This isn't what they mean by "thirsty" on here, is it? #workout #running #hydration

If you're not having fun with your #judo warm-up, you might be doing it wrong. We had a #UChicagoJudo outing to The Pub afterward. Poor Olivier's pitcher had so much foam that he couldn't pour a decent glass. #workout #postworkout (at Henry Crown Athletic Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpGOAl9PtND/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Keep the #EasyRun easy. @phaeton_the_demidog understands. Also, if you finish the run as it starts to rain, you get that "aw, yeah, I'm hard-core" without actually getting too wet. Heh. #running #workout #puppy #dogsofinstagram (at La Grange, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoqkkKQLfT-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Tonight's warm-up and #ukemis recorded. Plenty of moving #uchikomi to practice our more realistic entries into tachiwaza. Drilled some ude garami and juji gatame. See you all next Monday, #UChicagoJudo! I'll be at the kata clinic Friday. Showing off my water bottle with the @skratchlabs "Skratch Labs" (get it, they're all Labradors) sticker. Yes, that's orange Clear in there. #workout #judo #hydration (at Henry Crown Athletic Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/CooLiSaNsdk/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Tonight's solo warm-up was short because I wanted us to work some full-body movements to get loose for #judo. I also put in a quick 20 minutes on the #treadmill before practice. Thank you to #UChicagoJudo for continuing to come out in such numbers. Thanks, August, for giving judo a try! #JitaKyoei (at Henry Crown Athletic Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/CogZ2ubNk9q/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Sometimes, it's raining pretty hard in the morning darkness, so you jump on the #stationarybike for 30 minutes. @phaeton_the_demidog appreciated it. We took a #walk later. #CrossTraining #workout (at La Grange, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoddZIjvNqK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I'm back. Boston was interesting (see last post). @phaeton_the_demidog missed me... I think. #travel #puppy #dogsofinstagram (at La Grange, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/Coa2y3OPl25/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Last night's #warmup and #ukemi from #UChicagoJudo and my 20 minutes on the #elliptical right before. Big-ups to Natalia and Kayla for trying randori and getting good movement in there! #judo #workout #CrossTraining (at Henry Crown Athletic Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoPluwYL_8_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Ran 5.67 km with @corosglobal, imported to #Nike ⁠#Run Club @nikerunning. Easy run around town with @phaeton_the_demidog. Dodging the cold #wind, getting traction with the Peg Trail, generally just being out there. Marginally warmer than the last couple days, despite the sun being down. #running #workout #puppy #dogsofinstagram @noxgear_nation #Tracer360 #LightHound (at La Grange, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoLr8ZULcmV/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It was waaaaay too cold today for more than a short long-walk with the pup. So I jumped on the #stationarybike this evening with hand #weights and #gripstrength gear and combined a bit of low impact cardio, some #strength, and some more great insight from @timtollefson and @corosglobal. (And don't think I didn't see you in there @yellowrunner !) #CrossTraining #WhatGoesUnsaid #BodyDysmorphia (at La Grange, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoGlBwhLzg8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

No, weather app, a sunflower is not an appropriate graphic for 2° Fahrenheit with a windchill to -5°. (at La Grange, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoFLdDIrq9b/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Just the #warmup recorded and a smaller class, but #UChicagoJudo tonight was excellent. Thanks for coming out! #judo #workout (at Henry Crown Athletic Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoEMQa0t0Vs/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Ran 12.88 km with Coros @corosglobal/Nike Run Club @nikerunning. Today's wisdom and special thanks: "To wish you were someone else is to waste who you are." Tim Tollefson @timtollefson telling the truth. Thanks to Sally McRae @yellowrunner for having him on the Choose Strong @choosestrongproject @choosestrongpodcast. Thanks to Coach Amanda @runtothefinish for the recommendation about trail shoes for snow traction (Swipe to see the beautiful Peg Trail 4 Gore-Tex). And thanks to my friends and family for your support in all that we do. Viva la Mazlamond! #running #workout #puppy #dogsofinstagram Lots to swipe through, including this afternoon's snow shoveling, a close-up of the frost on my goatee, and proof that artistic Sriracha drizzling will make even poor-man's tuna casserole look good.

Tonight was fantastic!!!!! So many folks coming out to do #judo. Thank you to everyone at #UChicagoJudo for great practices and rolling with all my semi-random #workout ideas!
