Today was a park day.

Swinging on the swings.
Swing Jumps.

Playground Transversing.
Jumping and hanging from basketball hoops.

And the most fun…
Base running. Went to the little league field at the park and did some running around the bases. Home runs, doubles, singles, triples, 1st to 3rd, bunt singles, scoring from second, stealing bases. Simply, I just pretended I was playing a baseball game. It was pretty fun and a great conditioning workout. Hopefully no one was watching and wondering why the old guy was playing a pretend game of baseball on the kids’ field, all the way down to giving the third base coach a high five after I hit a walk off homer. :)

Had an unexpected open hour so I walked over to the park and ran around a bit…

Nothing structured, just ran around the basketball court, following the lines, zig-zagging, cutting, spinning, shuffling, back pedaling, etc.

Jumping
A few jumps onto the basketball hoop support bars and rim

Barefoot Grass Sprints
5 ~100 yard runs at a moderate pace, 75% if I had to put a number on it. Haven’t sprinted in a while so took it easy and stretched it out.

Then just walked around for a while on the grass.
