brick kick
total: 4,825 yards = 4,410 meters

In the afternoon, I took a run. I had hoped to do a double dip, to start swimming twice per day at least a couple of days per week. I called Twin Rivers and was informed that the babies were taking swim lessons so I thought better of it and went running. I did a slow 3.62 miles.

It was pull day at Plate City. Once more, I had a terrible time getting out the back door, but I was instantly glad I made the move. I always am. On the one-armed bent row, I pulled

16 X 40
13 X 45
10 X 50
  8 X 55
  5 X 60

This was the first time I used the 60 pound dumbbells. I bought them back when I was acquiring tons of weights I was finding on Facebook Marketplace. I have been hearing from some big time lifters that you should be as strong pulling as your are pushing. I am not. I have known for a long time that to stay balanced one should do one pull for every push. Not only that, but you should, according to some, do a greater volume pulling in order to keep your shoulders healthy. Wow. So I am upping my pulling game. I added a set, and I upped the weight on the rows.

I also did a couple of 50 foot duck walks, one with 107.5 pounds and the second with 110 pounds. I finished up with one set of swim pulls and one set of 50 reps on the row machine. 

That made one solid day. Thank you, Jesus.
