Polar Bear Plunge, PL + Run

Afternoon

At the Polar Bear Plunge today the Marine Corps had a booth set up with a pull up station.  Saw that and instantly was excited to do it.  20 pull ups earned a t-shirt, which I thought awesome, free t-shirt.  I got 22 reps and collected the t-shirt, which ended up being a very sweet technical tee, which just made my day.

Polar Bear Plunge today was great.  Sunny day with no wind, so it was quite comfortable at 45-degrees.  The water temp was a toasty 40-degrees.  Literally could not feel anything when plunging in.

Evening
Run at the track

1 mile

Notes
  • Body: Still a little sore in the shins.  Biceps and shoulders as well.
  • Workout: Run went well.  Chose not to go all out on the intervals and really pound the legs, set a reasonable and challenging goal and went after that focusing on technique.  Felt pretty well balanced.
