Right ... been a few days. Friday I took a day off.
Saturday was a rugby day ... and we kicked butt. Final score was 70-5. It was really hot, though. I didn't measure, but I'm sure I lost a few kilos of water during the game. I did get a swim in after the game, too. Man, that felt really good.
Sunday was a recovery day. Lots of swimming, too.
Monday was a KB session in the early am'
20 swings
15 KB snatches
10 KB cleans
25 feet up push ups
Tuesday was a training day. After the semi-light session I did this for three rounds:
7 x 50m sprints
25 feet up push ups
20 seated knee tucks
20 m two feet take off jumps.
Wednesday ... onto Wednesday.

Wed and Thursday July 5
Ugh. Wednesday I woke up and felt like death. Seriously. Diet is ok these days ... but the nights are not my friend.
Thursday I got up feeling a whole lot better, still going to bed too late, though. I'm up and out of bed by 6:15am these days and so Thursday I got to do this for four rounds before work:
20 two handed swings
10 cleans each side
20m waiter press walk (each side)
15 KB snatches each side
20 feet up push ups
20 BW squats
I went to rugby and then after, had some company for the first two rounds of my three rounds of this:
7 x 50m sprint
20 push ups
20 seated knee tucks
20 m bear crawl
I felt a lot better after that then I did on Wednesday morning, to be frank. I'm selected to play firsts again. Should be about 40 degrees at 3pm Saturday. Should be a fun one. Ugh On to Friday!

Tuesday July 2
Good news: I'm really sore after today.
Actually, I haven't been this sore in a while. Seriously. My butt hurts like I've been in prison for a week and my legs are sore from sprinting last night. I believe that the line was "Run like you stole something!"
I did this for four rounds in the morning, before work:
20 Kb TH swings
10 Kb snatches
10 Kb cleans
25 BW squats
I had to get to work, which was a drag. Alas, it will improve, as I am a faithful follower of "The Third Option" - that is, I get my own stuff, rather on relying on others. It's a character flaw, but I own it.
After training, I got this done for three rounds, too:
50m sprints x 7
20 feet up push ups
25 seated knee tucks
20 BW squats
20m bear crawl

Friday, Sat, Sun and Mon July 1
Friday was a prep day - lots to get done for the next week, man. Ahead of time, all the time. I drove north for the weekend to help my parents get stuff ready for the summer.
Saturday was unreal. Lots of stuff to lift - the anchors of the dock, for example. Suckers must weigh 100 lbs, easy. Probably more. Had to lift them and get them reset. Forget about the five trips up and down the hill that they reside on, lets talk about me lifting my 30 pound son up and down that hill, too.
Sunday was more of the same, lifting and doing stuff. I also did a quick bodyweight and KB workout, just to get it done.
Monday was even more up and down that hill; my son is about 30 pounds of fun, but not so much fun when you are lifting it up a hill. Lots of prep, then a drive home. Getting ready for tomorrow.

Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday June 27
These are kinda stressful days for me. I was kept in the dark about what I'm to do in July until the last minute, and no one likes that. As it turns out, I finish work two weeks before I'd like to. That's a fair amount of money.
Training and diet are still going on, just with added calories after training. Tuesday I had a drS appointment and got a referral for massages, which should help. Rugby and sprints as normal
Wednesday I took as a stretching and relaxing day
Thursday was early workout on the beach and rugby and sprinting after.

Friday, Sat, Sun and Mon June 25
Friday I had to facesome tough decisions. I might not be able to play rugby or do the Spartan. I was at the hospital for most of Friday night, sleeping poorly.
Glad to report my child was releases sat morning and I was able to make it to play rugby. We won, but I was not up to the usual standard.
Sun I stayed home and helped with my family.
Monday was a work day and I got a 4.4 k run im

Wednesday and Thursday June 21
Well, I got a 4.5 k run in on Wednesday ... and since then my life hasn't been very much fun. For the most part, this time of the year usually rocks, but not this year. I've got something ... I just don't know how to express it ... just wrong.
My professional and personal life are rocking out. I'm playing rugby really well. I like the way my body is heading - stronger and fitter each day. But I feel as though there is just something ... missing.
It was a hot one Wednesday. I usually put my headphones on and just glide through, but it was so hot, I fely every step, and it seemed to take longer. My thoughts are not my own while running in this heat,
Thursday was a nightmare. My smallest daughter in the hospital and me with her for the entire day. Well air conditioned and safe, just more than a little boring. Meh, I needed the rest, as my legs were really hurting.
