Comments: I thought this was an improvement over the previous one--certainly subjectively--and it improved remarkably towards the weekend. The big task for the coming week will be tackling writing.

I’m off alcohol for at least the coming week, but have restarted the push-up/bodyweight/kettlebell mania from last week. I didn’t feel up to it the first part of the week. Physically and mentally fatigued. Jumped back into the kettlebells on Friday, doing 500 swings (10x50 @ lowest weight) which still murdered my hamstrings for back to back 60 minute runs Saturday and Sunday. Overall, though, it felt great to be back at it.

I’m not sure how much of an improvement this looks like over the previous week, but it felt like a much, much better one--particularly for the second half. This is good evidence for the power of pushing through when the goal is a good, solid one.
