Unstoppable Machine

Day 3 of 20

35lb KB swings:
(x10, x15, x25, x50) 5x

Time: 29 minutes

I am dragging tonight. I definitely wasn't feeling it, and was very close to saying "screw it" tonight. I knew though, that if I didn't drag myself down to that frickin' basement that I would let myself down and I've done that way to much lately. I'm tired of disappointing myself. All that does is piss me off and depress me and then I"m no good to myself or anyone else. So no excuses.
I had an episode today that made me focus on timing tonight. My bonehead dog, Jambeau, broke loose from his collar twice today and went booking off down the road after another dog. I ran as fast as I could, but that little cannonball of a dog wore me out. It was humbling. I know I need work on my cardio & conditioning, that's one of the reasons why I'm doing this particular challenge to begin with. Bearing that in mind, I tried to shorten the rest periods in between each set. It worked. I completed tonight's challenge in 29 minutes. 9 minutes faster than last night. 
Tonight's music was a mix of old favorites and new. Two songs that always seem to drive me are "Machine" by Imagine Dragons, and "Unstoppable" by The Score.
