After a much needed day off from training yesterday, I felt great this morning. After starting my day with my favorite weekend meal....strawberry / protein smoothie and an ezekial english muffin, I was ready to get after it!

Training:

1:40 run (about 13 miles) of trails, hills, and stairs

gym workout (thanks to Rob "Maximus" McDonald):

30 push presses with 2 30# db

40 pull-ups (unassisted, band, and jumping combo)

50 KB swings with a 35# KB

60 sit-ups (30 in the GHD)

70 Burpees

Total time- 21:45 

I felt pretty flat in the gym after my run, the two sessions were pretty close together. I ended up breaking up the sets more than I normally do and stopped twice for a quick trip to the water fountain. I was very glad to be done with the 70 burpees!
