From "Enter The Kettlebell" by Pavel Tsatsouline, Page 82: "A passing-by jarhead buddy of his joked, “Are those your legs, or are you riding a chicken?!” Fighting men ride chickens - got a problem with that?" I am not a fighting man but I choose to ride chickens, to be strong and thin. A few months shy of my 57th birthday, I also want to be healthy in every way possible.

The usual walk+run, 3:00 walk and 4:00 run. HR looking good. Weather was miserable, got my earlier start at 6:30 am but still miserable. Peak avg was 145.4
AM: walk one hour and 20 minutes this morning -the Right of Way to the train tracks in Glen Rock. Felt good to be out for longer than the 50-60 minutes I've been doing for my walk+runs, and that was the idea.
PM:
Rings: StC + KE x 7
KB MP: 16 kg x 4, 2, 4 - improving every day, total 10 today after 6 yesterday.
walk-run as walk 3:00, run 4:00. Two days ago, I managed 4 run segments - still tired and burned out from Monday's hike in PA. Today, 5-1/2 run segments
PM:
KB MP: 16 kg x 3, 3 rf - excellent result. Continuing to find my good MP form that doesn't bother my back or my shoulder.
WHEEL: 4th step x 1, 3rd step x 5 (recent PR) - and enough for today
AM walk
PM:
Rings: StC + KE x 4
KB MP: 10 kg x 5, 12 kg x 4, 14 kg x 3, 16 kg x 2 - form not good, repeat: 16 kg x 2
NB: 16 kg is a good place for me to work, need to have perfect form and build up to 5 reps or more
NB: Not using grip to help, pressing with "spear hand"
