I am in the Valley of Broken Dreams (Los Angeles) for work, and staying at a friend’s house very close to the beach. Two days ago, I found a stairway that consists of five long flights of stairs. I decided to run sprints on the stairs for my workout. I would sprint to the top and jog back down, then immediately turn around and sprint again. After the 7th sprint, Pukie the Clown came to visit, and I got to enjoy the salami from the night before, as well as the banana from earlier that morning, all over again!

Today’s workout:
jog down to the beach (about a mile and a half), then run sprints on the hill all the way back. 45 minutes round trip. Felt great! I'll try to get out there tomorrow morning with a camera and post some pics tomorrow. Felt good to hear the ocean again.

Kettlebell snatches:
5L/5R on the minute
16 kg kettlebell
20 minutes

The 16 kg kettlebell definitely did not gas me as much as the 24 kg kettlebell did yesterday. Wanted to go lighter, and see if I could actually get to 20 minutes. I started sweating, but had plenty of wind left after 20 minutes. Yesterday, at 15, I was gasping. I'll hit the 20 kg tomorrow.

Those dates on these posts don’t lie. It's been 18 days since I posted. Went out of town and never got back into the groove when I got home. Weak excuse. I have not neglected my workouts since then, but I have neglected to post them here. So now I'm back, and here’s today’s workout:

Snatches: 5L+5R on the minute (takes around 25-30 seconds, so 30-35 second rest)
15 minutes

Tried the RKC snatch test yesterday (for my weight, I have to do 64 snatches using the 24 kg kettlebell without stopping, and only switching hands once. I did 40 (20 per side).
