Getting back from resting

Two days of rest after the half marathon were definitely needed.  I'm not ready to run again, yet, but today I got a workout in.  I decided it would be a good day to try out the foam rolling and warm up from the Show and Go program I will be starting next week.  I know some of the moves are very new.  I realized, I will have to do some more work to remember what some of the moves are!

The foam rolling was not too comfortable on my still-sore leg muscles.

After those, I did a 50-10 ladder of kettlebell swings followed by 3 Turkish Getups on each side.  This was using my lonely 20# kettlebell.  At first, I tried jumping rope between the sets, but my calf told me that was too close to running, so stop it.  I did.  I could tell on my left side that 3 TGUs was all I was supposed to do.  Any more and my form would have suffered. 

After the kettlebell work, I tried some stir-the-pots supporting myself on my toes rather than my knees.  Hard!  Then I did some static hangs focusing on pulling my arms down into the shoulder sockets.  So, nothing really impressive, but a good first step back into the workout world.
