Notes: 

* I originally put in for the day off work because my kid's school schedule, Valkyrie's schedule and dog's vet appointment were all coming to a head, but then my kid's school got canx due to weather, so I found myself with a much lighter load.  Slept in and took advantage of it.  Still not very restful sleep with the dog hacking through out the night, and I felt the effects this morning, as I was moving slow and things were feeling heavier than they had any right to.  I also ate somewhat light yesterday.  Good food (more of the leftover kalua pork), but smaller portions than normal.  

* The log cleans continue to improve, and I'm excited about how they'll feel with a tacky shirt.  I should bring that next time I do a max weight log clean like today.  Which, on that note, this was the first day of trying that and it went alright.  200lbs definitely feels heavier than I'd like it to, but I got it in place on one try without too much wasted energy.  I think I'm going to up the weight week to week, so that, by comp week, 200lbs doesn't feel as threatening.

* I REALLY wanted to start doing ROM progression deadlift bar pulls this week, but decided not to mess with success.  7 weeks out from comp, I don't need to suddenly pick up hip issues again.  When the comp is over, I'll include it.  I'll have "earned" the right to mess with the programming at that point, and will be willing to accept the consequences.

* Tang Soo Do got canx last night due to weather, so the Valkyrie and I did some free sparring at home.  Legit lived out one of my childhood fantasies to have a spouse I could spar with, and she had a blast as well.  We may include this on the regular.  Hopefully be able to get to class tonight.  It's also "Chef's Night Out", so I'm going to do my best NOT to eat like an A-hole with Buffalo Wild Wings.
