Training Hiatus/Kyukei.

Yeah, coming off a 3 day weekend here in the land of the Rising Sun I figured I'd be full of vim and vigor and enthusiasm, ready to knock it out.

Not happening. Unmotivated, lethargic, tired [and somehow still sore from last Friday's wkout] it's already Wednesday and today would've made something like 4 missed wkouts.

So, we're gonna call this one a "bye" week, and dive back in next week.

I swear, this week feels like the Dark Ages back at USNA.

USNA-Net's Parents' Handbook - Plebe Year:
"The Dark Ages

As the Mids return from Christmas Leave, they must settle in for the long, cold and depressing months ahead. Traditionally, the months of January through March's Spring Break represent the Dark Ages. This is a time of shortened daylight, intense studies and little or no encouragement. This is the time when most Mids will fall into depression of one degree or another."

  1. i had a "forced" 4 day break b/c of all the traveling. was excited that the hotel boasted a gym but it wasn't what you'd think of when you hear "gym". the treadmill was circa 1980 that did have a motorized tread BUT looked like it would crush under my weight. the fact everything was in chinese didn't help. the cardio "swing" machine was two sticks and two planks to stand on, no motor. ended up going back to my room to do lunges. was able to go to a proper gym today and actually woke up at 7:30am to do HIIT. i am saying, right?!?! can't wait to get home so i can go to my gym.
