Work today was ten hours, and by mistakenly only putting a skull cap on at the end – I’m sure I have a nice red instead of chrome dome.
“Why don’t you put on sunscreen?”
“Sunscreen is disgusting liquid gloop cancer.”
“Dude, skin cancer is cancer.”
“I don’t buy it. No one was talking about skin cancer two hundred years ago before sunscreen.”
“Touche.”
My abs are pretty sore. Maybe from rotating to stack all those, mostly fairly heavy, file boxes.
We loaded an eighteen wheeler for a customer moving down the eastern seaboard, him having somehow found himself moving with a no touch interstate driver.
…..
I fasted, more than sixteen hours, only water throughout the day – scratch that, the customer gave me a coconut water with pulp, after 630pm drinking a quart of coffee milk – steak already prepped from the other night, spuds take minutes, that for dinner with a cherry coke AFTER the lift I’ll get to soon.
As I say repeatedly about kettlebells ; it both lends itself to high frequency, and carries over well real world.
I felt good carrying today, a bit sore in the glutes, in a nice, euphoric, well activated way from yesterday’s swings.
I intend to both one arm swing and burpee tonight.
…..
My lift was a play period of freestyle burpees, overhead squats, one arm swings, and reverse curls.
Got out of breath. Got a pump.
Did something that makes it so work doesn’t take it out of me.
John Grimek wrote of this – working out building capacity to do work, so as to not be a sad sack who just slumps over at the end of his work day, it taken out of him.
Working out rightly makes work easy, and gives you energy to live, not just exist in the job-television-nightmare- repeat matrix.
Did something that makes me carry myself real well, be real capable, real world.
Do your burpees.
Do your overhead squats.
Do your swings.
And do you reverse curls for the girls.
Persistence & Tenacity

if I had a heart berserker version – pietro gubernari
I was real into it, dancing around the yard – felt really good, pictured that I was moving, in motion to the beat in a circle round the fire – trance movement, you go somewhere tip top and old before time doing so TAKE NOTE
