Beautiful clouds

I really didn't want to get up. I almost fell asleep getting ready to go.  I dilly dallied way too much.  BUT I still got out for a run.  I had been talking about how my favorite temperature to run in is about 55F.  Well, it was 56F this morning, so I just had to take advantage of it.  I was treated with a beautiful dawn.  There was a large group of striated clouds right were the sun was coming up.  The effect was red and blue stripes across the sky.  Beautiful!

I ended up at 2.13 miles at an average 10:48 pace.  Not bad for not having run in ages.

A tired met circuit

I guess I should be glad I even got up to work out this morning.  I did get to bed late and probably should have slept in.  But, I need to kick this bad cycle in the rear and get back to good eating.  Getting a good workout in helps with the eating motivation.

I had planned on lifting, but my mojo wasn't there.  So, I foam rolled and did the FBB warm up.  Then I put together a new FBB met circuit.  I still didn't have much "umph" but I got through it and MOVED, at least.

2 rounds, 10s off, 45s on

Lateral ski jump
Lunge jumps
Prone cross toe touch
KB swing

Lateral step-out squat
Crossbehind step up and over
Spiderman
Box jump

Second half

... of FBB Dial it In A3.  No time to fit it all in last time. Even so, this took 35 minutes not counting foam rolling and warm-up.  Usually I do count those, so it would have been around 50 minutes.  And I only did 2 rounds, not 3.  It felt good, though.  The finisher got my heart rate up into the 170s.  I won't be able to do early morning lifts this weekend, so I wanted to get this one in today.

Met circuit switchout

I had planned on finishing up yesterday's workout, but I just didn't have much energy this morning.  I think I'm coming down with something.  So, I did a met circuit.

Here it is:
foam rolling and warm up
10s off/45s on
2 rounds

Hop scotch
Single leg squat thrust
Mountain climber
KB swing (20#)

Rope jump
Explosive step up
Prone step off on Swiss ball
Squat jump

More cautious DLs

We were out for a few days sailing.  What fun!  Now, back to lifting.

I didn't have enough time to finish, so I just did the first two alternating groups, but did 3 sets of each.  Then, I followed up with jump roping.  During the DLs, I could feel some tightness in my right hamstring.  I assume this is all part of my messed up right side.  Hmmm... I played around a bit with how it would feel if I raised my left heel a bit.  I might try that in the future.
