Morning Run

Went for a 5km run this morning. Felt good, Hammys felt tight though after SLDs - some stretching should sort things out today.

I saw a field full of bailed hay on the walk - I have an idea for tomorrow!

Walks


I picked up two cavity blocks eack weight just under 27 kg each. I used some of the rope I found to make handles. I use these for farmers walks.


I use the 20kg kettlebell for suitcase walks
I use the 16kg kettlebell for 1 arm over head walks

Kettlebells

Purchased a few years ago, I have 3 Kettlebells:16kg, 20kg and 24kg. My lovely girlfriend had 2 12kg bells which I use sometimes to stuff into my sled.
Yesterday I weighed the chain and padlock I use to lock up my bike - it weighs 2kg and is perfect for increasing the weight of my bells.

Rope, rope and more rope

I was swimming at the beach one day and noticed some old netting washed up on the beach. After a closer look I realised that there was a rake of rope tangled up in it. Upon returning with a knife to cut the rope free and nearly two hours of untangling I was left with almost 100 yards of usable rope in 3 lengths - score!

Sledge

My first cash expenditure. I really wanted a sledge for a while but never had the opportunity or the location. Its only a 7lb sledge but 2 mins of swinging makes it feel a lot heavier.
It cost me 20 quid
