The Difficult Kind

"I am very picky about my people and my beer."  
Shelby Lynne

Shelby was at Yoshi's this week and despite having nine comp tickets, I didn't go.  I should have.  Shelby is smart and extraordinarily talented, here appearing as Sheryl Crow's doppelganger on The Difficult Kind, from the 2003 Grammy's, back when she was flirting briefly with mainstream commercial success.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQBlBbzVeog&feature=related.  She blows Sheryl Crow off the stage just standing there;  even the N'sync guys in the front row could not have missed the appeal of a real WOMAN belting it out with devastating confidence.  Wow, Britney who ?
But I didn't go.  I thought it would be too hard to hard to juggle the scheduling from 30 miles north and B would have had to come and could not figure out how to get him into the city without going and collecting him and returning and blah, blah, blah, blah blah.  Dipshit, just do it.  Maybe next time for Nashville-by-way-of-Palm Desert meets Yoshi's.  Sushi and sake don't leap to mind listening to her but it woulda worked.
Get over it.
Monday, six miles
Tuesday, nothing in am, PM like this starting about 7:30:
Ten pushups to 5+5 20kg renegade rows x 2

Would have been fine to stop there after Sunday, but left to my own devices the default is push so
30/30 20 24kg swingsx10,

Wednesday, three miles am
PM, quick ab circuit, planks, 45 sec each front side side, 20 sec rest per.
Thursday, Four miles am, opt for rest pm.
Today, stay at home in Novato day, kind of poking at work after JL saved my bacon yesterday.  At 2:30 its a marsh walk with Ian and Rose.  Take Brigid to MST and out to the back with bells at 7:30.  Went like this:
10 dolphin to dolphin plank, slow, hard
10 20kg goblet squats

20x4/4

Crushing the 32 both sides save last on left, would have liked to finish it but, I'll take it.

Slow on the tgu's, felt very, very good, no ballistic stuff, let the hands have a break.
