Flew up to Virginia on Thursday the 19th. Flew back down to my house on Tuesday. Decided I would split the trip up into 2 posts. The first part will be the few random workouts I did. The second part will be detailing the GoRuck Nasty obstacle course race I did on Saturday with my brother.
Friday 9/20
I had been trying to break in my new trail running shoes all week by walking around in them, but I knew I needed at least one run in them before the race. Headed over to a big athletic complex near my parents' house called Vint Hill Farms. It used to be an Army signals intelligence gathering base back in the 70s and 80s, but then closed down a few years after we moved to the area. The large athletics field comprises a couple baseball fields, tennis courts, and a huge area big enough for several soccer fields. Put my new trail shoes on and started running the perimeter. Turns out 1 full lap of the perimeter was a little under 1mi, so I did 3 laps and totaled something like 2.95mi. New shoes felt good. Good traction, no hot spots on my toes.
Monday 9/23
Farm Fitness all day. Helped my parents move a bunch of heavy crap from various places around the yard and house to the truck. Stuff like 3 pieces of 2x4ft slate (really heavy), a bunch of square concrete paving stones, a few concrete cube foundation stones, and a bunch of old bricks. Then tossed it from the bed of the truck to a dumpster that was at chest height. Getting the pieces of slate up that high was fun. After that, spent the rest of the afternoon up a ladder and painting the side of the deck.
