If Wishes Were Pigs...That Would Be Weird



Workout:

x5
20 kb swings (16kg, 16kg, 20kg, 20kg, 20kg)

x5
10 (per arm) kb snatches (12kg)
10 (per arm) sledge hammer tire slams (16lb)
100 yard farmer's carry (two 40kg kbs I think?)

x3
15 (per leg) raised leg toe touch crunches
60 second plank

Drove home, ran the dog for a mile.



The workout was hard, but good. The slow mile with the dog was an asskicker. I guess three days in a row of running the shit out of my legs finally kicked in. This does not bode well for tonight's 11 miles, with 5 pace miles in the middle. Uh oh.



YUMMY ARMPIT ACTION.

I'm trying to frontload my week so I don't have to do a hard run the day before spending 24 hours in the air, but it might not play out well. We'll see. Worst case scenario I slog through 9 miles and skip my pace run. I'm not too worried. My comfort on the plane is more important than forcing training in.

I was going to do a post that was all "Exercises To Do On The Plane" and have the body be all "EL OH EL WHO THE FUCK WANTS TO EXERCISE ON A PLANE JUST FUCKING RELAX." But, I never figured out what else would be in the post. So you get this paragraph instead. This is why I'm blogging for all seven of you and not 3 million hits a month or whatever the "I quit my job so I can post about oatmeal and camel toe for a living" bloggers get. I'm too lazy to think of content beyond listing how I sweat, and posting pictures of me looking gross.

Speaking of gross, I have a blister inside of a blister on my middle left toe. It only hurts if I poke it, so I'm just going to avoid poking it, and everything will be cake.

  1. I have a blister on my callus and it SUCKS!
    Love this post - mostly because I like sweat. If I see one of my boot campers not sweating enough to meet my standards I really make them pay for it :D

  4. It's an international flight, which means there's likely going to be two aisles...sounds like a perfect setup for walking lunges to me. Start rearranging the other passengers' luggage while they're sleeping, and you've got some clean and presses going. Lunge with the luggage above your head? Bam, waiter carries. Then run up and down the aisles cartoon style while they futily chase you for moving their shit.

    Or you could do little leg lifts in your seat, that works too.

    Have fun!!

  6. Oh my gosh, I was laughing so hard! Yummy Armpit Action! Go ahead and give that an acronym! HAHAHA! This is gross, but I find that sometimes I work out so much that it doesnt really matter how much deoderant I put on, I'm just a mess.

  7. Ah, but see, this is why I read you and NOT the bloggers who have quit their real-people jobs and sit home camel-toe and oatmeal gazing all day. Because you're interesting, funny, and have stuff to blog about even when you think you don't!! That and you kick enough ass that it inspires me to get my doughy self moving, too!

  9. So if I blog about my camel toe, it can be my full time job? That might be worth it.

  10. You know you just gave some blogger inspiration for in-flight workouts, right?
    -Laps up and down the aisles
    -Squats in the bathroom
    -Order only vegan meals and drink water

    Whenever I travel I drink wine on the plane to pass out and then eat Cinnabon in every airport because airport calories are imaginary.

  11. Okay, I'm pretty impressed with the blister in the blister. And of course, because it seems kind of gross, I am wishing you had a picture of it here. Oh well, I'll just imagine it!

    That plane right sounds miserable. I mean there's no way I could fly for 24 hours and NOT have to eventually pee! Maybe if I ever do that flight I should just get a diaper.
