Wednesday April 23 day 24 of 75 TIRED

-

I am dog-tired, weary, exhausted, fatigued, and beat. Last night, I hit the pillow at 7:30 with a splitting headache and an earache that felt like a neurological issue.  In that type of fatigue, I find myself wanting to stay awake, but the only thing that works is to scroll, which wakes me up. Anyway...Shadow was fussing so Tucker got up to take care of him. I slept until about 6:45, delaying the inevitable workouts that were waiting for me. Coffee first. Eat, headphones on, and out the door by 7:45. 

Workout-Dynamic leg swings and stretch 

1 set RDL that needs to be one of my exercises                                                                                     Cossack R to L up and back around 3x8 @bar, 15#, 25#                                                                           leg press 1xno weight, 2x8@50#, 70#                                                                                                   Lunge with rotation (rotate to lunge leg), press at center 3x8 @15#, 15#, 20#                                             Landmine SL (Down leg close to bar) 3x8 r/l @15#                                                                                Bicep curl 3x8 @15#, 20# (x5), 17.5#                                                                                                 landmine T-bar row 3x8 @ 30#, 40#, 50#

 How do you win the war? With good questions. Lost Tools of Writing has laid out an easy format for asking questions in other words-thinking.  Definition: Define your terms. We can’t understand it if we don’t know what it is. While definitions used to involve at least some thinking (at least alphabetizing and spelling), today’s technology has put digital dictionaries in our pockets. Guess what? By asking the questions “what group does it belong to?” and “how is it different from others in that group?” you and your students will be doing some serious thinking. Comparison: How is X like Y? What differences spring out of this similarity? Are these differences of “a certain kind of thing” or differences of “more/less”, “better/worse”, or “bigger/smaller”? Circumstance: What in the world is going on here? What in the world is going on somewhere else? Relations: What was the cause of X? What was the effect of X? Did this effect in turn cause something else? Just because somethin...

Let me tell you about a bear, a skunk, and a hen. Day 68

 I am nearing the end of the challenge. One more weekend, 3 days of school, 1 more faculty day, and a lacrosse playoff game. I am a little undecided about whether I will drink on Friday night. I guess I have to see what happens.  Up at 4:47 still tired but I figured I needed to get up to get my walk before it got too hot and muggy  I had toast, 3 eggs, and coffee. Afterwards I took the dogs for a walk. It was already muggy and buggy. Gross. We headed out to the field then turned down icehouse so Ripper could poop in the woods. Well I turned the corner and saw a black thing in the road. I feel like it was a bear. It looked narrow but it was too slow and deliberate to be a dog. We turned and ran the other way. The black spot was still there. Finally when I took a break to walk the dogs pulled me to the right towards a clump of trees. Right there in front of me was a skunk with its tail up ready to shoot. We got away from that before it was too late. THEN a hen skirted acros...

One week later

For 60 hours, I let all the requirements of 75 Hard fade away. I had wine, margaritas, junk food and no workouts. It is time to get back to it. I have to make a decision about the 55k. Am I in?  I continued living large for the entire week post-75 hard. It has been wild. Friday was my final day. The kids were waiting for their big playoff game while I finished my checklist and cooked burrito casserole. The game was exciting with the bomb threat, change of venue, and the eventual big win. I had my margaritas and burrito casserole. We hosted Ricardo from Germany and Nomar from Brooklyn, who will be coming here next year. On Saturday morning, the boys had an easy practice, I did my long run, and we just hung out all day. I really don't remember what else we did... Sunday was Father's Day. We argued about what to do and finally said, let's go to Portland. It was a beautiful, cool day. We ate at the Port Hole (something like that). It was so delicious. I had fish tacos, Tucker h...
