A what better sand to have in one's arse than SoCal sand?
None.
I'll hook with you guys if you're coming out here. You won't find better weather than we have here, no matter what time of the year. I won't go to LA, though, unless I'm forced…
Let's bring dirt bikes. All that vibration makes for good combs.
-
If it ends up being in San Diego, you can stay at my place Zee. I'll even let you wear that badass jacket I bought off ya last year.

Great place huh….I don't think we'll ever leave. Great place for whatever you can dream up to do in the out of doors.

How is everyone's training going? Been a bit quiet in here. Mega how is Paleo going? I have been working out daily with my bricks. 3-5 miles daily, squats, box jumps, push ups, mountain climbers all with bricks in ruck. Really getting used to the weight. Did a 5 mile hike today on some really rough terrain bricks didnt seem to slow me down. I can feel myself getting stronger on a day to day basis. 2 weeks ago the bricks felt horrible. Now i barely notice the extra weight. My ankle seems to he doing better will be jumping back into Skogg on Monday.

Good news about the ankle, d666. Lingering injuries are such a pain in the ass.
Still familiarizing myself with the kettlebells. I'm loving them, so far. The cardio workout from exercising in intervals of time, as opposed to reps, is an unexpected and pleasant surprise.
I also feel like I'm getting stronger. My repaired shoulder, especially. I'm sleeping better, too; which is big for me.
I apologize for the lack of detailed updates. I've been crazy busy, lately. I'll make more of a concerted effort to get specific workout details up; I appreciate when Doug and Z do that, so I should contribute ideas from someone far less experienced as they may be helpful to anyone in a similar situation.
-
The Z's are vacationing for the week, probably not much to report for a few more days but it's on like flan when I get back to CO! Keep up all the great work fellas!
-
Paleo is going good, I'm trying to stick as close to the Whole 30 principles as possible but I can't dig the whole psychology angle. To me, it is simply a means to an end.
Training begins tomorrow, starting out with 5 mile a day walks 5 days a week with my work pack, and a kettle bell work out every other day. When the weather improves here I'll get some evening walks done with the 6 bricks, and I also want to get back into running. Up until around a year ago I used to run 5 - 6 times a week…..then I became an unhealthy fat fuck.
Shit is getting real, but I know myself well and if I don't go in stages I will not carry it through to the end.
