28 days out from stongman

A few more weeks till the Strongman contest with rainier crossfit. Yet, there will be several events between now and then that will be tempting to leave the training.

But Aug 2nd is not far from now. So it is still playing hard, working hard and training hard.

Today was a bit rough. My body felt great and yet my head was having a hard time shaking some sort of monologue rhetoric that was running around. Crazy mind chatter.
Oh well I let it do its thing while I encouraged my body to do its and here is what we accomplish on this day.

Gold’s gym Kirkland, WA 1800-1730 on Sunday July 7th, 2008. Started my program with an advocare muscle fuel and spark cocktail 20 min before training.

Then arrived at the gym to begin with stretching hips and trunk because that is what I do and I had been in the car for two hours (yikks).
