I met Brian and Nathan this morning in the parking lot of the Bellevue United Methodist Church building for a 6-mile loop that incorporated the Harpeth River Greenway. We were met with temps in the mid 60s and a steady rain.
A run in the rain this morning was a welcome change from the soupy heat and humidity of the past two weeks. While it was obviously still humid, the rain was refreshing. My legs were very tired, but again they felt better than the same day last week, which is a positive. I can tell that my body is slowly adapting to the workload, but I still have a LONG way to go.
We kept the pace very chill during the run, but probably not quite as chill as the splits above indicate. My Garmin was struggling to keep up with the heavy cloud cover, and Brian’s was almost a quarter-mile ahead. All-in-all it was a good run.
In addition to the run, I also completed the following cross-training activities with Olivia & Sara (she’s actually really good at wall squats!):
- Balance Lunge (25 each leg)
- Calf-Raise Squat (25 reps – 20 lb dumbbells)
- Reverse-Grip Chinup (8 reps)
- Super Skaters (25 each leg)
- Wall Squat w Ball (1 min 10 sec)
- Wide-Front Pull-Up (8 reps)
- Step-Back Lunge (15 each leg – 20 lb dumbbells)
- Deadlift Squats (20 each leg)
- Switch-Grip Pull-Ups (8 reps)
