Down time
A beautiful day for coffee and journaling on the back porch. So grateful for a day off!
Fitness Accountability
Nice day out. Feels like Springtime! Planted re-started lettuce and celery this morning, then went to training in the garage, which I deep cleaned on Monday--more room for training!
So that my training brethren know I'm not just sitting around binge watching Netflix all day (just in the evening), here's today's WOD (ok, so I'm a day behind--but I cleaned my garage--get it? "Cleaned"? It's a weight lifting joke . . . never-mind) . . .
A.
Four sets of:
Romanian Deadlift x 6 reps (185#)
Rest 60 seconds
Single-Arm Dumbbell Press x 8 reps each (35#)
Rest 60 seconds
100-Meter Suitcase Carry + Waiter’s Carry (35#)
(hold a DB at side in suitcase carry, and another DB overhead in waiter’s carry)
Rest 60 seconds
B.
AMRAP 9
12 Kettlebell Swings (35#)
9 Goblet Squats (35#)
6 Burpees

Three New Additions To My Desk
Actually, it’s an ad-duck-tion. I missed the perfect opportunity to say, “and they’re in a row, too!” Silly goose.

The Smooth-flowing Life
Legend has it that the astronomer Ptolemy (1st century A.D.) suggested that falling stars were caused by the gods moving in the heavens, thus knocking stars out of their places. Somehow people reasoned that that if the gods were moving, they must be getting close to earth so they would lift their "prayers" or "wishes" (literally, "desires") whenever they saw the stars falling in hopes the gods would notice and grant a favorable answer. But how does one wish on falling star? Once you see it, it's gone before the wish or prayer can be made! The answer is simple: meteor shower. That's how to get your wish. Mrs. Ann Hodges had a wish fall right into her lap. Sort of.
