some running at end of breathing walk, not bothering shins/calves as much, keeping steps small, and stretched hip flexors in the middle
WM: bw x 5L/R
Rings: StC x 5 w/ good feedback from Bronwen about symmetry and was able to match up a few things

24 kg x 1L/R
20 kg x 5L/R

WM, GS, 1-leg DL, Rings, MP, Archer PU, DL
Yesterday, Sunday, long walk
Interestingly, my resting pulse was below 50 for the first time in a while, not sure why but perhaps the few weighted carry session while on vacation. Will try to work those in once or twice a week.
Today, Monday
Short run at end of breathing walk, focus on short steps and high cadence, which seems to minimize calf discomfort.
WM: bw x 3L/R
Goblet Squat: 24 kg x 3
1-leg DL: 24 kg x 3R/L (that's the foot, did contralateral)
Rings: StC x 3 - first time for 3 reps, also managed to point toes and keep knees straight for some of it, little L-Sit at the bottom of some, bit of front lever practice, etc.
MP:
24 kg, lf, x 1
20 kg, lf, x 10 - first time I've done 10 presses per side in a long time
WM: 10 kg x 4L/R - improving, will go for 5 reps next time, and then up to 12 kg
PU: archer, lf, 1, 1 - not so smooth, but a nice variation on a pullup, will keep doing these
DL: conventional, double overhand, 95% tng, and using slightly more turned-out stance I found last time
247 (225 lb. + 10 kg) x 3, 3, 3

Rings, 1APU, MP, WM, DL
Yesterday - finished driving home, no lifting
Today, Friday, we begin a 3-week-ish prep period for the next DDD leading up to the WNPF World's on November 11 in Kissimmee, FL.
some partner swinging 10 and 12 kg bells w/ Bronwen
Rings: usual stuff
Dragon Flag x 2 - need to work up to 5 or so reps with this before doing a lot of ring levers, I think
1APU: on bench so about 17" high, lf, 1, 2 - Bronwen watched, said set of 2 looked very good on both sides. Right shoulder was a little sore after set of 1, less so after set of 2
MP: 24 kg, lf, x 2, 4 - that's a recent PR, but form on right side still weird, with all the weight landing on my right foot or so it seems. On the left side, I seem to be able to keep the weight better centered.
WM: 10 kg x 2L/R - again, right shoulder a little sore
PU: bw-only, bodybuilder style: ankles crossed, wide grip, attempt to pull chest to bar - got closer but still not able to touch. hold at top. 3 reps in one set
DL: - haven't DL'ed in almost two weeks, so we'll start light
double overhand
225 x 3 - 95% tng, long (3-5 sec) pause at lockout, long (~2 sec) pause at bottom. At top of first rep, tried turning feet out a little more and keeping that for the rest - felt good
225 x 3 - as above, started with slightly more turned out stance, could have done another rep
Could have done a lot more but we'll do more tomorrow

10 goblet squat - right shoulder felt a little funky
Today:
press x 3, overhead walk 50 steps, rack walk 50 steps, farmers walk 100 steps, repeat on right side.
10 goblet squats - made sure right shoulder was well aligned, 10 goblet squats, and it felt just fine.
