Day 10
E x 42 mins
Another nice, easy run. Got a nice bit of sun. Summer is coming! Time to bust out the sunscreen! Foam rolled back and legs in the afternoon. Still feeling sore from Monday's 3 x 30. Glad there is only three more weeks of SE in Base Building!

Day 11
SE 2 x 30
Didnt go as planned. Made it about halfway through my first round before i had to tend to a sick one year old. Resumed the circuit 5 to 10 minutes later. Got to my third exercise in the cluster, but had to scrap hopes of finishing to comfort the little guy. In spite of not finoshing, im happy with what i was able to do exercise wise given the circumstances. Parenting/husbanding has got to come first!

Day 12
Recovery
Followed along with Stew Smith's Prehabit workout, sans dumbbells. Just something to get the blood moving. May be running in my sons jogathon as well, but it should be awfully light.

Day 13
E x 1 hour 6 mins
Went to a nearby canyon trail. Once again, 50 pound, Bear Grylls pack. Route was nice and flat, though there was a noticeable grade on the return trip. Id forgotten how gentle a flat ruck or run can be. Encountered one snake on the trail (no rattle on its tail). Planned on going for 50-55 minutes, but made one stop to adjust sternum strap, and another for a bathroom break. I would like to use this route for a run soon.

Day 14
Rest
Did the Prehabit workout again. Tried getting the blood moving with 25 minutes on the stationary bike, but no dice.

Day 15
SE 3 x 40
This was a killer! I was totally gassed by the end of the first round. All in all, the workout took me more than an hour and ten minutes to complete. Least i know it wont be getting much worse than this. Really, what is 3 x 50 compared to 3 x 40? Glad to see the light at the end of the SE tunnel!

Day 16
E x 50 mins
Road run today. Beginning to notice some pain on the sides of my knees. Attribute this to going to deep on squats during Prehabit workout or the stationary bike. Pain seemed to go away about ten minutes into the run. I will be watching my knees closely. Covered 5.5 miles.

Day 17
E x 50 m
Hit the trail I rucked on, last Saturday. Ran from one end to the other, turned around and returned to start point. No snake sightings today! Covered a little over 6.2 miles. I feel very accomplished after this session. I havent ran that route in its entirety since cross country of my junior year of high school.
