Musings - Smackdown


"Found someone who can comfort me, but there are always exceptions."
Steve Winwood, Empty Pages

Wanted to do better this week; tally was 25 miles, two yoga classes, and three training sessions.  But could have done better but for a lost Friday.  Thursday was three miles in the marsh, which is all I was aiming for.  But Friday I wanted five miles and a training session, setting up a third yoga class Saturday.

Not happening.  Friday hour long meeting stretched to three and a half, so no dice,  Got a mile in the morning, and late marsh walk with Peter W., and Ian.  Stunningly beautiful, Rose was ecstatic.

Saturday, knew would have to have a bell session; yoga would be the casualty.  Rolled out on another walk with Rose and Ian, he is very chatty these days and really really good company.

Training in the pm went like this:

16 pushups to side plank, alternating sides
step back lunges, 10 l/r, 20 kg in rack
10 rows, l/r 28kg
12 front squats, 20 kg
3x
7 windmills l/r 20kg
10 clean to five press 20kg, l/r
15 swings, 28 kg
TGU's, 2 28kg l/r, to 2 20kg l/r
3x

Pressing the 20 kg was easy on the right side, which was expected, but also good on left, which after last weeks crap with the 24kg was good.  Kept the swing count low with the 28, just cause the back felt hinkey.
What was really hinkey was climbing out of the shower, stepped onto the tile floor, and slipped, bad, hit the ground hard but strong core and arms took most of the momentum out, so when the head snapped back and hit the tile step it was a hard hit, but not too bad.   Still no fun, but if I had been weak that could have been bad.
