I've been smoke free since Monday.  Spending lots of time in novel environments without behavior-triggering events and people has made not smoking very easy.  I've experienced only 2 or 3 real, hardcore cravings since Monday night.

This is also conclusion of week 1 of ski patrol.  The job is very physical, with tasks that emulate one-legged squats, holding a shallow squat for several minutes, deadlifting, punching bags, and others, all with the additional cold-stress. 

I anticipate that so long as I remain generally hydrated and I get enough sleep, this additional physical stress won't slow my training schedule and will also contribute to the 'toughness' aspect of training that can be hard to program for.

2 hours climbing, focus on onsighting, followed by
3 x 25 kettlebell swings #35.  At least 50% easier than the first time this exercise was performed.

12/4/11

Work on ski patrol begins tomorrow.  'On-hill training' for two weeks before they cut us rookies loose.

Training this week may be comprised of running toboggans and bootpacking.
2x ketllebell workout as on 12/2/11 will be additional goals.

That little bit of work is a surprising blast to the posterior chain-- sore from calves through glutes to shoulders.

12/2/11

One hour of bouldering at 70%
75 x 35# kettlebell swing.
