This morning I was up at 7:00 AM to take the huskies for a 5 mile run. Sure it's not 5:00 AM, but it's a start. On our journey, we stopped off at the dog park with a mile to go so they could jump in the water and cool off . When we returned home I rinsed them off with the hose; even though it wasn't warm that early, they still tend to overheat on runs beyond 3 miles at temperatures above 60 degrees (I pay very close attention to their well being and let them dictate the pace). After the run I made breakfast of bacon and eggs with some fresh blueberries, and the huskies enjoyed their Iams covered in the drippings from my bacon. I think the three of us would agree it was a great morning!
The Workout of the Day (WOD) from http://www.crossfit.com was:
Front squat 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 reps
Meaning 7 sets of 1 rep max front squat. These types of workouts are great for developing explosive strength and building a strong core and shouldn't be skipped even by distance athletes. I completed the following front squats (with proper form):
- 135
- 155
- 175
- 185
- 195
- 205
- 7 x 135
- 8 x135
Another great day...
