c1d20 - Today

Woke up a little sore today but really not so bad.  The minor sunburn isn't red and I don't feel a thing today.  I left my fitbit at home for half the day so I went on a ~7000 step walk tonight around sundown.

c1d19 - Saturday 7/30

Primal blowout!  Man, what a wonderful day.  I woke up and had a light breakfast, pre-hydrated, then headed out to the Warrior Dash.  [Promo Video and a run through of the Kansas City track (not me!)] The weather really wasn't bad, especially when the clouds came through.  Running through the woods, water, over obstacles, over fire, and through mud was exhilarating!  I was definitely in character (Grok) as I made my way through the lands because there was one thing on my mind; a big juicy turkey leg at the end!  The light breakfast and lack of lunch kicked me into survival / hunt mode.  Had it been a longer endurance race I would have needed more fuel to get through but I was racing for no more than an hour.

I was a little disappointed that my shoe fell off in the mud pit since it had my race time tracker tied in.  When I slipped through the finish line, with one shoe in hand, it didn't record my time.  Oh well, it was still a blast and I'm already planning for next year.  I'm just glad I made it without hurting my self or getting dehydrated.

Pictures later maybe!

Nothing particularly primal about today except for the Thai Chicken Kabobs I had prior to seeing Pablo Francisco.

c1d16 - Wednesday 7/27

After spending the first 20 minutes doing laps at the community center pool, I went to the fun (and heated) side with Aimee and Isaac to play water basketball, get splashed under tipping buckets of water, and made strides against the flow around the lazy river.  We skipped the post-swim shower and went straight to the car and I was soaked so I opted for running home.  Not knowing the distance, Aimee thought it would take me 20 minutes to get home.  Wearing only my swim trunks and sandals, I made my way through weeds and tall grass in attempt to navigate in a straight line.  While mostly uphill, I made the 1.1 mile path in about 12 minutes, which contained quite a bit of walking.  I wasn't really worried about the time, this was really a "Sprint Once in a While" moment that I need to engage in more frequently.

While I type this blog post, I am really disobeying Primal Law #6: Get Adequate Sleep.  "Avoid excessive digital stimulation and sync with your natural circadian rhythm for optimal immune, brain, and endocrine function."
