servicemen everywhere!

This weekend I've had run-ins with the fire department, FBI and LAPD. Only peripherally, thank goodness. But I'm starting to feel like I'm in an episode of Numbers, or something.

Today:
2 rounds of:
Clean and throw sandbag up the hill
15 sec pushups
Lateral throw sandbag up the hill, alternating sides
15 sec bent rows

as usual, I'm probably late to the party... just realized it would be a good idea to count the pushups and rows. right? next time, we'll have numbers.

racing against the clock

Pullups/Turkish Getups 12kg/8kg, each side
(switched out to 8kg for the last 2 sets)
Sandbag carry down and up the hill (approx 65 yards)
(plus about 20 yards of yard and porch to get from my house to the hill and back, no sandbag)
5/5, 1, 4/4, 1, 3/3, 1, 2/2, 1, 1/1, 1
in 23:54
man, the self-imposed pressure to beat last week's time is crazy. the TGUs definitely can't be rushed.

catching up on the blog

Not sure why I've been so lazy with logging these suckers. Figured I'd better catch up and start logging in real time tomorrow. That's the intention, anyway.
Meanwhile, the hill has been a trip, and my living room/gym is feeling neglected...

2 rounds of:
Lunge up the hill. (No sandbag, but will add a bit of weight next time)
Bent row/high pull/swing/push press 15#dbs, 6ea x2.

There it is. My new best friend, apparently.

Pullups/Turkish Getups 12kg, each side
(seriously, this was almost too heavy. by the end... ugh)
Sandbag carry down and up the hill (approx 65 yards)
(plus about 20 yards of yard and porch to get from my house to the hill and back, no sandbag)
5/5, 1, 4/4, 1, 3/3, 1, 2/2, 1, 1/1, 1

dive bombers

Love these birds, and the half moon behind them in the afternoon sky. I was under attack when I took this - out in the middle of the lake on a paddle boat while my friend's kid was tossing tortilla chips off the back like there was no tomorrow. We were totally dive-bombed, these two being the first of many, many more. For a minute it was Hitchcock-esque and kinda creepy, but ultimately pretty cool. Best of all, we came out unscathed, with nary a drop of bird crap on us.

So. Yah. I've been slacking this last week. Back to it:
