Notes:

• This may actually be the start of my bridge week. I'm fine cutting out the final workout of the cycle, since it's weights/reps I've already accomplished on Monday. My wake up time is weird because I'm working shifts these next few days, so I need to be at work earlier, but I'm also not dropping the kid off at school or the pup off at doggie day care, so kinda a mixed bag. I still like getting in those 20 minutes on the rower when I get up, so it may just be what I get up to this week. I also get off work earlier, so I have an avenue to get in training at that point. I suppose I could even bring do a split workout of the heavy lifts in the AM and the supplemental work in the PM. Chaos is always the plan.

• Tang Soo Do sparring was a decent workout last night, since it was a 90 minute class. I got to be the male division champ again, and actually had a decent enough challenge with our resident Dojang bully, due to his 6'5 Dhalsim like approach contrasting my 5'9. He liked to make use of long limbs to fight from the outside and would always charge in with a leaping roundhouse, so I learned how to move off angle and throw one of my own into his ribs. One of the junior students without a filter approached me after class and said "I was surprised you beat student X because you're much older and he's much younger: I thought you would get tired". I told him that I appreciated his honesty.

• Buddy of mine contacted me and said his freezer is full and he still has 2 more deer tags: wanted to know if I wanted a deer if he took one down. These are good friends to have. This is a good season to gain.

• Weighed 82.9kg this morning. First week with consistent upward movement.
