I haven't posted in here in a while!

Last week was all light exercise and prep for Sunday. Sunday was half marthon. Monday was 45 minutes with foam roller - I did all the activities on the chart, including all the various stretches, some hip bridges, reverse crunches, a couple of other exercises I can't remember. Not specifically meant to be a workout, but my arms and shoulders sure feel it today. Today I did a 30 minute yoga podcast in the morning, ran 6.2 miles at the park after work.

No exercise yet today, but my legs feel fantastic. Better than my shoulders, which are still recovering from Monday's session with the foam roller.

Taking a rest day. THough my program calls for 6 days of working out (4 WL, 2 cardio) I find I need 2 rest days. I can easily combine one of the cardio with an UB workout, so that's what I'm doing!
