injured the pulled muscle in my neck/back and my shoulders and calves are sore beyond belief. I even have little badges of honor (bruises) all over my legs.
Sunday I took the day off from all activities to rest and heal my shoulder.
