AM WORKOUT (0359 natural wake up)

**12 LABORS: CAPTURING THE ERYMANTHIAN BOAR**

*Tactical Barbell Operator* Cycle 1, Week 4, Workout 2

“90 Minute Ruck”

Treadmill walk w/45lb vest

5 miles in 1:30:24

Incline 4

Notes:

* Started at 3.2mph pace, and gradually upped it to 3.4.  Got in over 11k steps before 0600.  Good day there. 

* Slept really well last night, and got up 30 seconds before my alarm was going to go off.  That’s a great feeling.  

* Got in a 2.3 mile walk last night post dinner with the Mrs as well, so activity has been good.

* The last 20 minutes of this walk sucked a little.  The vest wasn’t bugging me too bad, but after 70 minutes I was just kinda over it.  Still, should be conditioning me well for a 10 mile run.  The soles of my feet are a little torn up because I’m still wearing my barefoot shoes but with socks that aren’t very awesome, so they got scrapped up.  

* Right elbow/extensor is continuing to mend, which meant I was happy to have settled on this workout vs anything more intensive.  Recovery is going to be key here.

* Tang Soo Do tonight.  It’s basics week, which can be a mixed bag as far as intensity goes.

* Family meal last night was an excellent opportunity to carb up.  Farmer’s casserole with bison meat, alongside a biscuit with some grassfed butter, and 4 of the Valkyrie’s peanut butter cookies with some raw local honey and some fairlife skim.   Kept the potions reasonable.  I need to factor in that I typically finish off the kiddo’s plate, so I don’t need to serve myself much of a second helping.  Still cool to observe myself continue to display metabolic flexibility: each time I eat a meal like this, I feel/respond better.
