Pure and Golden

"Hard times ain't gonna rule my mind . . ."
Gillian Welch

Tuesday, nutty day. Grinding all day and spill out onto the sidewalk at 5:40, could so easily skip. But head north and west instead of north and east for gym time. It's packed and I don't want to miss 7:20 boat so this'll be short:

Double clean & press
5x20
4x24
3x28
1x32x2

20+20 step back lunges, bodyweight

10 20kg figure 8 to hold, to 10 24kg figure 8 to hold.

10 front squats, twin 20.
3x through, that's all. Heavy presses not very good.

Wednesday
More nutty but bail for noon Pradeep. Weighing in at four pounds heavier than usual but don't really feel it, who knows. Smoking class.
Joy gets sucked out of that very fast back in office and it's back to grinding well into the evening. The to do list is growing longer and longer while accounts shrink smaller and smaller and feel like a rat on a wheel. Cooking dinner and returning emails while the dog looks on longingly.

Thursday
Long long day
In late for:
10+10 x 3 16kg single arm swing warm up.
Burpees to 3 pushups to twin 32 suitcase deads x 5
10 double snatches, 16kg
5+5 slsx2, 16kgbu second round
20 renegade rows, 24kg
X3
Double snatches fun and 16 light so bump to 20 last set;

10 double 20 swing/snatch to 28kg tgu
X5
Fun.

Friday
Streaming Gillian and Dave on way in; feels like fall.
Long unproductive day; I do not do lunch well, particularly when gotta drive to walnut creek for it.  Back just long enough to screw around, then to 5:00 Pradeep.
Toughest yoga class I've ever done.  Boat load of plank variations and core work as well as one foot work, yes my favorite.  He knows and gives me the big fist bump in hte locker room, smiling broadly.


Saturday
Planned rest day; walk with Ian in the Marsh, dinner at Anne's and watch him smile.

Sunday
Up at 6:30 to get Amy into sf.  Drop her at ucsf and spend an hour before 9:30 class with feet up the wall.  It's Alley and she is pretty good and its a fairly tough class for her which is fine; full blown sweatfest, then back up, another dog walk with Ian.  That's all and was enough, iron tomorrow.
