just another beautiful saturday

so, in between GB/BW workout days, i have been trying to jumprope each day.  not alot, just something to get the heart pumping.  this morning i gotup fed the dogs, and did about 200 "reps" or revolutions or skips or whatever - then i went out to breakfast.

later i went out to rei and then to scottsdale for lunch, great weather.
took java for a walk on the canal right after i got back.

now it's early afternoon, and i'm doing laundry.
decided to swing the sledgehammer a little bit: 20r, 16r, 10r

been thinking of women in my life, most of the day, too.
some that i love, some that i miss, some that i look forward to seeing again.

beautiful day so far...

so, not actually a workout day, but i'm goofing off on the rings...

muscleups ( feet on the ground, faking it up to support ) - 5r, 5r, 5r, 5r, 5r
- really only noting this, so when i'm sore in weird places monday, i can look back and say "oh ya, idiot".
didn't FAIL on every one this time. woo!
;)
ring negative dips ( jump up, 5-10s negative ) - 5r, 5r, 5r
- first set: 1st rep 10s, 2nd was 9s, 3rd was 7s, last 2 reps were 5s
- last set: 1st rep 10s, 2nd rep 7s, the rest 5s


non-sequitur: (from a cool post on yahoo answers)

Hyenas are neither cats nor dogs.
They belong to their own family, the Hyaenidae, which also includes the aardwolf. This family is more closely related to cats than to dogs. The order Carnivora, to which the cat, dog and hyena families all belong, is divided into two branches, the Feliformia (cat-like) families, and the Caniformia (dog-like) families. The Feliformia branch includes cats, hyenas, civets and genets, and mongooses, whilst the Caniformia branch includes dogs, weasels and relatives, bears, raccoons and relatives, seals and sealions.
The resemblance of hyenas to dogs is due to convergent evolution - the process by which unrelated species evolve similar solutions to similar problems.

10.21.2012

there was something in the back of my mind, about this date.  something significant.  but i don't remember what it is now...

- it's the last day of my "rest cycle", before starting a new SSC in the bodyweight/gymnastics/whatever workout that i am doing.
- there are 71 days left in the year.
- in 1805, the Battle of Trafalgar, in the Napoleonic Wars.
- International Day of the Nacho ( Mexico and USA )

but i don't think it's any of those...
:-/

goofing

just goofing off a bit...

did some pushups this morning,
a couple of sets of kb upright rows,
and some kb laterals.

went and bought a 16lb. sledgehammer
and swung it about 10 times per side,
just to get used to the movement.

then i hiked to the 2nd bench at piestawa peak.
also goofed a bit with gait on a sidetrail.
basically i'd call it an 'oldman shuffle', lol.

keeping the knees bent with short steps,
stay on the mid and forefoot the whole time,
and just kinda fast walk / slow jog along.

didn't get hardly tired at all.
have to try it again sometime.
lol. :)
