Silver light over green and blue
And every place I travel through, I find
Some kinda sign that you've been through"
Fort Worth Blues, Steve Earle
Friday.
In early for court. One of the more amusing exercises in a long long time.
Late Pradeep. 75 minutes stretches to 100 and roll out into wet night body humming.
Saturday
Long walk with rejuvenated no longer hypo-thyroid dog. Costco and bathe her, she is glossy black and smells sweet when you bury face in her ruff. That will not last.
Around 6:00 set up for:
10+10 x 5 16kg swings warm-up.
10 32kg double hand swings
5+5 24kg mp
5+5 32kg rows
10 24kg goblet squats
5-1+5-1 24kg single arm swing descending ladder.
x 8.
Good volume and pace.
Work from 8-midnight, yes I have no life.
Sunday
Work from 8-1:00. Watch Niners go blow it. No sweat.
Monday
EH, good class. Yoga better and better.
Tuesday
Wanted more smoking bells. In very early for bu fuckaround. Good left and right 24kg press but could not clean and stick doubles to save my life. Ugh.
Back late.
10+10 x 5 16kg single arm swing warm-up.
10 32kg double hand swings.
5+5 short cycle 28 clean and press. (4's first set)
10 pushups, feet elevated.
10+10 28 kg rows
8 double 24kg front squats
15 28kg swings to 15 24kg swings
x5
Brutal circuit on the arms with the presses to decline pushups. 5's were a pr with the 28, only got three on the left tho, then to 4s. Poundage was over 34k in 45 minutes which was a lot of volume with no deads.
Wednesday
Wake up feeling yesterdays squats and swings. Presses too, probably the rows as well. In really early for trx stretch and feet up the wall.
Pradeep class at lunch.
By far the gentlest class ever, only two series of dd and exactly one chaturanga. About 45 minutes of hamstring work; how did he know ? Roll out awesome.
Thursday
Drive in just so can get to CT but day stacks up and stacks up and can't get there. Needed the rest day.
Friday
Good four hours in court. In office by 1:30. Nonstop for next three hours. Just leave.
Pradeep out, need to throw metal anyway.
10+10 x 5 16kg single arm swing warm up
10 32kg swings, 15 last two sets
3+3 28kg press, to 2+2 32kg, double rights sets 3-5, left set 4. PR.
10 decline pushups, one foot up, switch at 5.
5 pullups, 16lb assist, to 3.
1 28kg tgu
15 28 to 15 24 KG swings
X 5. Ok.
Saturday
Long dog walk with the increasingly svelte Rose, and two teenagers. Want to do snatch set but nap instead. Oh well. Guess I needed that.
Sunday
Take B is for EH class. He rocks it; better and better. He has developed a very nice vinyasa. His high cobra is excellent and he pops back into downward dog so nicely. He is pretty proud of hisself too.
4:30 CT. Lunges and hip mobility helps back almost immediately. Slow mindful work is perfect, good push-up variations.
In very early for bu fuck around. Single 24s are going up well both sides and almost stick a double.
Get new glasses and EH. Great class; feel beastly strong.
It rained last week and Jennifer Jarrett posted a clip of Norah Jones singing Randy Newman's tune. Took me back immediately to HSB 2010 and Randy Newman, closing his set with that. Warmly challenging Elvis Costello taking the adjacent stage to follow it.
I still get misty over Warren's death at the drop of a hat.
Coming home the other night Allison Moorer tweets about playing accordion on Fort Worth Blues moments before and tearing up. I knew how she felt and quickly replied, I'd gotten mixed up and thought Townes had written it, she replied, straightening me out quickly. I've heard Steve every October for years now, I've watched my kids grow up. It's a marker, like a birthday, better than Christmas.
They're doing a memorial for Warren next month; It's 2/19 and with trial starting 2/21 it'll be hard on the head. Could not miss it though, could not not take B & B and hopefully I who's is having his own very very tough time.
This is exactly my kind of town; sometimes it hurts to love it so.
