Did a workout I saw on GymJones, which they took from CrossFit (150 squats, run 800m, 150 squts). I was originally planning to do a 50kg, 45kg, 40kg progression, but I forgot to add the bar, and then forgot that 2x10kgs is 20 kgs. Sets broken down as follows:
2x 25 squats @ 70kgs
2x 25 squats @ 55kgs
2x 25 squats @ 50kgs
Run 1000m
15 squats @ 70kgs
10 squats @ 70kgs
15 squats @ 70kgs
10 squats @ 70kgs
20 squats @ 55kgs
20 squats @ 55kgs
10 squats @ 55kgs
20 squats @ 50kgs
20 squats @ 50kgs
10 squats @ 50kgs
End result; my legs are shaking.

Still not dead
- Did the overland. It was a beautiful trip, though physically piss. Kicking around the idea of doing it with eliot in winter.
- Back at uni, back at the gym. Still trying to find a nice goal to work for (my workout buddies are tough but don't have any specific goals of their own), right now a planche and iron cross are the main ones, and I'm a fair way from both. Uni is sweet, second year kicks ass. Feel like I've learnt more in the past week than in the past year... Maybe I just forgot everything I learnt last year :).
- Have started stretching. Seen a *little* bit of improvement over the past week or so, which is very comforting. Beginning to enjoy doing it too.
- Set up a 10 minute timer on my computer which starts and resets itself automatically. On the alarm I do a set of something. Nice way to keep active.
- Didn't celebrate my 3rd birthday (was out bush). Februrary 14th or 16th - I've tried and I can't remember which. Felt kind of sad... sometimes I look at all the stuff I can't do and realise how far I havn't come. This is tempered by the thoughts that I havn't dedicated myself to being solely physical, it has been the smaller part of my life. Mostly though I think I have good friends, good food, good challenges... it makes the details matter less.
