I was decently sore in my upper body today. I ate a lot yesterday and I felt recovered. I felt great in the gym this morning. I also felt great on the long run this afternoon, but afterward I was exhausted, it ended up being very taxing. Today was more of an active recovery / endurance day; it ended up looking like this:

AM Workout

AMRAP in 15 minutes:
10 x Wall Ball
20 x Double Unders

Rest 5 minutes then:

For time:
400m Row
1:30 Plank
350m Row
1:15 Plank
300m Row
1:00 Plank
250m Row
1:00 Plank

PM Workout (5+ hours after AM)

65 minute run in the foot hills. The first 35 minutes were straight up hill. The second half was rolling hills and some big downhills. I started off slow and found a good pace about 15 minutes in. Once I got to the rolling hills I ran a moderate/fast pace and ended running the last 10 or so minutes at a tempo pace. I felt great, light on my feet and fit. After this run I went home and ate a lot and laid in bed for over an hour; I was really exhausted. I'm excited for Robie Creek.
