Z3-Z4. Average/max heart rate = 158/171

This deployment continues at its usual fast clip. It's hard to believe I've already marked off half of September.

40/35/30/25/20/15 pushups. 50/40/35/30/25/20 situps. Also 60 flutter kicks.

The average heart rate is a little misleading as the last lap and a half was an exercise in feeling a little lighter, stronger, and faster. It's been a while since I've done so marked a set of negative splits.

I attribute this mostly increased core strength and some of the raw strength work I've been doing for leg presses. As to be expected, there is some return on investment, but it's about a week delayed. In the meantime, I'll continue to work this, but not to excess, which sounds like leg presses are an every-other-day thing.

Today felt pretty good, although the weather is quite pleasant and only getting nicer - although every day I get closer to winter is a day closer to vaporized particulates in the air.
