Free soil: the update..

In the course of today, I have

Run/walked 4.6k

And, more importantly

Shifted ( roughly) a bulk bag’s worth of top soil: dug it off a heap, bagged it, lifted bags into my boot, and then wheelbarrowed about half of it through my house and into my back garden. The other half is stacked in its bags along my front wall.

Rain stopped me digging more this afternoon, which is probably for the best.

I did try to be conscious of my core while digging, and I think I will feel it in my middle tomorrow. Though right now I am feeling it in my thighs. Right now, I can also still use my arms \o/

I think I’m calling this one functional strength work.

Thanks. Still feeling it a bit this morning - really hoping the grandsprocket doesn’t need me to carry him anywhere! 😉

That is a good workout. I help MrRfc Run a lawn bowls club and occasionally I go down to help with lugging of soil. Boy is it hard work. Great workout though 😀.

It really was. Wouldn’t want to do it too often though.
