Claire was up a lot last night, which meant we were up a lot trying to keep her placated so that our hosts could get some sleep.

Basically…
Just a play day. Dips and pull-ups at the local primary school while walking the dog. 16kg KB swings, snatches, 1H swings, flipping, pressing and bottoms-up pressing as well as box jumps on our new plyo boxes, handstands and general running around and foolin’ at Mick’s place after the big GF bbq.

This is one of those ones that looks easier than it is, although knowing that it would be I’m not sure what my assumptions really were. It was tough on the back and hands. Push-ups were, as always, a weak point.

It’s been a really good cycle, time hasn’t been generous but I’ve been really goood about both food and getting workouts in. The past three nights I’ve been getting up for Claire’s mid-night feed and change to give Fee a break. While I’m at work I’m trying to hit the sleep pretty hard. I’ve been trying Robb Wolf’s suggestion that the over loaded and sleep-deprived take vitamin C before bed as a counter-cortisol agent and, who knows, I’ve been feeling decent.
DOMS from yesterday’s FF kicked in right on about the 20 hour mark. Got it real good in the ass and hammies. Hehe.
