DFW. Stay dangerous.
Its that time of year when you gotta get up early to do yard work or exercise outside, cuz the heat is going to oppress you after about 10:00. Got some yard work done this morning. Will cut the grass this evening. Will be inside between now and then.
This is me. Sitting in the humid ass morning air. Waiting for coffee to brew, but forgot to put water in the coffee maker. 🤦🏿♂️
Guess who got featured in the Dallas Bike Ride’s IG wrap-up of the race? Spoiler: it was me. Being great. #blackskyfitness
Solid run. I can feel Saturdays bike ride in my legs, but I didn’t let it get in my way. #blackskyfitness
You know what’s crazy? There used to be a time when running brought me joy. Now it’s a time for agony and self-loathing. In this version of my life I’m not taking “sprint” seriously at all in a “sprint triathlon”. 😩 #blackskyfitness #sprinttritraining
Went on a nice hike this morning. Good way to get the heart rate up before breakfast.
Wrapped up this bike ride at sunset. Lots of hills. 😮💨 #blackskyfitness #sprinttriathlontraining
Not race ready. But getting there. 🚴🏿♂️💨 #blackskyfitness #training #sprinttriathlon
If you didn’t go hard in the gym today, you gotta go back tomorrow. I don’t make the rules. 🤷🏿♂️ #blackskyfitness PR music:
About a year ago my Chiro told me to stop lifting heavy because my core was weak. So I started doing front squats. I was doing 65 off the rack and struggling! Today I did 170. Off the ground, no rack. Then did back squats at 180 & 190. Also, no rack. I feel strong as fk. #blackskyfitness PR music:
Skipped the gym today to spend it with my daughter. As is our custom, we went on a hike. To make it interesting, I wore a 30 lb weighted vest. It was interesting. #blackskyfitness
Did some back squats and deadlifts. Under 200lbs, but add reps for intensity now. Extra time under tension has the squats hitting my erectors and low back. Feeling DL’s in my lats. This is new. Working out is such a journey, man. There’s no ceiling. Gyms on base are the best. #blackskyfitness
Have a couple more. Happy Veterans Day to my comrades in arms who stood the watch!
This dress uniform is 22 years old. Put it on for free pancakes. Just kidding. I was invited to a Veterans Day celebration at my niece and nephews elementary school. If you can still fit your uniform issued at basic training/OCS/service academy, drop a pic under this post.
Normally I’m getting up now to walk the dog. This could be an excuse to stay in bed but I really need to clean my house. Coffee, anyone?
I got sick of sweating while waiting for my electrician. I remembered I was a technician in the navy and decided the worst thing could happen is he had to unfix my work. I fixed my AC myself. Cold air in time to watch football.
