Day 96: HIIT/Abs: FIN
at some point I’ll write up a more extensive reflection of my last weeks of training, with an ‘after’ picture, and final stats. But for now, Friday Sprints/Abs complete! I’m taking the next week off training. A few bullet points:
- I’ll forever have a strange, weird, and intimate connection with the gym at north boulder rec. At 6am 2 days a week for the last 14 weeks it was a space I had all to my own.
- Part of me had secretly hoped my last training session would be off the hook and super amazing, etc, etc. Turns out it was just as hard as usual, lungs hurt, felt tired, crossovers sucked for abs, etc, etc. So goes training, and life.
- While there’s no doubt my training was *hard*, it in many ways wasn’t. Setting up for success goes a long way.
- I ended up going the entire 16 weeks sober.
- Totally failed writing my screenplay, and my sitting practice dropped off as well.
- I’m really happy I started in late winter and was able to FINISH in early summer. Feels good to be headed into this season healthy.
- Going to miss the lovely blonde that takes the step class on saturday mornings. May go a few more saturdays just for you baby.
- I’ve now done two “12 week training programs” in the last 2 years. One with a workout partner, one without. Both have numerous benefits and strengths, as well as weaknesess.
- Big love to Rob McNamura, Shawn Phillips, and “Crazy” Casey Capshaw for their tips, support, and training philosophies.
I like living clean. I like getting up early. I like being strong, and my training has in many ways just begun.
