Extreme exercise today!

This morning I got up and ran with the dog (second day in a row doing that).

Felt pretty good until the last piece - really felt lethargic on that one.
Ran 3, 4, 5, 5,4 with 2+ off between.

Then from 11 to 12, 12:30 to 2, 3:30 to 6:30 I moved three yards of dirt, scooping it off the pile on the driveway, putting it into a wheelbarrow, moving it to a location around the house/yard.
It started as a desire to work on drainage on the south side of our new house to move water away from the house. It became an opportunity to move a lot of dirt in a lot of places (under bushes, trees, around the new sidewalk from the garage, etc.) since the amount of dirt the home inspector and dirt-yard owner recommended was twice what I really needed! 5 1/2 hours of loading, lugging, dumping or shoveling...

And it was 85 degrees.....even got a sunburn.
I am sore now - will be even sorer tomorrow AM. Will have to see if a run is in the cards.

Another perfect day of induction! Day 4 complete.
