1/30

Workout:

30 perfect pushups
5 min plank in 4 and 1 min sets

Reading:

I finished reading Vagabonding today. It was a good book. I am not sure I will ever truly use its teachings for long-term travel. But I will try to use as much as it of possible when traveling for short periods.

Notes:

Codenames is a ton of fun, but I'm not a great clue giver.

Notes:

Less death than last Sunday, similar amount of movement. Wasted today's opportunity to get better.

Wildfire Tryouts

I did not read today.

Notes:

Should've taken a nap before tryouts. Alas.

1/27

Workout:

I did not workout today.

Reading:

I read more of Vagabonding today. It talked about 'keeping it real'. And by this, he means appreciating a place for what it is, rather than faulting it for not being what you expected it to be. Don't get wrapped up in expectations of surroundings. Rather experience surroundings.

Notes:

Rocket Power is not nearly as good as I remember. Bummer.

1/26

Workout:

30 perfect pushups
5 min plank in 4 and 1 min sets
Squats: 5x45, 5x135, 5x205, 3x225, 3x255
Deadlifts: 5x45, 5x135, 5x205, 3x225, 4x255
Big focus on depth during squats. Getting lower than I've ever gotten. Makes the last set much harder.
Per Carol's suggestion, only used switch grip on last set of deadlifts. Felt very weird. Bar was definitely slipping on 3rd rep of 225.

Reading:

I read more of Vagabonding today. It talked about 'meeting your neighbors'. It's key to spend time in both tourist and non-tourist areas.

Notes:

Good day.

1/25

Workout:

30 perfect pushups as judged by Carol
Hollywood squares with coaches
Upline D drill
6 300s @ 1:1.5 rest - only under 60 seconds on first 2. Felt awful.

Reading:

I read more of Vagabonding today. It talked about not setting limits, esp regarding times. If you book a return flight, then you are limited by that and it can get in the way of the experience.

Notes:

Finally felt normal today.

Worked from home today. Did not get anything else done.
