It stormed here all night long, and was threatening to continue this morning. I preemptively scheduled our Wednesday morning at the local YMCA - and it was a good thing. The weather was dry at 5:00am, but rained on and off all morning long.

This weekend was hot - the hottest it’s been all year. Sunday, at one point, we had a heat index of 105°F. I mowed the lawn, worked in my vegetable garden a bit, blew up an inflatable swimming pool for the kids, grilled some hot dogs for lunch, and got a sunburn.
The sunburn isn’t too [...]

It was raining this morning, so no outside Wednesday morning training here. I went to the gym. Today was about practicing my Olympic Lifting - mostly the snatch. I’ve had trouble with the snatch technique. I know I’m stronger than I can lift. I went through this same phase with the Clean last year. I [...]
Chess Boxing
This is a game for me. I used to be a reasonable chess player (and could be again with a little practice). I’m in decent shape and a reasonable fighter. My short arms make me not an ideal boxer, but I’m pretty quick and have good footwork. I can’t out-fight everybody and I can’t [...]
Wednesday’s workout was in three parts - a warm up and two rounds of work. The two work units were supposed to be roughly equal in intensity. I was so wrong. The second was too difficult to finish in the alloted time and the only trouble with the first was how unbelievably boring it was.
Workout
Warm [...]
