Week 5-Deload

Last week I did not get the chance to train as much as I would have liked.  I did not get any training sessions in with weights, but I got some pretty good GPP sessions in.

Since purchasing our new house, my wife and I have a few landscaping ideas.  We have a nice pool in the backyard, with a couple of sheds behind it.  In between the pool and the sheds were three "shrubs".  We decided to take the shrubs out.  I do not own a chain saw, so I used a hand saw to cut the branches down as much as I could.  Then it was time to dig the stumps out. 

It was probably not the most efficient way to dig out the stumps, but I was knee deep in roots.  It gave me a great cardio session, and a good pump in my lower back and hamstrings from using the shovel.  Maybe that is how Clark Griswald felt in the opening scene of National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation...
