Subject: greatest horrible cross training...

so did my long run this morning, got back and my wife said - time for yard work!

I proceeded to stretch, have some chocolate milk, grab a quick bite, change clothes (plus put on compression socks and shorts) and then I spent six - seven hours digging out the dirt and very large rocks to start getting the ground prepped for my retaining wall. All in all my wife and I moved a large amount of rocks and dirt as well as getting some of our retaining blocks in place.

shoveling, pick axing, heavy lifting and digging are extremely tiring!

however relaxing afterwards by grabbing a good cold beer and dangling my legs off of my dock into frigid water was fantastic

i hope everyone else had as great a Saturday as I did!

(also - GO YANTI!!!)

I remember doing something similar a few years ago...instead of using a shovel or edger like a normal human being, I decided to edge my whole property by hand on a really hot day after a good workout...squat and pull, squat and pull...get hydrated bro!

So spent another three - four hours today working on the wall and got a the lowest level of bricks down and leveled after two hours digging. I think everything hurts at this point.

I did a 20 mile run in the morning and then moved from a one story house into a two story house on the same day. I was running on fumes but by 10:00 that night I had all of the boxes unpacked and furniture arranged. Going up and down those stairs all day was the final punishment.
