missed some logging apparently.. just tons of dips lately (no pulls because of bicep).

2021-03-14

probably 400+ dips throughout the day, no joke. lol.

evening:
- 5:56 on sand/rock trail -> wasn't ez
- https://www.strava.com/activities/4948593844

evening 2:
- more dips, some rings
- rings with a friend, messing around
- also did a really solid 1 arm hang, surprised me.. felt like a monkey.. felt gr8.
- i think my upper is crazy strong right now

happy about that mile .. not easy to hit higher paces when the surface is a little slippery.

need to basically get my ~3 mile to 6:10 or so pace by april 17 .. then be able to drop that hard last 3rd mile in a race and get under 19.

pc!

tons of pullups/dips/farm life throughout the day. feeling crazy strong on chinups.. feel so effortless.

lots of chainsawing at 3 PM .. so like chainsawing from 3-4:30 ish. then carrying lots of logs, some pretty big.

evening run: moderate 5k test: 3.1 @ ~6:30 -> 2nd half rough (strong headwind) .. happy about how it felt
- 4.3 mi total
- head wind sucked so bad, ruined sub 20 5k for sure. so i'm def in sub20 5k shape right now, which is nice.

finished the night w/ a fire pit and fell asleep (outside) towards the end, on a bench, in pitch darkness. #thelife .. just wish the fire would keep going forever.

fun.

just made a mulch power move! someone cutting down a beautiful red wood tree near work .. so i asked them if they can drive it 1 hour away and dump it at my property, would pay. so they asked for X and gave them X + 60.

would be well worth it, if it goes well.

solid!

two days ago:

2021-03-23

tons of pullups/dips

evening: 5:39 no watch -> cool .. kinda hard tho, started out too fast it seems.. nice!
- https://www.strava.com/activities/4993381506

evening #2: 5 hours of farm life!! :wowthatwasnutswtf: :ninja:

awesome and physically rough. love it.

mulched a big trail i carved out over the last few weeks. couldn't be more happy w/ it.







yesterday:

2021-03-24

tons of pullups/dips as usual .. lookin shredded!

evening: light trot = 3 mi @ 7:37 -> super ez.. good sign!
- https://www.strava.com/activities/4999673392
- that's kinda nuts..... that's like really good fitness.. i used to trot 7:XX's when i was in peak shape before injury way back .. tho, i could do it for like 10 miles. i coulda kept this going for more miles but, keeping volume low.

evening #2: 3 hours of FARM LIFE

more mulching, shoveling, and used this big long tree that i cut down (was leaning) to make a little rustic gate :F





also, love how this came out, omg.






Man your house/land is GOALS.

damn man thanks alot hah. and ya man i pinch myself daily, no joke. it's crazy.

I would absolutely love to have something like that one day.

nice ! one day do it ! best decision i've ever made. it's like this big canvas that i get to paint for decades to come, i can't believe it. love it.

if i wasn't working in the area, i'd have moved further north and gotten 10x the land for the same price .. that's the only "bummer" BUT, the location i'm in right now is pure gold. it's incredible. surrounded by state parks, 15 min from the beach, ranches/farms everywhere, no encroachment.

just blows my mind.

and man, it's getting me in insane shape. love it.

so just keep saving & one day go for it !

pc!

yeah i was just talking with my best friend last night about the idea of buying a place together with his wife and another friend. we live in really expensive places (SF, DC) so this would be a kind of shared retreat situation somewhere cheaper and more beautiful. seems more realistic than buying homes where we live and i love the idea of (1) owning some land in common with close friends and (2) having a place that i know i can go back to year after year that's in a beautiful setting far away from crowds.
Muscles are nonsensical they have nothing to do with this bullshit.
