i might get into some "urban farming". been thinking about it for a while. and i'm enjoying this yard work etc.

with my OCD, could potentially grow a ton of stuff at this house. i have alot of fencing, could setup vertical pots along the fences and grow like 1000 veggie plants/herbs/etc........... HEH. plus it'd be portable for when i eventually move.

would be cool to grow some of my own food. or even give it to people etc.

i imagine there's ALOT to learn.

i'm in a good climate for it tho.. can grow alot in SFL.

there's some house in a community across from mine, with a very small back yard, but tons of vegetable/fruit plants etc. yard is just packed. looks really cool. i wouldn't do that because i need lots of space for my dogs to run around .. but along the fences, tons of unused space. could grow so much there.

 

same dude who made the videos above. lots of cool vids on his channel.

i just ordered a Kama (the one in the vid from Hida Tools - medium blade) because weed whackers suck. I bought & returned a weed whacker over the weekend. Thing sucked.

aahahah.

I love stairs, so much use for training, box jumps increasing the number steps every time till you reach your limit. stair runs.

I right now use it as to increase explosiveness in my sprint start by placing my front leg in a sprint start on the step and as quickly and as powerful as possible explode up using the front leg and reach a certain step.

nice!

yea i used to love running stairs.

used to run them a ton when i worked at memorial sportscenter, we were in a hospital complex which had 6 flights at the parking garage. even with only 6 flights, such a good workout.

he's detaching for a while.

sounds like he has too much "baggage" attached to running.. definitely can take the purity/enjoyment out of it.

sounds kind of wrecked in this vid.

sux :/

10:00 AM: yard work (~4hr) /// more push mower lyfe
- https://www.strava.com/activities/2630653495
- lost well over 10 lb of water. by the end of the 4 hours, with a gallon of water hydration throughout, i was still -9 lb than in the morning when i woke up.
- that's nuts..
- that push mower really gets you drenched hah.


08/19/2019:

10:00 PM: swim: 35-40min
- non stop swimming (something to stay afloat and move around), while constantly throwing dog toys.
- was pretty tough by the end. didn't feel that bad until i actually went to get out of the pool, then felt kinda lightheaded/weird.. body wasn't used to that kind of exercise.



08/20/2019:

08:00 PM: light swim: 24min afloat ::: did double this yesterday.
- https://www.strava.com/activities/2636954569/overview
- easier than yesterday but fatigued a bit in the shoulders/arms
- feels really good
- back/hips/legs/body feels really loose after.. kinda of mobility-ish.

wore my watch to see if i could get any good data. seems like it ignores HR for swimming. odd. maybe it can't measure in the water. HR was ~80ish throughout, so probably inaccurate. but prior to going in, standing/walking HR was 84 soo..





first tracked swim workout hah!





pizza from last weekend:
