Burning through the Fog

"I like playing in Oakland, they have colorful uniforms"

Rickey Henderson

Colorful it is.


Thursday 7/15, four miles, no mas;
Friday, 7/17 another three mile crap day, from a workout standpoint, Rose loved the marsh.

Saturday, 7/18.  Three miles am, pm, feeling drag ass but not skipping.  Fairly lightweight deal like this:
10 Dolphin to Dolphin plank, slow
10 24KG Goblet squats
Press work, forget 32, it's hot and right shoulder is mildly verbal from earlier press fest
5+5 16kg
4+4 20kg
3+3 24kg
2+2 28kg
20 20kg tactical lunges
3x
Swings,
30/30 20 swings, 24 kg x 10
Sunday, nothing.  Do some Yoshi's runs in am, Rohn Lawrence from Pieces of a Dream and Jessy J.  Both are delightful.
Then it's Audrey's memorial in pm and I am rocked.  All those people I have known for so long.  I want to stand up and just tell them how beautiful they are, how I don't want to do this sort of thing again, but know we will and too soon.  That gets mixed up with Jay nearly three years ago and I can't talk but that's ok; the tribe gathers when members move on but no one has to do anything.  The dysfunction is acknowledged and shoved aside for what really matters; we shared formative time, laughed a lot and care deeply.  Barry gets it, everyone gets a hello and a hug.  Brigid loved Audrey and is a bit stunned, but her helpful self.  Ian and his mother no shows as is usually the case; there is always something more important to do.  For my part going to have to be sad for a bit.
Monday 7/19.  It has to be a back-off week, busy and I need it anyway.  AM workout like this:
10 pushups to 5+5 renegade rows, 24kg x 2
10 24kg goblet squats, really slow and strong
windmills, 3+3 12kg bottoms up, 7+7 16kg
20 walking lunges, 35lb dumbbells
x3, then 40 pushups in sets of 10 to get to 100.

10+10 lo to high woodchoppers
3x
Tuesday, nothing, too much work.
