On The Side

Realize this, and you will find strength.”

Morning work

Warm up
EMOTM 5
5 Strict Press
5 Bar good mornings

EMOTM 5
5 Burpees
5 Air squat

Skill - 10 minute
P bar & Balance beam varied 

1 RM Sumo DL - only hit 205 today, just not focused
1RM Single arm press - 35# Right arm, need to get the Left arm caught up!

Hanging at the winery waiting for the carpool bus ... not a bad spot to hang! 
5 sets
10 Sandbag DL (5each side)
20 sit ups
20 push ups
20 squats

Got that 300 in easy peasy. Push ups are still a bit of an effort in the last 2 rounds when I do sets of 20.

Afternoon work

Well, swung by the gluten free bakery to find some quick carb options and tried a blonde brownie & cinnamon kind of snicker doodle. These are just not my go to things. Even in the post workout window which is where I choose to eat these. I was hoping to find some holiday treat choices. I am not really into baking but I certainly like to be brought back to those memories with a family recipe. I will keep trying. 

10 minutes of tire flipping
10 mile bike
2 mile hike

Really enjoying this effort. More therapeutic than anything. Not for time just that Low Intensity Stead State but the scenery is wonderful and my daughter was with me on this one. Lots of chatting, minimal sweat. 

Don't Sweat It!

“To be free of destructive stress don't sweat the small stuff and by realizing that all stuff is small.”

Morning Flush
#300aDay #CoolCA
1 hour Dry Sauna
Every 5 minutes 10 reps of each movements
Yep, this was new, slow and steady, breath, hydrate and find a rhythm through the hour.

Water and egg breakfast on arugula. Coffee break ;)

Afternoon Grind
Row 800
Bike 10 miles
Hike 2 miles

Hankering for a mini tri today, but the swim was out. So subbed a row to start the grind. Hike had rolling hills, good cardio output (aka LISS) today. Think this was close to 45/50 minutes.
