9Round 32:00 [4]
ahr:116 max:175 shoes: INOV-8 Alltrain 215

I got to 9Round right at opening, before I had breakfast, and it was pretty busy. The first round was 20 jump ropes, 20 high knees with jump ropes, and 20 jacks with jump ropes. Then repeat for 3 minutes. About halfway through, my heart rate went up to 125% of what my maximum is supposed to be, so I slowed down a bit. The rest was challenging, but ok, until round 9, which was crunchy frogs, flutter kicks, and Russian twists. I'm feeling worked out. My blood sugar must have been at an all time low, and then I met Bob in Liberty for breakfast. Salmon eggs Benedict. Yum.

9Round 32:00 [4]
ahr:116 max:132 shoes: INOV-8 Alltrain 215

A busy day on Burpee Friday. Every round included some type of enhanced Burpee, e.g., a Burpee with 20 mountain climbers, or a Burpee with 10 jacks. Challenging, but not as tough as yesterday.

Then I took Elray to recycling and the Riverfront trail, but it was really cold, so we didn't do a lot of walking. We were outside about 12 minutes, and even Elray wanted to go back to the car.

9Round 32:00 [5]
ahr:122 max:141 shoes: INOV-8 Alltrain 215

Today was a tough one. The CHOW was on Round 3--jab/cross and reverse lunge. I did 94. We used battle ropes, sandbags, short step, and the Bosu trainer. I stayed in the red or yellow for almost the entire workout.
9 AM

Dog Walking 32:56 [2] 2.42 km (13:37 / km) +19m 13:06 / km
ahr:94 max:125 shoes: INOV-8 Roclite 270

After that tough workout, I felt like chilling while taking Elray for a walk over the bridge to Jesse James and the east loop. She had other ideas, however. She had a case of the zoomies, the technical term for poodles gone wild. I held her in check, because I was chilling and the trail was slippery in places from all the rain.
6 PM

Yoga 1:15:00 [0]

Pure Yin. Not a lot of activity, but lots of intensity. I had some problems with my left hamstring trying to cramp. Really felt the stretch.

Workout 1:00:00 [3]
ahr:110 max:122 shoes: INOV-8 Roclite 270

I did well with my fast change footwork and balance activities today. Again, heavier weights. We ended with three trips back and forth across the gym--pushing the sled one way, and pulling back the other.

Dog Walking 29:55 [2] 2.08 km (14:23 / km) +36m 13:14 / km
ahr:100 max:119 shoes: INOV-8 Roclite 270

We took the main trail at Jesse James and saw all the decorated Christmas trees. Elray decided to do the roll around and around in the grass twice. Otherwise, a pretty decent pace.
3 PM

Dog Walking 41:01 [2] 3.55 km (11:33 / km) +30m 11:05 / km
ahr:97 max:122 shoes: INOV-8 Roclite 270

We took a trip to Watkins Mill, and walked clockwise to the swim beach and back. Time out for a few piddles, and a pooh, and a pick up the pooh, and two tables both coming and going. Otherwise, we kept up a good pace. I did not allow much in the way of sniffing. My overall pace ended up being 11:33.

9Round 32:00 [4]
ahr:112 max:132 shoes: INOV-8 Alltrain 215

The gym was only open from 8-9:30 this morning, so it was really crowded. We had a themed 12 days of Christmas, e.g., Round 1 was 1 sprint down and back, 1 Burpee, 1 bear crawl down and back, and 1 up-down. Round 9 had 9 ab tucks, 10 one-legged V-ups, 11 crunches, and 12 Russian twists. I shared most of the rounds with someone else, so that kept the energy level high.
3 PM

Dog Walking 25:04 [2] 1.64 km (15:17 / km) +3m 15:09 / km
ahr:102 max:125

Mack Porter Park. We went over the bridge. I had planned on doing the east loop in Jesse James, but I saw some unleashed dogs running loose, so we turned around and went back over to Mack Porter. Then we walked around the ball fields.

Dog Walking 32:18 [2] 2.32 km (13:55 / km) +24m 13:14 / km
ahr:95 max:110 shoes: INOV-8 Roclite 270

A fast trip to Mack Porter, and over the bridge. We looped around the big shelter and back. Elray got interested in a disc golf game, and mostly seemed to think we were going out for a sniff fest. I got my strength training in pulling her along.
2 PM

Orienteering (vetting) 2:09:55 [3] 6.47 km (20:05 / km) +224m 17:07 / km
ahr:109 max:146

Such a nice day. I went to Weston Bend and did most of the long course. I wanted to double check placement of a couple of controls, and also approach several from a different direction. One of my tapes was missing, and I spent some time wandering to make sure it really was missing. It was. A deer probably ate it. I put up another tape. I also saw a possum near one of the tapes. The two I didn't get to are definitely in the correct place, although I might try hitting one of them from a different direction if the weather is good enough.
