60 min run 
(15 min of nose breathing)

Swimming to cool down

(Easily clean and pressed the 80# both sides)

Will try to slowly incorporate more nose breathing in my LSD runs as an experiment. Played with my two kettlebells in the yard for 30 minutes later that day. Can get a great, completely random workout in whenever you need a break from routine.

Happy with the run times, not happy with how difficult it was. Should have been easier. My legs were shot from the weeks work, especially the steep hill sprints and basketball Wednesday.

(All < 20 seconds, very steep hill)

1-10-1
Swings @ 20kg

Later that evening:

90 min of 4v4 basketball 

Notes:
Very hot and humid out. Very hydrated. Hill was approx 100-125 yards long with a huge incline. 

On a side note, kettlebells work great for basketball training. They get you "strong enough" while not sacrificing bulk or quickness. The hinge motion really is sport specific for basketball. Someday I will design a basketball training program and kettlebells will have a significant role.
