Happy Friday gangsters, today was a lot like yesterday work wise, of course I didn’t wake up in time for the gym, and I didn’t go after work, had a good chunk of overtime.

When I got home I helped my dad fix his truck that’s been stuck in my front yard with a busted coolant hose. Hoping to make some progress on the motorcycle this weekend, lots of wiring.

The puppy dog Bonny got professionally groomed today and looks quite dapper. She’s actually the cutest being I’ve ever seen.

Nothing really too much to report today, it was normal despite the lack of workout. I’m sore as shit from arm day though. Saw some deer around where I was working.

• Gym: Nope, slept in and worked overtime
• Bowls: One so far
• Beers: No beers to report
• Debt: A little better but definitely
• SOTD: Kiss of life – Sade

Another sleeping-in morning, which cost me my workout today because I didn’t have time after work. I had an interval run scheduled, but I’ll just do it tomorrow.

I worked with Natalie all day today, helping put up some cameras. It was hard work, but it was cool. I met many dogs today and somehow did not get any photos. The only photo I took today was of the sunlight coming through the window after I slept in. I’m trying to see the sunrise while I’m on my way to the gym or out on a mid-run.

I guess I should look for some areas to improve. If I could get better about waking up early, I think that would help a lot with school and being consistent with the gym. I need to get more comfortable with just working from the second I put my feet on the ground to when it’s time to sleep again. I feel that requires a lot more energy than I currently have normally.

• Gym: Nope, slept in and had to much Calculus to do.
• Bowls: One so far, probably two total.
• Beers: No beers
• Debt: Absolutely
• SOTD: Glory Box – Portishead

Slept in again and missed the gym, but I still went after work. That’s fine for normal people, but I just started school back, so I need to take advantage of literally every waking hour I can while keeping my sleep up to par.

Work went fine. I met a beefy cat that felt like he had a wider neck than me. The hell with smelling the roses; I’m petting the cats, dude.

I felt healthy today, though I still feel like I could have more overall energy. I had a moment of, “Dang, I am weak,” at the gym. There’s a saying I heard recently that has helped keep me motivated each day since I read it.

“When nothing else seems to help, I go and look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not that blow that did it, but all that had gone before.” – Jacob Ris

That is where Cameron Hanes says he got his catchphrase, “Keep Hammering,” and I can’t think of a cooler one.

I guess, to wrap up today, I didn’t do too much. Shot my bow when I got home, made some good dinner after and was gonna do some Calculus, butttt… I didn’t. Tomorrow is tomorrow Ian’s problem. Screw that guy.

• Gym: Yeah, but in the afternoon because I slept in. (Upper body again because screw anything else) No run
• Bowls: Half of one, probably another after this
• Beers: No beers
• Debt: Yep.

First daily post. I’m guessing I will make one before bed every night. Below I would like to add some important trackers that I think will be interesting.

Anyways, about today. I slept in, which meant I didn’t make it to the gym, but I still had enough time to have a slow-ish morning. I went straight to work and had a long meeting before I could really get to it.

I ended up driving a ton today, which allowed me to finish Endure by Cameron Hanes. Hearing the author’s voice read their own work makes listening to it a lot more meaningful.

When I got off work, I slipped over to the gym to do my dreaded first “long” run of my training plan. I finished the run after stopping to snap a photo of some deer grazing along my path, then went inside to lift.

Bow season is coming up, and I am dedicated to getting a nice whitetail buck on our dinner plates this year. Because of that, I’ve been doing bow-draw-specific training and trying to shoot my bow every day from now until the end of the season.

• Gym: Yes, but in the afternoon because I slept in. (3.75 run and “Bow Draw” specific work outs.)
• Bowls: One so far, probably another after this
• Beers: Barely a quarter of a Foster’s I said I wouldn’t waste
• Debt: Yeah.
