Am- 4.5 with Jake and Henry, we did 12 30 second hill sprints

Afternoon- 20 minutes of hourglass strides on the grass with Jake. Basically stride 100-150 meters jog 40-50 on repeat for 20 minutes. Hurt quite a bit.

Evening- real fun began when my top soil delivery guy told me he couldn't dump the top soil in my yard without cracking my concrete. So I had somewhere between 50,000 and 100,000 pounds of dirt dumped in the street in front of my house and was also notified by the city that I needed to move it out of the street by Wednesday morning.

Spent 5 hours tonight moving the dirt throughout the yard. 53x loading the 8 cubic foot capacity wheelbarrow with 500 pounds of dirt, pushing the wheelbarrow around the yard and then dumping it.

Ouch

Not sure how much mileage to count this for

Am- 1 hour 45 minutes doing 18 loads of dirt

Afternoon- About an hour doing 10 more loads of dirt

Evening- 2 hours 45 minutes with the help of Jake and Paul. I must have done an additional 30-40 loads but I didn't keep track. Those guys really saved our butts.

So incredibly tired and sore.

Technically took 4 days off from running, but the first of those days I burned about 2500 calories moving dirt and the day before that I burned over 3000 calories between running and diet moving. My lungs were absolutely shredded after the first day of moving the dirt because I didn't wear a mask, mostly over that today but I didn't want to upset my throat and lungs by running too early.

Anyways, we had a great group out today. I ran 6 with Jake Paul Henry Kolten and Sammy. Then I ran an additional 3.5 with Jake after that.
