Any old school Lanna students want to come and say hello to Andy Thomson? Stop by Cong Carter gym in Hua Hin. We just finished a good training session.

First day on the beach was classic, all three dogs were tentative at first, running after the waves then a quick retreat! And the taste of the water? But both Egg and Zimba got the hang of it very quickly and even ventured into the sea following me until the waves pushed them back. Little Bear has avoided the sea altogether! And they all love digging in the sand, so much easier than the red earth of home! And rolling in the rottingnfish, heaven!! Hahah! Until we get bavck in the truck!
The Cong Carter Camp was also a curiosity, strange flooring, not allowed in the ring, and only barely tolerated in the gym itself! And getting along with the six resident dogs at the Camp has been interesting!

What is this strange stuff on the floor, where is the earth? Even concrete?

No, we did not get lost in the jungle, but two weeks ago decided to take a holiday, and where else but another Muay Thai Camp! After many invitations over the years I finally dragged myself off the mountain and headed south to Hua Hin, to Cong Carter, Muay Thai Camp. Nick is an old student of Lanna many years ago and was so inspired by his stay with us, he decided to open his own Camp.
And it also allowed me to realise a dream I've had for years of taking my dogs to the beach and ocean. The three lucky ones were Zimba, little Bear, and Egg.
It was a long haul down the road taking almost 20 hours, double the usual, very hot with the truck a/c running about 50%! Luckily the first half was done at night and despite skirting Bangkok, the traffic was still heavy, the number of vehicles on the move any given day around Bangkok is astonishing! Miss the mountains, hahah!

Not many photos today, did not get outside until after 2pm, emails, messages, phone calls kept me busy! Much rather be outside getting dirty, hahaha. Still managed a good dig, then an excellent session of weights, before running the dogs. Left a bit late and finished the last part in the dark, only second time caught out on the trails in the dark, ninja time! good fun if a bit dodgy, hahah!

Some thoughts from today:
Life is never what you expect, just when it cannot get any worse, it does get worse.
Yet through adversity comes a greater understanding,
Through adversity comes unconditional compassion,
Through adversity comes renewed strength of body and mind,
Through adversity comes a true fighting spirit.
Stand strong, believe, win over adversity,
to be better and stronger than ever.

Update on the cellar, beginning to look like we are going somewhere! But hard going, will be well fit and strong by the time we finish, haha! The sled is small, can pull one handed, though it works and saves a lot of shovelling and raking!!

One for the girls, Egg, being a good boy for a change!

So I did it again, almost finished writing and then lost everything, I thought this stuff was supposed to be idiot proof! Never come across one like me I guess, haha! Shall try again!
After a slow start to the morning and a load of laundry, my early work out, I passed a serious spice test, breakfast with Javar, noodles Lahu style, which means excessive chillies! Did it burn, yes, sweating, yes, profusely, eyes watering nose running, yes, pain, No! Once again I do not understand, not long ago I would have been crying tears of pain!
Not complaining mind, it is great to be eating spicy again!
Despite the heat and late start, did into some good work today, changing old habits and developing new, covering over our recently planted turmeric plots with leaves and grass cuttings And then really got stuck into hard digging on the cellar, devised a small sled for hauling dirt, and we are constructing a land fill site behind the kitchen, expanding and leveling the dog kitchen.
Who needs exercise when you can dig holes in the hill side and haul earth on sleds, farmer walk buckets of earth, and carry sacks of earth on your shoulders! Hahaha!
I did actually, got in a full routine of deadlifts and side press, with a few different lifts added in, like the "single d/bell curl squat" the "half bench d/bell press" and "d/bell bear crawls".
For more of these slightly tweaked, slightly unusual lifts check out "Nick Nilsson, the Mad Scientist of Muscle". He has some brilliant tweaks to your usual exercises, excellent tips for improving form and results. I have used muscle tension techniques for several years now, as I had learned from books by Pavel, as a good, quick, effective way to warm up and then Nick came up with a slightly different version, squat tension, it is excellent, feels good, easy and quick to do and very effective.
And after the weights session it was up the hill to run the dogs, took a slightly shorter but more difficult route on a not well used downside cambered trail, picking up a few more scratches and scrapes on my shins and arms. But the dogs were happy, they like taking different routes and the thicker the jungle the better. They were full of energy today almost taking me out on several occassions as they barrel down the slopes at break neck speed. They do miss the bends in the trails sometimes tumbling head over heels then looking like nothing happened! Always gets a good laugh!

This was brilliant, just after taking the picture the three of them started fighting over the plastic plant pot, Lady with the white socks calmly stepped back from the fight waited a moment, grabbed the pot and was on the otherside of the ring and nobody saw her do it, calm and deliberate! This one is a truly amazing dog, so far one of the smartest and strongest for size and age that I have ever seen!

Starting to look like a hole finally, progress is agonisingly slow. This was in the morning full sun, I lasted all of10 minutes before the heat got to me. Now need to invent an earth removal system!

A new tool for the digging, maybe the head will stay on this one! Lucy likes it!
