Writing this on Sunday night. Well this was going to be different!! Had the kids the entire weekend so to get a short training session in, I had to get creative. We all went down to the lake and it was pouring hard but banged out this session in between messing around with the kids and letting them hang from the pull up rings, try push-ups, and have me hold their arms while they tried pistols!! The best part of this was doing it together and knowing that these experiences are setting a foundation for them to see the example of a healthy lifestyle. Really cool, and this is very, very important to me. The gift of valuing and investing in your personal health is a very important thing.
No walking today - no time, it was raining.

This all felt great. Writing this Sunday, I definitely woke up feeling quite sore again in my R oblique, quad, hamstring, glute - basically the whole socket. Tight tight tight. It would seem that the pistols do tighten things up a decent amount and I did not do enough before and after mobility work to compensate. Frustrating. I did some mobility work this working, hip flexor stretch, doorway stretch with straight leg braced against a doorframe, some yoga stretches as well from my stomach to stretch the lower back, while contracting the glutes hard. That all definitely helped. Mobility has got to come into focus here for a couple of weeks leading up to the SFG weekend.
