Thanks to the love and generosity of the finest group of fitness fanatics in the world, we now have a permanent addition to the daily update. Also, thanks to The Professor for giving us the idea.

Hard, Medium, Easy. That's how this week has gone so far. Easy, medium, hard defines the rhythm of our program. We warm up easy, progress toward medium and hammer hard in nearly every workout. On some days, we spend more time hammering. Those are hard. Yesterday there was some hammering, but not too much. Medium. Today we enjoyed some quick paced strides across the grass but, we cut off the last mile in favor of stretching.

It is possible to train every day. The folks who win train every day. No days off. Streaks become possible only as a result of easy days. If there are no easy days, then the hard days wont be all that hard. True hard days are much harder if the proper amount of easy has proceeded it.

4 miles, 400 repetitions of various core exercise. We did 100 push ups, 40 back bends and 260 abdomen exercises. It was a walk in the park. It was as easy as eating a bag of M&M's.
