2 trail rides, 3 hours each 

Yes, that counts as a workout. I was even stiff and sore the next day (core muscles and thighs, because I haven’t done a posting trot in ages).

Today’s workout.

No sets, just the elliptical and some knee lifts.

Elliptical: 2 miles, 27:08 minutes [intervals 1-8 resistance, 2 minutes each interval, crossramp @ 4]; cool down CR 10, Resist 1, 5 minutes, ~.38 miles

knee lifts 5

That was actually a decent workout for me.

Kinda lost track...

I did some workouts in the first week of September that I can’t find my notes for so I can’t post them here (because my memory sucks). They weren’t that memorable anyway. I wasn’t feeling it. I did manage to go and workout though, so that’s good.

Today I dug a hole. It was roughly 3′ x 4′ x 2′ and it took me probably 45 minutes. That was my workout.

Today’s workout...ish

I needed a light day. My body was stiff, so I stretched for about 20 minutes, included some yoga and tai chi in my stretching, then walked on the elliptical for 15 minutes (did 1 mile at 1 resistance), and stretched for another 20 minutes. 

I felt great afterward, didn’t feel like I’d skipped my workout, and didn’t injure myself. Win.
