Vacation Wrap-up

As I anticipated, the camping trip was not too restful. As I was hiking back to our site on the last 100 yards of a half mile round trip hike (up and down a hill) carrying a 100 pound log(8ft long x 6in diameter), I thought to myself, "This is supposed to be my recovery week!" Thankfully the first half of of the trip was log free and uphill, saving the timber hauling for that downhill return trip. I was scheduled for Yoga but ended up doing Legs and Back? I really felt that in the lower back by the end. But the workout wasn't over, yet. Next came Kempo X style cardio. I was to cut this log into 2ft sections to put in the fire pit. The only instrument that was available for this task was a small hatchet(New, not sharpened?) I brought the intensity for that. I took about 10 minutes per section with this pitifully undersized tool. I was grunting and gritting and gritting my teeth the whole way through, with wood chips bouncing off my face. My diet was horrible, typical camping favorites, enough said.
