vikings/saints game was one of the best i've ever watched.

the play to end the game is up there with the greatest moments in sports i've ever seen. jaw. dropped. incredible.

NFL playoffs = mind blowing as always.

my family and i were driving home from new hampshire during most of this game. by pure coincidence, we stopped to get dinner with 3:00 to go and it was on a little tv in the corner of the rest stop. we got our sandwiches and watched through the end. great timing. what a finish.

they should have gyms in airports. at least in the business lounges. i'd hit the treadmill in doha if there was one.

I kid you not that is a million dollar idea right there. It needs investigating.

turns out they do, in the airport hotel, but it costs $50. mmmm no.

i'd pay $25, though...

yesterday

- treadmill run 6.15 km in 32:00
couple of stretches of 3:55 pace, one 5:00 the other 2:xx, forget how long. the rest variable between 4:40 and 5:15 pace and a little walking at the beginning and end.

- GMB warm up

- pistols x a few

- pull up ladder x 1,2,3,1,2,3

- dip ladder x 3,6,9

- some ab stuff

- handstands x a few

- stretch

- run 5 km in 22:58
legs dead, especially calves just felt heavy. meant to run farther but this was a struggle. funny that i still beat december goal despite feeling like crap. did not check pace once during run.

- walk 1 km

- stretch

getting on a plane in a few hours. tired and sad.

Oh shoot its Kelly
Thanks for introducing me to Verk and all that. All these years ive been walking around with training knowledge that 95% of the people in your average chain gym lack. Training for VJ really teaches you some interesting things about the CNS and max strength. And this really is just from a couple of weeks of reading, too. The dirty work has already been done for us - just gotta read it and apply it.

hey you're alive!

- hike 24.16 km in 5:46
drove out to the hills with a group of friends and hiked back into town. elevation gain 2,643 feet, although overall we descended. calves very tired, especially right which was cramping a bit. feet and right shin also sore.

super worth it though. very fun.

ETA: time includes semi-frequent breaks, especially from km 5-10 when there was a lot of steep climbing and even a little rock scrambling. it was a pretty fit group so not too bad but my preference is definitely to haul ass with minimal breaks.

Damn dude. Good luck with the surgery, heal quick.

mediocre-to-poor skier here, so take this with a grain of salt, but i think you're fine to either stick with what you're doing now or do T0ddday's GPP. if you're concerned about building work capacity then i'd switch out a lifting workout for an extra cardio workout. so two days a week of the T0ddday plan, two days of LISS cardio, and one day of basketball.

another thing you could throw into the mix is more sport-specific balance training and conditioning on your lifting days. e.g.
