Tough Mudder Training - Day 9

Today was a bit warmer than yesterday, but not much ! definitely starting to get cold - nights into the thirties

By request of my daughter, breakfast was same as yesterday: french toast, eggs, fruit, protein shake

90 push-ups

Last day of Columbus day break for Gillian, so went to the Rail Trail for a run-bike.  Yesterday day I pushed reasonably hard on a couple mile intervals and kettlebell intervals after being off for 3 days, so I was pretty stiff this morning.  Decided to have a long slow day and get some easy miles in... first to get the miles in and get the running conditioning going as I get closer to the race (11 days away) and also to work out the stiffness.

I ran a easy pace 3 miles while Gillian paced me on her bike !  Run felt great and we had an awesome time, talking and having fun on the run until the last quarter, when I pushed a little to finish with a bit of a kick.

Up until now, I have mostly been working on my strength and cardio conditioning using intervals... my runs have been mostly short very intense intervals... This last couple weeks prior to the race, I am also going to add in longer runs to condition my body to the distance and the miles.

Protein shake and supplements including aminos/bcaa/creatine after the run.
