Today we didn’t do much but boy was I tired from it.
We had a cup of tea and then headed out to do some hill repeats in town. I managed to do seven hill repeats and a short tour of the block run. We finished up in the park with three rounds of ten pull-ups, pushups, dips, step ups, and a plank. We then ran home. It wasn’t five kilometers but it was still an awesome way to start the day.
After a great breakfast skillet
We headed out to the valley which is where L grew up. It was so cool to see where she talks about. I got a few minutes of knitting in while they went swimming before the skies opened again.
It was back home for a visit with a sister in law and a niece and then another trip to the local lake. 
I tried to get pictures of the crazy amount of frogs at the valley lake and the crazy amount of tadpoles at the local lake, but they just didn’t turn out. It really was something to see though.
Now it’s time for bed!
Have fun!

Hill repeats are TOUGH!! Way to go AJ!
Thank you! I really hate hill repeats!
Me too! But then after I do them, I feel pretty strong and badass lol
Yup exactly the feeling. It definitely highlighted that I need to do them more often at home!
I feel the same way when I do them! Sometimes the hardest thing is finding a challenging enough hill to do
Oh I don’t have any problem finding hills. I live in an incredibly hilly area so trying to run without a hill is a challenge
That’s lucky since you have built in hill training on your runs! Where I live in both Chicago (technically where my parents live) and Philly, I have to find hills that would work for hill repeats.
Most days I would love that but I can understand why it could be annoying to have to carefully plan your route
I don’t do hill repeats a ton so it’s not a huge deal
Hehe. Sometimes I’m most tired after a day of not too much also 😂
But you sti
Had a really fun day and got in that lovely lake view!
Oh the views around here are amazing!
You are brave to go to the lake and swim. In Florida, this would be perfect breeding ground for alligators.
Oh we’re lucky because there are no alligators anywhere around here
I’m so glad you are having so much fun!
It has been great!
I am so happy that you are having a great time! the little cabin photo is charming. And frogs….oh my. There are a lot around here too! It seems a good healthy thing for the forest
It has been such a neat holiday!
