Deload-ish Week

Tony’s note to me about today reads “Easy!” at the big parts of the program. I’m interpreting this to be, perhaps not a full deload, but some kind of “back off” week. As such, some of the weights are lower than I would normally work with. I’m not particulary good about deloading before I need it. I generally run, hard, until I hit a wall. Then I back up and run into it again. It generally takes something pretty serious before I open my eyes and realize maybe I just need to back off for a week.

I’m glad Tony is looking out for me.

This Morning

In light of tomorrow being the National Day of Caloric Consumption, I figured the gym would be full of people looking to burn some preemptive kCals. It was not.

With Marathoner on his way out of town and the pre-Thanksgiving crowd all sleeping in, I was all alone.

    Perhaps I’m dense, but I can’t for the life of me figure out what MYBH means.

    Everything with that dashed underline is an acronym. Hover over it with your mouse for words it stands for.
    In this case, “Makes You Breathe Hard”.
