The 400m Air Squat
I decided to go for something a little different today. After my slow-burn hike early this afternoon, I headed out to the track to try circuits. This particular circuit consists of only two events—400 meters around the track and 20 air squats after each lap. The laps: running, walking, jogging, and combination (half walk, half jog). I wasn’t even really going for time. Still, I finished the timed portion in 17:05, which is not very good, but it’s a different kind of workout. I’m fairly sure I’ll be ridiculously sore tomorrow.
This circuit really had me sweating like a dog. I can’t believe how exhausted I was when I left the track and started the cool down walk home. Phew. Dayamn.

The scale this morning indicated that I’m eight pounds lighter than I was three weeks ago.
