'Exit Wound'

40kg two handed swing. Barefoot, while watching the Flyers beat the Rangers.

5 reps, 7 reps, 8 reps, 10 reps, 20 reps, repeat for two series totaling 100 swings.
5 sets of 20 swings resting less than :30 between.
200 swings.
HR never climbed above 165BPM.

In sound physical condition, but I have gained weight since I moved back to PA.

I purchased organic hemp protein powder from Trader Joe's yesterday. I will be mixing this with what is left of my Soy Protein isolate and then I will move onto other forms of vegetable protein isolate. I am not a vegan, but I am phasing out leather and dairy.

I eat cage free organic eggs everyday.

My boy from the store gave me a data disk with over 100 songs written and performed by John Frusciante. I had no clue he had a solo career, nor did I have any idea of the vocal range he possessed. Dare I say I enjoy this man's work nearly as much as I enjoy the Chili Peppers.

CK-FMS round 2.5 is coming. It will be here in 11 weeks. I am excited to meet new people and review the revised training package.

Level II RKC is coming. I am scared. Though I have reached a higher rank than I ever thought possible in this system, I chose to attend the cert and meet the new requirements to prove that I am aas good as the troops. As strong as they need me to be, and willing to commit to the training required to call myself a Level II, thrice certified instructor.

I found a place to perform dead hang pull ups outside of Trader Joe's. There is a smoker's corner outside that I never visited before. Above this corner is a steel overhang. The ledge is akin to that of an I beam. I hang, with feet clear of the picnic bench by 5 inches, and perform finger tip dead hang chins. This is important to me as the night shifts I work involve more than 100 squats, deadlifts, cleans, and lunges, as well as repeated and prolonged periods of flexion involving the shoulders, elbows, and wrists.

Three sets of 5 dead hang pull ups every night, Fri Sat Sun Mon should help balance me out. When the weather breaks I will set up the TAPS unit in my driveway and have my way with it.

I apologize for the skeletal nature of this post. I am focused yet uninspired, with no desire to dress these topics up with my usual spicy verbage.

What I can tell you is that I am done waiting/looking/pining for a girl. Like Romeo, I fell in love with love, for a brief bit, and simply miss the feeling of coming home to someone. Crawling into bed with someone. Waking up to a beautiful face and then living a day with them. She'll come. She exists.

Tomorrow? Trail hike in my new sneakers.
