With Tough Mudder coming up in August and over a month of very little to no training, I couldn’t help but feel a bit out of shape, so from this point on, I’m working to getting my fitness levels back up. I gotta say, this past week was a nice ease-in week of workouts.
Friday:

Between 2 vball posts:
3x Run forwards and backwards to and from
2x Backwards run to and from
1x 20s plank + bear crawl, alternating
1x duck walk

played 1 hr of pick up 2’s vball
Saturday:
4hrs of beach volleyball with friends – great games and I got a tan.
My legs were sore afterwards, but in a good way 🙂
