The Fish Sweats and Leg Circuit

Today I spent the day in my Wilderness First Responder recertification class. It is always a valuable refresher on skills that fortunately I do not have to use too often.

After work, six of us did a leg circuit followed by dinner at sushi with friends and co-workers that I have not seen in a long time. I did get the all-you-can-eat sushi and well... I ate all I could. This leads to what I refer to as "The Fish Sweats". It is when I lie down in bed and my body is processing all of that fish and I do actually sweat. But man, that was good food!

Today's quote is from Kurt Cobain:

"It is okay to eat fish because they don't have any feelings."

Workout: Legs
Evening Circuit: Perform each exercise for one minute to complete a set. Three sets total.
Shuttle Run
Walking Lunges
Lightweight Barbell Squats
24" Box Jumps
Calf Raises
Abdominal Crunches
Glute Hamstring Developer

Have a Great Day!

Chest, Biceps and Hurricane Odile

Our fall semester students have arrived here at NOLS Southwest and they are working hard in their Wilderness First Aid class. Today we got word that Hurricane Odile has plowed across the Baja Peninsula of Mexico and Tucson may get record rainfall tomorrow. We love rain here in the desert, but you know what they say about too much of a good thing...

Today's quote is from President Bill Clinton:

"Promising too much can be as cruel as caring too little."
