Does anyone know of a place to pick up bulk compost after noon today? I'm going to be at work till about then, and the place that said it was open till 3 actually isn't. I'm sure other people who need lots of compost also have jobs. Delivery is insanely expensive when you can hire a UHaul pick up for $20.
Our car was making a burning smell the whole way to work today. We lifted up the bonnet when we arrived at work, only to find an enormous stash of seeds on top of the engineer! A squirrel or a rat obviously found a warm place to hide out!
I think we only burnt seeds and not the small mammal itself. Hopefully.
Actual WOD today! Almost didn't go but was very glad I did, as it was a lot of fun. First part was back squats, got to 3 x 135, which is bodyweight ish, which is good. I think this is the best I have ever been at squatting, as 1 rep max is now 153. Then 6 minute AMRAP of dips and box jumps, did 3 really good rounds of dips then switched the press ups to save shoulders. Then finally 2km team row, 100m each with "NASCAR style" switches, where you undid your team members foot clips, then tightened them for the next person. Our team was amazing and we won by 5 seconds. Really fun. I can row 6 x 100m at 1.44 pace now, which is pretty cool. Was banging at 150s at 1.54 yesterday, so am definitely improving.

It was winter when I left the house this morning and spring by the time I reached New Haven! Such as shame it's going cold again by Thursday. Legs a little stiff today but surprised at how good it felt given how sleep I was when I got up.

Research work out. Same one as Saturday, but with Isabel and Jasmine. I did loads more reps and it was much more fun. Actually felt spritely!

Run into East Rock to pick up the car. Hamden was treacherous, black ice everywhere. Didn't fall over, but did plenty of comedy slides with legs going in opposite directions. Got a lot nicer when I hit East Rock itself, the trails are crunchy but not too tough. Pick up the car and into work at a decent time. Yey!
