Day 65

This was a total, totally grind. I even wrote [this post] in between sets because it was so rough.

It was a total grind because I was pretty sore already, and it was super super cold... I can't grip onto the pull up bar in gloves, and so I've got to do the whole routine without gloves, in the unheated ninja shed. Surely though, it gave me all the points in Toughness and Manliness, even though I came inside for a steemit break to warm my hands back up.

C'mon Not-Winter! We're ready.
Arizona tricked us... it clearly was starting to spring... there were blossoms dagnammit.

Us doing our spring dance... I think I know why it's still winter.

Everything hurting during this set... especially my lats and forearms. Don't do vacays kids.

Short and sweet today... we're about to go out... at night... in the cold... to a gig. I feel so old and yet so young at the same time. I've got a full accidental bushranger beard going on so I should fit right in.
