Enter Through the Barbarian’s Gate
This is the time of the year southern Californians dread; wildfire season. With at least 4 wildfires raging along with triple-digit temperatures and low humidity, this is a very challenging time for the firefighters doing what they do best, but not without big problems, including casualties and injuries.
I started this week with a rest day and finished it the same way. It was what happened between those days that killed!

Ran a mile with the 35# Bulgarian Training Bag. I stopped 11 times and 6 times I did 10 swings each and 5 times I performed 20 push-ups each time.
I cannot wait for the game between Green Bay and Minnesota. Monday, October 5th on ESPN. Mark your calendar. It is the 4th game of the regular season and in the NFL, a lot can happen. I hope Favre lines up against our new 3-4 defense and they make him regret ever coming out of retirement. He wanted to get back at the Packers and it appears he will get his chance. Bring it!

Bulgarian Training Bag, 60 reps each:
Some Americans seem to think anything that is European must be cool and maybe it is, I dunno. But I do know I have a Hungarian Core Blaster and it is cool. Now I have a home-brew Bulgarian Training Bag and it too is cool. For the uninitiated, these are fitness implements and why else would you be here, right?
To add to my odd collection, I will one day acquire a Danish Viking Mace on a Chain, but first I must get acquainted with my newly-named Big Sausage Bag, BSB.

Keg Training: Took an empty keg (38#) to the park, marked off a 100 meter section, including sand and hills and did a timed 20 minute workout consisting of 12 rounds of 100 meter “keg runs” and 20 reps of push-ups, presses, burpees, bear hug squats, back squats and lunges. I then ran the 1/4 mile back home with the keg on my back. That was a smoker!
