Hi Folks,
I think we have the blog going after I received help from techie friend ( had to do with WordPress and not working through the normal browser), so I think we’re on the way. I’ll be updating tonight and Monday after some “to-do’s” are completed.
WATER SAVING TIP. We are at 8% of normal. We are in a serious and dire situation. Let the lawn go! I cringe when I see people hosing down their driveway or sidewalk; just use the broom! We keep a bucket in the shower and use it to water the plants outside. Recently I put a small plastic bucket in the sink. It’s amazing how much water we gather rinsing, cleaning and more: it all helps save “grey” water for other uses.
DIPSEA Training: Those who are pointing to Dipsea (11/7/21) will continue during May to build your leg strength base, hill repeats; up the weight with the loaded carries, do more Turkish Get-Ups (TGU) three days per week with two full reps on right and left sides while holding a tennis ball or water bottle starting this week. By end of June you should be lifting your bodyweight or more with the TrapBar Deadlift. Note that there is a high correlation with leg speed and trap bar deadlift.Time to focus on four sets of 4′ uphill repeats to build fitness one day per week once we’re into June.
