Aug 18 to 23

 

This was about it for us this August.

This week was a semi-planned out vacation few days that was nice until people ruined it. We booked a few days away in the RV - I wanted to hang out out by the beach and just be chill. Hardly any people about on the Monday and Tuesday, but that got so bad on Wednesday we left half way through Thursday.

Love the place, not the people. Lesson learned and I expanded my knowledge of RV life. 

The four days we were away, not much happened - even the morning sessions were slept through and sometimes ignored. Some walks, some stretching, not very much of either.

Frankly, just yeah. 

I got back into it on Friday - morning session completed by 8 am - ish and a pool swim done to finish off my rings by 6pm. Lots of activity for the day, lots of work on the keyboard, just lots done. 

I have noticed a distinct difference swimming in a 25m pool to a 50m pool. I seem slower in a 50 m pool - like I know I'm moving, but it is like I am not moving. Sigh. I get the work done, the pretty comes later. 

In the Saturday evening pool session, got to Zone Two and Three for about 10 minutes - which is cool. Again, had to spend the first few laps getting all the private pool kids noodles and toys out of the lanes. Whatever, at least they let me swim in peace ofter they left.

Morning session these mornings were added to:

8- 10 minutes shoulders and hips - 90/90 stretches, push ups, downward dogs to frog pose, baby pose, etc, etc

8-10 minutes abs - dead bugs, doggie stretches, hip extensions, swimming legs, BJJ pummelling, etc etc

5-8 minutes - KB swings - one handed and two handed, standing hip opening stuff from physio and NFL kicker dude previously posted on this blog, banded arm curls, banded overhead presses. Forearm work.
