Day 15 | Monday Run

Since last Wednesday I have been sluggishly rehabbing my right hamstring. I was active almost everyday shooting hoops, walking everywhere, and pumping out quick mobility drills but I did miss an Upper Body Training day, my Sprint day, and Temp Run day. If you want to stop reading then you should, it was my fault but to grow as an athlete I want to be 100% honest with you and myself. That's why this blog is called the Rising Grinder because I am trying to dig myself out of a hole that I created because of bad habits filled with meaningless days.

Life is not easy and it is up to us to choose what legacy we want to leave. A legacy full of bong hits, fast food runs, and careless actions leads to a worthless ending. If you have fallen into a hole it's ok, you are not the only one. Today is your day to get a little bit better and move on. Don't get upset over the days that meant nothing but take action and punch everyday in the face moving forward. Let's do this together.

So tonight I said screw it and wanted to see how far I could push myself, so here it is:

1. Foam Roll
2. Mobility
-Wall Slides x10
-Wrist Flexor Stretch x20secs/side
-Hammy Stretch x25secs/side
-Walking Spiderman Lunges x8/side
-Kneeling Wall Ankle Mobilizations x10/side

3. The Run: 
*I am a little over 2months away from my Half-Marathon, so tonight I wanted to see if I could get to around 5 miles.
