THANG: Since several PAX are participating in a Spartan race this coming weekend, the run was toned down a bit, just a chance to get loose and get in some stretching. Also shared a little bit about my experience with warming-up before a competition.
Warm-o-rama, 10 burpees IC.
Jog ~1.5mi to the Wall and circle up for some dynamic stretching, then complete the roughly 4 mi circuit by heading from the pump station up to 2nd street, back past necropolis and across the bridge to St. Johns, then returning to the AO for final stretches and thoughts about gauging whether you're ready for your race by where your HR is.
COT–COR, NOR and Capitol 6 with a great message about the mental health benefits of the 1st F, and tying in really well with the LDP3 about 'fitness' being more than just working out, but depending a lot on the frequency and intensity of the work.
Although today's run wasn't as intense as some, greatly appreciated the company of the PAX and the beautiful weather today.
