Living Life Southern Cali Style!

Quick note on training...Ran 6 miles on Tuesday, and then took Wed. and Thursday off! Now the explaination...

Or the excuse if you will...I'm too tired, I jumped out of a plane at 1500 ft 3 times today and hit the ground so hard I think I broke my ass! Blah, Blah, freakin Blah! Actually, we got back late from jumping and I am a little sore and we have to jump tomorrow, so I took an extra day off. Sometimes it's better to read your body and understand that you might need an extra dat here or there to recover. I could have worked out, but my ass and legs are a little beat up, so and extra day will be good. I will hit it extra hard tomorrow I promise! I might even stop by Crossfit Coronado for the 5 pm WOD. And those guys love to punish me! I think its cause they are SEALs and I'm just and EOD Tech! lol...

I have to say, as violent as the landings are in static line jumping, and even though you jump at a "low" altitude...there is just a great rush in jumping out of a plane and falling toward the earth! I can't wait to start Free Fall next week, when we will be jumping from more like 12000-15000 feet and hurtling to the earth at terminal velocity!!! I love my job!!!
