Back was tight yesterday to the point of walking partially bent over.  Took lots of stretching and foam roller to get to the point to be able to go to bed.  Something about 2-handed swings just puts too much pressure on my back.  Can’t seem to get the good neutral spine.

Back still pretty tight today.

2K Row & 4 Mile Hike

Rowed 2k… but was too strong out of the gate with no warmup…. bonked quickly and just gutted through the remainder.  Time: 10 minutes (PR was 8:32 in January ’10)

Cardio not coming back as strong as I thought from the lung infection.

We also got a nice 2hr 4 mile hike in this evening using the Vibram Five Finger shoes.  After a two week break-in period, this was the first long outing with them.  Didn’t intend for it to be quite so long, but I failed to review the trail prior to setting out, and _thought_ I knew how it ran… D’OH!!

Did a 3 mile hike at John Bryan State Park along the river on the Gorge Trails.  It was a great way to unwind after the 8 hour class today.  I love Daylight Savings Time!

Went to Caesar Creek State Park and hiked 4 miles on the difficult mountain bike trails.  Too challenging for us to bike, but it made for a nice hike.  We jogged on the up hill stints which was kinda fun for us non-joggers!
