Rocks!!

A welcomed side effect to being more active is the wanting to... be even more active. I have been doing things recently that I haven't done in a while, for instance, offering to help a friend with manual labor. Its been so long since I've offered to give a hand to a friend if it meant sweat was involved.
A friend of ours is moving the rubble of his barn foundation from one spot to the other. This mainly consists of large rocks(basketball size) and some big cement slabs. I offered to help him out. He was going to use a tractor and just scoop up the rubble but I asked if I could do a bunch of wheel barrel loads for exercise. An exercise it was. I ended up doing about 10 wheel barrel loads. The distance from the old pile to the new pile was about 100 yds. It ended up being a great workout. I'm not sure how much each load weighed but they got heavier and heavier with each one. I remember smiling to myself as I was talking myself into doing a few more loads, it felt right. I felt like this is were I liked being. I liked being active and feeling like I was contributing to my training. I look forward to taking more opportunities to switch up my training and keep it interesting.
