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.

A few 4kg getups to hand
Noon - walk-run - 2nd time of walk 3:00, run 3:00. Made an effort to keep HR down by running slower, which worked. avg = 127, max = 150, peak avg = 146.8
walk
First serious strength day in a bit - running has been tiring.
FSQ:
40 kg x 4
50 x 3
60 x 2
67.5 x 5, 5, 5, 5 - PR sets of 5 @ this weight. Used 1/4" heel raise for final set
60 x 2 - still with heel raise 1/4" but once I took my shoes off, the heel raises had moved, so not good.
WHEEL:
4th step x 4, full extension
3rd step x 3, also full extension
NB: Having worked from 4th step to 3rd and then to 2nd but without really full extension, then going back to the 4th step but with full extension was a good thing. 2nd step gave me the strength and the confidence to go further on the 4th step the second time around.
Saturday, June 14 - a StC in the morning, then played piano and guitar for 4 hours
Today, first walk-run with 3:00 walk + 3:00 run. avg=132, max = 156, peak avg=151.8 - all higher than recent weeks, but it felt great, almost easy. Weather was perfect - overcast, 62F. Was after church, which was after the big day yesterday, so clearly not at my most rested, but it really did feel great.
Walk a bit early

Walk-run. Felt tired, 10:30 am, was a bit warm and humid, went slowly, which is OK - best HR number for the week, got in an exra 1/2 repeat. Today again was 3:30 walk, 3:00 run. Peak avg was 147.6. avg = 126, max = 150
Same as Monday, avg HR was 2 bpm slower, max HR was 4 bpm slower. Peak avg 148.3. Ran at 8:15 am, earliest that I can remember of late. Time was about a minute faster overall.
