Sunday was just too beautiful to sit inside! Walked to the studio to dip and walked about 3/4 way home before my family picked me up to run errands. Total about 4 miles. Went down to visit Grandma and took boys on bikes and new niece in stroller for second walk of the day. It was an unfamiliar route for me, so I really am unsure of length. My In-laws live on the south side of Bismarck where all of the flooding is potentially happening and it was very interesting to get a glimpse of the variety of sandbagged barriers that are out there. Some had none, some had a few, and some went all out with a three foot dike. I should mention that as long as the dikes that the corps put up hold, the area should be safe. Here are some photos. We live on a very tall hill in north Bismarck and are not affected by the flooding, but my heart goes out to everyone who is. We have two sets of relatives that live below the University of Mary who have been out of their homes for almost three weeks now. It's in God's hands now.
Monday, June 6
Did a little bit of stretching and then some tall box jumps (with lots of rest in between as my nose began to throb). I worked in sets of three'ish starting with the 24" box. Added a 25# plate, then took that off and added a 45#. Stacked the 25# back on top of 45#, then did two 45# and finally added a 25# to the two 45#. This most likely makes no sense at all, and I apologize for not measuring heights. Just like sprints, box jumps are explosive and work your muscles differently than a long run. Between a lanky marathoner and a beefy sprinter, I'd rather look like the latter.
