Conditioning:
10 rounds sled push down and back driveway 200lb

Skipping my FM work as of late. Between being beat up by the monolith and all the OS work its hard to find time. No excuses but its extra curricular so I dont feel guilty letting it slide a bit.

Will get a mile stroller walk in after my little one wakes up.
