Started the day off with some rock salt bag carries, I carried two about 100m up a hill but one of them started sliding and then the handles broke and it was a mess. So instead I just carried one of them for half a mile. The last 200m i alternated between holding it over my head and hugging it. Pretty good workout, life would be harder as a fat person. Although their weight is distributed so it's not really the same or else they'd be ripped.

Then I went and played tennis with brother and did a bunch of monkey bar workouts arte, really need to find my gloves. I used other gloves today but they just aren't that good. Finished with a run.

Up a good 5 miles from last weeks mileage, steady but slow increases will lead me to success here. Next week might be big though, I'm running with taste Monday morning before he goes off to worlds and then Tuesday I will do a 7/8 miles (possibly a 10 miler with the guys in cedar) so yeah even if I only do like 5 tomorrow I might be at 25 miles after Tuesday. If that happens Wednesday will be rest or 4 miles at most. But next week could easily be a 40+ mile week, easily could get close to 50. Which would be awesome as long as I don't overdo it. I'll be careful though, I would probably go 4, 7, 4, 7-10 to finish out the week, so maybe a 47-50 mile week. I'm ordering a spear to train with for spartan and really just gonna give it 100% and hope that's enough for top 10 next month. (But really top 5 or 3)
