Too Busy for a Deployment – Thanks Anyway!!

For my 43 today I borrowed a move from Fitknitchick. On Friday, she had a really great circuit that she shared on her blog. I just took one of the moves from it and turned it into my 43.

The move is an elevated plank knee-in. You start in plank except your feet are on the wall. The higher your feet, the easier the move will be. I tried (key word being – tried!) to keep a level plank because you know I love a challenge! From that crazy position, you alternate bringing your knees in to your chest.

I counted a right knee & a left knee as 1 rep. I’m not gonna lie – this was a HARD 43!!!

Then, I did a bit of Les Mills Combat – Combat 45. I know that the other day Combat 60 Live was my favorite but today this one is my fav!!! I love some of the jumping kicks in this one!!!

I decided to test my Achilles on the treadmill today! I ran 5 miles with 1.5% incline (6:15 pace) – with an easy mile after to cool down. I’m not hobbling right now so hopefully the week without running helped!!!

About the time I finished my run, Chris sent me a text about an upcoming deployment. I’m pretty used to this kind-of thing by now!! However, he said they need some crews.

Ummmm……HELLO!!! I’m running a 50 mile race and you are supposed to be the head of my road crew!! Then we have Jordan’s birthday and stuff…..Can you just tell them we are kind-of busy?? Nope!!

Deployments – what can I say?? The best part of a deployment?
