More yardwork on a hot Sunday afternoon. This time putting in some pavers where the sprinklers don't reach and the grass is dead and there are weeds and some erosion. I got the pavers from a friend, who recently took them out of an area in his yard, of a house built in the 30's. So I'm thinking the pavers are pretty old because they were about 10 pounds each (12"x12"!). These are not the cheapo Home Depot pavers you get these days....clearly they made them to last back in the day. I'm not kidding. I moved about 40 of them from his place to mine, and into the backyard, and I was whooped. Putting them in was the easy part.
A good bicep and quads workout to say the least. And it was hot!
I'm a family guy who is addicted to swim/bike/run and anything to do with getting out into the backcountry wilderness areas. This blog focuses on the swim, bike, run and other various aspects of my attempts to finish in the top ten percent of my age group in whatever race I do. It used to be all about finishing the legs of an Olympic Distance triathlon: swim in 20 minutes, bike in 60 minutes, and run in 40 minutes. Now, it's more about training well and finishing well.
