Aborted Session Today
I’m surprised how much I was aching today after yesterday’s Bulgarian Bag short session. But I knew the rope flow would help so nothing can stop me (except as per the below).
After my 10-minute rope flow, I decided to do some kettlebell swings, as I haven’t done any for ages.
But…
Five sets in and nature called (as it does), and that was that.
Well, when you’ve gotta go, you’ve gotta go. 🤣
Lunch was somtam with my wife (when we call it somtam, that’s papaya salad, plus ‘stuff’, such as pork, chicken, or fish, and rice. Today was sticky rice).
