Jockin it

Well-rounded weekend...I am still, at heart, a jock. Someone who likes to do a lot of activities, and accepts that she/he will never be the best at anything. That said, my primary activity is FMA, and everything else feeds off, or into that. Saturday, I did KBells with Trish Dong at Code 5 fitness. Comraderie, challenge, strength. Did 5mins of snatch, 12k, one switch at 2:30. 53 reps left, 52 right. Then Turkish get-ups. I looked best in the silk belly dancer outfit, but preferred the Janassarie costume (just kidding TGU is a great exercise where you go from flat on your back to upright. Very good for core, legs, balance, body awareness....you name it.) I think the benefits to FMA are apparent, but GS kbeller's will be chortling at my numbers. Sunday, did a strong uphill hike with my wife, dogs, and friends. Uphill hiking challenges the legs and the will. Again, by the standard of a hard core hiker, slow, and not far enough...for them, plenty far for me. Then did 3 minutes, 30 seconds off, rounds of carrenza, or shadow workd, with empty hand, sword, sword and shield, sticks, knife, gladius, wrestling, anyos/jurus. 18 rounds total. Sunday, went down to Kits beach, and did 37 mins. of open water swimming (I hear the triathletes that i used to hang with saying "nice warm up, dude"). I will never be the best at any of these things, including my beloved FMA, but, frankly, even if i concentrated on one, I still wouldn't be the best. And I wouldn't be having as much fun.
