Notes:

* I keep falling back in love with this program.  Biggest thing about this day is how I DON’T have to think about it.  Didn’t need to come up with some crazy conditioning protocol: just put on the vest and go walk dummy.  I hit those swings at the start just to jump the heart rate a little, and because swings are awesome, and got in some of my daily squats and push ups at the end.  In truth, I intended for more, but one of my ear buds fell out in my garage and I had to spend 5 minutes looking for the damn thing.  Chaos continues to be the plan.

* Speed was the same as last week, but took on more hills.  Also used a different vest.  Yes: I have many different weight vests: I am diseased.  This one was the Ironmaster vest, which I like more than the CAP vest because the weight sits high on the lungs vs around the hips, so it adds to the challenge.

* My right knee is still feeling junked up from yesterday.  Gonna make high rep squats tomorrow super fun.  

* Weather has gotten really nice, so hopefully this means more family walks in the future.  But tonight is Tang Soo Do.

Never seen such a hench looking Colossus before
