I was sick for a couple of months with an ENT infection that wouldn't go away, then I ripped my hamstring and had to take another three months off. I ended the summer overweight and weak.
I've started lifting again, but focusing on warm-up + 3x10 instead of my normal 6x6. I'm also doing 6km forced marches in the morning with an 18kg pack on an empty stomach. That's burning the fat off pretty well.
Halloween wrecked me, though, and I had to take an entire day off to recover from the hangover.
Yes, that's me making an ass out of myself.
