Well that went well....This is after hiking around bird watching this morning too. Legs felt fine though. Again, standing start, at Newton North which is typically slower than Harvard where I set all of my records. Still, today I was almost as fast here as I am over there, I think these are my fastest times at NN...and my times keep going down during the session, which is the opposite of how it usually goes for me. I'm going to head to Harvard, probably next Tuesday and see what I can do, I think.

I woke up early this morning and figured I may as well take a trip to Rock Meadow; I hadn't been there in a month. I figured it'd be quiet, but as is often the case there was lots of activity after the rain overnight. There are TONS of recently fledged robins there, along with a family of baltimore orioles. Back in the corner of the field near the Beaver Brook North bridge I heard a Blue-Winged Warbler singing, I assume the same guy as was there in May. I hope he found a mate and was just singing for the joy of it. Quite unexpected was a singing male indigo bunting; I had heard many in May, but they were absent the last 10 days or so of the month, so I was shocked to hear one now. Not a bad looking fellow. I also came across 7 turkeys, 5 young with 2 parents. I didn't know they bred here, I also found the area where I think they hunker down at night. Other sightings include a recently fledged mockingbird with a parent, young doves, and a lot of swallow/swift activity. I don't know how to distinguish Northern-Rough Wingeds from Chimney Swifts, so it could have been either Lastly, I spotted a white-tailed deer doe. Does she cross the bridge from Beaver Brook North, or the Street?

Good session again...I realized I need more weight plates...really need Rogue to get stuff back in stock, I'm using everything I have for deadlifting. Again, taking slack out of the bar and focusing on just ripping off the floor has been key, as has been doing it in socks or barefoot. Strength still feels 'up' across the board, extra rep on 2nd set of 1.5 pullups, bb incline strength feels like it's returning too.

Now at 7.0 mph which was my goal, not looking to really go any faster, just going to stay at this speed. Seems like a good balance of speed and time it takes to do the two miles.

Another good session...although on the last 300 lbs. squat rep as I re-racked it I somehow missed the cup on the right and it fell to the safety bar with the weight still on my shoulders, had to kind of crab-squat (is that a thing? Sort of sideways squat) it up. Went way up on good mornings, felt fine. Also, I don't think I'm doing both hip thrusts and glute bridges anymore, I'm just going to pick one or the other each week, and do them in cycles. So a few weeks of hip thrusts, then a few weeks of glute bridges. They just feel like there's too much overlap, and I'm already hammering my posterior chain enough.
