Bits and Pieces


"Please no more therapy
Mother take care of me
Piece me together, with a needle and thread."
Polaroids, Shawn Colvin

Labrador keeps feet warm through the vff.

I want to hate Twitter more than I do. These folks tweeting 140 character bits of themselves into the ether. Egotistical and at the same time mundane.  But I kind of like it, piecing together a picture from these bits.  I think I need to start watching more reality tv. I may really be missing something.

Saturday
Pretty much laid out after Pradeep Friday. Walk Rose with Ian, feed him. Shop. Spend all day cleaning up the carnage in the kitchen. Mundane.
Sunday. Boatload of work to do and want to blow it out physically. Dog ecstatic but gimpy so 25 minute leash walk. Into sf for 11:00 EH class. Read an article someplace the other day about people turning to yoga instead of religion and there is something to it. 90 minutes very very hard JB in back of me mixing incredible competence with being completely gassed and I so know how she feels. EH calls us into side plank series four times in 90 minutes and last I am dripping but raise up top foot rock solid and get arm flat overhead she comes by and just says "go for it, David." Last set best set.
Office two hours then up to CT from Friday fest.  Pretty smoked from EH but it gets better as it goes on and ends up just fine.
Monday
Late EH class.  Another drencher goes really well.
Tuesday
Rest day, just gotta.
Wednesday
In early, they now have twin 28kg sport bells so double mp must be on the agenda.  Happy to see those bright orange 62lb ornaments and looking froward to upping the reps.  Goes like: 
10+10 16kg single arm swings x 5
Long cycle clean and press, 5 double 20kg, 5 double 24kg, clean and press doubles 28kg x 3, 1+1 32kg x2
10 24kg front squats
5+3 neutral grip pull-ups, 16lb assist
2+2 jesus get ups with 10kg vipr overhead
x3
 That's it.

Thursday, third EH class this week.  Strongest yet.
Friday
Busy busy day gonna be late boat back so go blow it out
20 alternating floor press, 28kg, flip to ten push-ups
10 kbell front squats, twin 20's
20 renegade rows, 24 kg
10 16kg bootstrap squats
3x
5+5-1+1 one arm swing ladder, 24kg to 24kg TGU x 4
20 28kg swings to 28kg TGU x 4

Good way to end the week.  Roll down Market to boat feeling really good.
Bartender buddy on boat pours me VERY stiff scotch.  Whoa.  Checkpoint; hand cop who looks old enough to be a junior ranger the license.  "Had any alcohol tonight sir ?"  "Nope."  "Have a good night."  Phew . . . 
Saturday.
Throw ball for dog into Corte Madera creek while Brigid does Parkour.  All afternoon cleaning up the backyard with her, to the dump and shopping.  She is gassed and quiet and I get worried about the fog descending.  Bits of precious, bunch of bits of precious.  Nothing for me, feeling the work the day before, that's two rest days this week but won't make a habit of it.
