Got Smoke?

I've been having alot of trouble lately trying to get some blogs out there to you guy's but it looks like I have managed to get everything working some how. I have a few blogs in my draft folder that I will be posting all at once. I said I would share my journey so your probably wondering what the heck. So here it goes.

Pretty much most of my training has been indoors due to the high abundance of smoke from the fires. It labours your breathing quite a bit with very little effort on your behalf so I have been trying to stay out of it since I spend most of the day in it. Although at times it has been so bad we had to shut down. Air quality warnings are coming out in the high 10's and beyond so no sense hanging out in that. It gets so bad there is actually smoke bellowing in the streets and buildings a few hundred feet away can no longer be seen. Yellowknife is basically sourounded by fire.
I did find a cool spot to train outside though, it's fairly isolated so I don't have to worry too much about confrontation and hopefully I can get my axe out. I do have some photos I want to share with you guy's but for some reason I can't get them to upload. I am a full blown technological idiot and  I just want to smash these things. Oh well I'll figure it out. Maybe it would be easier from my phone I don't know.

So as I said alot of training has been done from my room which doesn't leave me much space. I move all of the furniture into the kitchen and train in the living room. It's getting something done but it sucks because once I'm finished, I put it all back and off to work or off to bed. My nieghbors below me really don't dig squat thrusts either. This isn't really working out the way I planned. With endless sunshine and nothing else to do I thought this would be like the ultimate training regime. Locating the local rec center wasn't so hot either, but I did find another gym to go to. I checked it out and it has alot more equipment and better atmoshere. Not that I'm a high maintenance person, I just have a really good intuition of people or situations and where things could go. Then again real life practice might work. Probably not, so I'll stick with the other plan.
Once I can get another clear day I want to get out and run 7.5 km around the lake that is just a short distance away. I want to run this as fast as I can and then do some kicks, forms, or combinations under fatigue. We'll see and hopefully you will too once I teach myself how to upload videos and pics. Until then I'll keep posting my numbers on the website.
