November 7th! Eeeek I'm fat and out of shape! 

No worries, it's plenty of time still. You'll get in better shape without much fuss I presume. 

And honestly - you are not out of shape. It's just in your head :)

Today I won't do anything training-wise. I'm getting as much rest as I can before tomorrow OCR.

You saw the other thread, right? :)

 

It was sooooooooooooo much fun, despite rainy and cold weather. It was 6km with ~30 obstacles. I failed at only couple of them, but I did more than I expected. 

 

Sadly I don't have any photos, as there was no public/audience, so I had no one to take pictures. There was couple photographers from the staff, but their photos will be put online in couple days time. Maybe I'll find myself somewhere :)

Yeah, right...

 

Jul 13th

 

Simple&Sinister:

Warm-up: 2x5 prying goblet squats 

 

Main:

10 x 10 single arm swings 

10 x 1 TGU 

 

But to be honest, I took it easy. I used 16kg kettlebell instead of usual 24kg.

Speaking of not doing anything -  another such day. Drove ~600km after work, came home slightly before midnight.

I needed to pick up my Sister and her daughter and bring them to our home. She lives half the country away, hence the distance.

Sigh. This week is a mess training-wise. But today (Saturday Jul. 18th) I did full S&S routine with 24kg 'bell. All I need more is some running or skating tomorrow, and I'll be back on track (sort of). 

 

P.S.

Edited the Log's title. Old one got outdated, and I don't want to create new Battle Log.

No cardio on Sunday. I think I will live with it (somehow) 😎 

 

But Now is Now, and I need to get back to consistent training. I already decided to drop GtG pull-up routine (at least for some time), but S&S will continue (3 times a week) and some form of cardio in the weekend will be done. On off days I will try to get some fun exercises - handstands, parkour, calisthenics etc. Or just play vigorously with kids. 

 

So...

Wanted to run some, but circumstances had other plans for me. Spent 3 hours fixing wife's car (needed to replace catalytic converter) and another two at car crash scene (I'm a volunteer firefighter/EMT). In the afternoon wasn't too eager to run anywhere.

Okay. Time to admit it - I'm backsliding with my training, but not much I can (or rather want to) do about it. There are reasons - post race blues, lots of stuff to do around the house, raising kids - to name a few. 

 

As I see it, there is no sense in forcing myself to do more right now. I AM keeping my kettlebell routine as a baseline of training, I move a lot every day doing stuff around me. I think I will be fine.
