Notes:

• Kiddo got me up at 0250 because the puppy woke up and wouldn’t go back to sleep. Laid next to the crate for 10 minutes, then inch wormed out the room and got back to bed around 0315. Alarm went off and I thought about every possible way I could skip this workout and none of the COAs worked, so I got up and trained. In turn, motivation was stupid low, and you can see in the video that I was hurting.

• Aside from the evening, last night at Tang Soo Do just took it out of me. We focused heavily on breakfalls, so it was a lot of getting on the floor and getting up from the floor. The latter is the real workout, which Dan John has pointed out among other authors. I actually saw a really decent looking prison workout the other day that was almost like a bodyweight turkish get-up that emphasized this point. An hour of doing that just had me floored. I also think I need to eat more, which is what these next 4 days will be about with our feasting.

• First set of squats had too wide of a stance. I’ll need to be aware of that.

• Carried a 212.5lb keg yesterday and weighed 83.5kg this morning.

• First physical therapy appointment will be later this morning. I’ll see if I get anything out of it.
