Ranger Training Day 9

YOOOOOOO listen to this. I was on time this AM w/ time to spare. My whole thing is absolutely everything needs to be ready in advance. No filling water bottle that morning. No picking out clothes that morning. No packing bags that morning. EVERYTHING must be done in advance for me to be on time. Simple as that.

Todays Training:
Lap around Rittenhouse (also known as Victory Lap, im not a fan of this phrase, lol)
4 Sets - Run 1/2 way around frog green, Lunge Walk Back
4 Sets - Stand on and off bench, 20 right leg, 20 left leg, 20 jumping jacks
Victory Lap
4 Sets - 20 Stand up, sit down, 20 jumping jacks

So that stand on and off the benches was a new one. those concrete benches are kinda high. so its a pretty major workout for a shorty like myself, but i worked it out. for as well as i can do a lot of this lower body leg stuff, my legs should be fitter. i mean thats the way i see it. LOL. i just gotta keep doing it. I do notice a difference for sure. Training for running and ranger has created a bigger space b/w my inner thighs (SCORE!) and i'm noticing my calves are getting smaller (ANOTHER SCORE). My hamstrings SUUUUUUUPER tight.. i'm even doing 2 days of yoga/stretching and they're still super tight. i'm sure on an off day like sunday i'm going to notice some toning improvement. thats usually when that happens. on ur day of rest. well for me at least. thats always a fun day.. lookin in the mirror and being like, dammmmmmmmn, i like what i see.

its a REAAAAALLLLLLLY huge accomplishment to look at yourself in the mirror and see all the positive. It used to be the other way around years ago. Its quite a rarity for me to point out a negative in my head, but it does still happen. human nature i guess, but i am light years mentally and physically past where i was just a few years ago. Big Stuff kids! I owe it to never giving up. Try Try Try again. and Keep trying even though you've failed those other 77 times.
