tread lightly

We’re working through some recently broken hearts up here in the hollow. Treading lightly, trying not to step on any of the pieces. Part of me wants to pick them up and fit them back together; part of me knows to leave them be.

We are moved to move forward and between.

Back at it

At this point, my score doesn’t matter. The garage gym has been swept out after a long winter and I’m moving again.

Run a mile w/ the dog, then:

FGB @ 35lb.

Finally erased the 2018 WODs. Starting w a clean slate.

It takes time to build a gym in your garage. Bit by bit over time, you collect the necessary gear. Most times you improvise. The movements in the WOD dictate, and you get creative to make whatever’s available work for you. Sometimes you splurge, but most times you just make due. When I finally did buy a kettlebell, I overachieved and ordered the 44lbs. I might have been that strong way back in…

squat and run

Front Squat 5 x3 @ 55, 55, 55, 60, 70

Then, partner wod with the dog: run 2.5 miles.

Who was it that said, why would you want to only do the things you’re good at? When you’re terrible at something, do more of it!

“If I couldn’t handle not being good at something, then how could I consider myself a successful person?”

Front squats are my nemesis, so I do more of them.

the dreaded front squat

the dreaded front squat

Why are they so hard? Seriously. I dread them. Not the most graceful movement for tall people, at least not me anyway. Ran and 1.5 with the dog and somehow pulled off the following:

Front squat 3-3-3-3-3 reps

Started with the 35lbs. bar. Worked my way up to 70lbs. Having not FS’ed in about a year, I’ll take it. Onward.

Here’s the dog thinking, oh no, not this shit again.
