One more excuse from me - I had a massage today after work. No working out after that!

aaah – a massage sounds awesome and sometimes the best thing for the body. You can release a lot of stress, toxins and inflammation with a good massage. Hope you feel relaxed!

Days 13 to 17 made up at the gym with my psycho trainer.
Target 40 pushups, performed 80 with one hand on a medicine ball, adding in a shoulder tap between pushups and then a 5 second hold with one hand on the ball, the other held out in front.
Target 124 crunches, performed 80 reverse lunges on a glide disk (40 per side), with a 10 second hold after each 10 lunges. And 100 single arm and 100 double arm battle rope waves. And single arm plank dumbbell rows (1 set at 25 pounds, 1 set at 30) for 20 reps per side per set, total of 80 rows. That ought to toast my core.
Target 140 squats - refer to battle rope waves all in a squat position, the reverse lunges and 40 reps per side single leg Romanian deadlift (aka drinking bird exercise) with an overhead press using 15 pound dumbbell.
People and senators, be not affrighted;
Fly not; stand stiff: ambition’s debt is paid.

I love a rest day! Had a 16 mile bike ride, seemed like it was uphill halfway and the other half was uphill after that.
Full many a glorious morn I have seen
Flatter the mountain-tops with sovereign eye,
Kissing with golden face the meadows green,
Gilding pale streams with heavenly alchemy.
**William Shakespeare **, Sonnet 33

Day 19 
with a 2.5 mile run on a perfect summer day.
Here’s flowers for you;
Hot lavender, mints, savoury, marjoram;
The marigold, that goes to bed wi’ the sun
And with him rises weeping:
these are flowers of middle summer, and I think they are given
To men of middle age.
William Shakespeare, The Winter’s Tale

Day 20 in the books! Another beauty of a day for a ride, did 23 miles just around the borders of town.
Good old grandsire … we shall be joyful of thy company.

Rest day today, that’s an easy one to check off! I stacked wood for about 45 minutes, finishing up a rack I started on the last of the previous load. Got another cord delivered on Friday, and got a start on it.
I’ll be in Costa Rica for the next two weeks, but I hope to be able to continue the challenge!
Be patient, for the world is broad and wide.
William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet
