Frankenschedule


"I say when it drops, oh your gonna feel it, know that you were doing wrong."
Toots Hibbard, Pressure Drop

Monday
All the fun advertised and more. Court, file oppos and grind out four hours of expert depo where they'd spent 140k since December 13 telling us our damage theories have them concerned.
Break out for 5:30 EH. She has been taking Pradeep's classes lately which translates to more plank work for us. Drenched.

Tuesday
9:00 calls. Up at 6:30 to drop I at bus and catch 7:10 boat.
Recovery day for suspended client relationships. Calls stacked up at 9, 10, 11, 1, 3 and 4.

Do not want to skip. Tired when get home at 7:15. Do not sit down, sitting down would mean not getting up again. straight upstairs for:
15/15 16kg snatches 7 rep pace x 70.
It's really a cardio workout but it feels good to move fast for 35 minutes under the adoring if quizzical gaze of the newly svelte labrador.

Wednesday
Up late, driving to boat resigned to 7:50. Pull into lot at 7:09, one minute to 7:10. If I make it I get 45 minutes of bu fuckaround on the other end so go. 200 yard sprint, no problem.
Work on double 24s for 20 minutes before client call takes my sweaty ass outside for 30.
But in that 20 the doubles are sticking. Eyes matter (a lot) and find good combo of hip velocity, grip and eye position to get five solid sticking cleans and 15-30 sec holds. Curious to see if it carries over to next time, which will hopefully be Friday.
Working late and bail at lunch for Pradeep. Good hard push, three side plank series and lengthy one legged plank series. Long long side series as well. Feel more than the over-used awesome. Trainer S tells me it's looking very very good; appreciate it and her youthful enthusiasm.
Good convo on the way over with former collegiate gymnast lawyer buddy from building who is as committed a yogi as I. Conclusion is that these thrice weekly yoga sojurns are essential for brain chemistry and assist law practice in ways that can be quantified (see receipts reports) and others not at all. Reinforced by call on the way back from out of state expert, concluding that yes, he will have to fly from Paris directly to sf at night and be prepared to testify in Alameda superior the next day. That he rang off thanking me and telling me he thinks I am one of the most interesting and positive lawyers he has met in a very long time I attribute almost solely to what I do away from the office. Completely fuck up his schedule and he's thanking me. No problem bud.

Thursday
Time for a total off day. Late conference call seals the deal; home to cook a good curry for all.

Friday
Need speed cause no time. Grab office 20kg for four
minute true tabata squat to press and run up 21 stories. Ok.
Pm, bail at 4:15 for 4:30 Pradeep. Good 60 min and stay for 40 minutes of next before heading up to collect Brigid at Parkour, she practicing Kong vaults for an hour.

Saturday
All day drive around
Three mile marsh walk with svelte lab and second son.

Sunday
In for 90 min yoga with Barry. He rocks it as usual. Three hours in the office and its up to CT where its mobility voodoo and 28kg swings, renegade rows, and presses.  It's a full class and feel like a troll. Bigger, louder and heavier than anyone else.  I sweat like a beast and spit when breathing heavy. I am not sure I should often be out in public.

Monday
Nutty day. Leave for 5:30 EH before prepping for tomorrow. Good class, but need to push heavy overhead.  By the time tomorrow is over I'm going to want to punch something too.
