I so wasn't lying earlier when I said this evening's cardio would make up for this morning's lack luster lift. I was going to do the cooper test but it started snowing and I said fuuuuck that, I know where to find a perfectly good tredmill.
So this workout was based off of some circuits that I've heard my teammates talking about. Dowty did this one this weekend except she did it twice as many times as I did with jump roping and clap push ups in between run reps (daaaaamn!) but you gotta start somewhere, right? this 4 miles I can actually put down as a personal best. I certainly haven't run like this on a tredmill or a track in a long time. Definitely put this workout in the to repeat and improve upon column.

I spent a good chunk of time really stretching my whole body. I'll be able to push my workouts better if my muscles aren't always in agony. But next time I'm going to try to do it the run circuit 3 times.
No tunes, watched the celtics game instead
