Gymnastic Week 3 W/O1

It's a good time for Paleo as a concept.  There are some really strong ideas coming through, and an ambition to cut through the BS.  I've been spending more time in the Asylum and this post is a good example why.  Melissa at HuntGatherLove also has a thought provoking piece up at the moment.

I've read nothing to sway me from my own approach to the paleo-gig.  Real foods, some seasonal bias, respond to hunger and no grazing throughout the day.  Keep it simple - the science can bamboozle, the pseudoscience doubly so.  Avoid gurus (and messiahs!).

6. Barefoot Kill Carry (1)
7. 321 (8L, 8M, 6/8M)

I will be honest.  The day was a fantastic spring morning, but there was no spring in my step.  The leg work felt laboured at times.  I've also got an ache in my arm where I gave blood last week - and this was noticeable during MUs.  I tagged an extra rep on the last set of 321s so all is not lost!

I finished of the session with some car washing with Captain Kid and Flash.  We do it manually with a bucket of suds and a sponge.  We finish off with watering cans (filled from rainwater collectors), to rinse.  It is a great bit of fun with all the basic ingredients - a 'job to do', kids, water, sunshine.  It generally descends in to messing and laughter.
