Saturday

Woke up early with mildly sore legs from Friday's workout.  Quads and butt were sore from all the squats and lunges I think.  Ah well.  Regardless of how my legs felt, I knew this was not going to be a fast 9mi lap since we got somewhere around 5in of rain in the last 24 hours.

Got there at 0650, it was sprinkling a little.  Stretched while a few of the other guys showed up, including my buddy Josh (not Padawan Josh).  Ended up being a small group since 3 of the usual guys are running the Pikes Peak Marathon this weekend.   Two older guys started off first, then Hunter, Jonathan, Kyle, my friend Josh, the high school cross country son of one of the older guys who's name I didn't catch, and I followed behind.  Maybe half way through Josh was struggling so I stayed back with him while the other guys left us.  Fun run though.  It was extremely wet.  Within the first few minutes we were already soaked and it was like that the rest of the way.  There were sections closer to the river where it was 6in of standing water for 50m sections.  No way to go around that so you just plow through it.  Finished it in 1:22:XX which is pretty slow for me, but I was keeping pace for Josh and with all the water and mud it wouldn't have been smart to try to go fast.

After getting back to the parking lot, I did a max rep set of body squats with Josh then headed home.

After breakfast, every 20 or 30 minutes I would do this quick leg blaster workout I picked up from Mountain Athlete.  Its done with no rest:
20 squats
10 lunges per leg
10 jump lunges per leg
10 jump squats

It definitely destroys your legs.  I'd follow that up immediately with a max rep set of ring dips and regular pull ups in my garage.
