Drive a one mile distance near your house for a course. Warm up with some nice dynamic stretching; leg swings, arm circles, calf stretches and trunk circles, slow squats into squat jumps, then:
Run a mile. Use only a moderate pace but concentrate on a shorter mid length stride; pulling your heel from the ground and leaning slightly forward vs. plodding with heavy heel strikes. Let your footfalls be toe-heel-toe, meaning make it a mid-foot strike. You'll know you're hitting it right when your lungs feel it more than your slightly sore legs.
Then after a brief cool down: Find a wall and/or a buddy and work on handstands for 15 minutes. Shoot for about 15 minutes inverted. Knees on a chair and hands on the floor, stink bug style, or practicing multiple kick ups on a wall; or ideally attepmts at freestanding. Don't rush to get to the total 15 minutes. Rest when you need it and be safe.
Then start rustling up a bar for tomorrow...

Our dogs benefited from the home-based workout.
We took them to Central Park and ran them 2.5 miles. We tried most of the obstacle course exercises, like monkey bars, balance beam and dips. All in all, a nice time.
