Been a long time

Enjoying the late afternoon sunshine streaming in through the bedroom window.
A cup of coffee beside me on the nightstand and NCIS on the tv....

So much to contemplate.. Being 40.. Being single... The slow and steady build up of strength in an unhappy left shoulder...

But since it's Sunday... I will let all of that heavy stuff slide...

For now, I will just sit and enjoy the sunshine on my face and the taste of Vermont Country Blend...

"I cannot become what I want to be, by remaining what I am."

last nights practice

was the only practice I managed this week.
the body felt off, the mind felt offI have hit my goals with ETK, so I have been using this time to step back and regroup and get my mindset right for the net 20 weeks while I train for the RKC....

but last night when I walked through the door (pounding headache and all) and saw my favorite workout partner - I mean who could resist?
I grabbed my 12kg and did some goblet squats and rows, then some turkish get ups,
snatches and mountain climbers

how else would you spend 45 minutes???
