Howdy all!!!!

So i have had these pictures on my phone saying i was going to do a blog since before i left Nevada and i am just now doing it…..slacker party of one!!!

Anyways, there is a park in Fernley, NV that so has the right idea, I think all parks should do this. So it has the normal playground for kids and all but surround the playground are 5 or 6 workout stations…..how genius is that!!! They are simple stations so a parent can workout while keeping an eye on their kid at the park.

 look right in between the green poles and the jungle gym thing, in the background that is workout station.

  here is a little closer pic of the one by the playground then look to the right and there is one out there.

 and here is a close-up of one of the stations. This was the stretching station.

Is this not awesome??!!

Does anywhere near you have anything like this?

Good Afternoon everyone!!!

Well here is how my day started

When i got home i chugged some protein and recovery, with a little extra recovery thrown in.

I was a little shakey after the run hahahahahaha.

Of course i just happened on a blog yesterday talking about the importance of stretching out your calves at least once a day when training……oops! I so have not been doing that. I used one of those torturous not foam rollers and holy cow did that hurt my poor extra sore left calf but overall it was good for me.

How do you treat sore muscles?

So it is the 10th, the night before the hike and packing is bringing back a flood of memories from the PCT. As crazy hard and emotional as it was…..I miss it!!!

It is so weird to pack for a day hike near a city, the last time i packed for a hike it was with the knowledge that i would have to survive for days on just what was in my pack. Now, just as then, i have to try not to overpack hahahahaha.

Ill add more tomorrow!

I got up at about 4:45 to meet my friend.

The hike was pretty, very green and the mist made it a little magical. We were the only ones one the trail.

The traio went up, up, up, up then down, down, down, down. And clearly the trail hadnt been used much because at least 1/3rd of it was super overgrown. We did some serious bushwacking!

Overall it was tiring but i enjoyed it. Now for a shower than dinner and a movie with the roommates!!!!

***The videos take forever to load so if you are looking at this right over i post it, come back in like two hours lol.

Good morning!!!!!……well good afternoon now.

So i laid down to go to sleep around 9:30 last night, finally drifted off around 10:30, tossed and turned, woke up severel times and had a nightmare lol. I had set my alarm for 5:15 this morning to be out the door by about 5:30-5:40 to do my first training run.
I woke up at 4:45 and reset my alarm for 5:30. At 5:30 i turned my alarm off for 20 minutes and dozed. I finally crawled out of bed around 5:50. Made myself a bod-e shake.

I like them cause they actually taste good. I drank about 1/4 of it and headed out the door to do 3 miles……..my house is surrounded by hills!!!!!

Overall it was a good run, i can’t wait until 3 miles is an easy run again!

When i got home i threw a little Vega protien and recovery into the rest of my shake and that was breakfast, then it was shower and off to work.

What kind of workout did you do today?

Talk to you soon!!!
