Shin Speed Training...I don't know what to call it.

## Log

Uzushiogakure...a village that stood alone on an island between The Hidden Leaf and the Hidden Mist... It was the once famous land that was home to the now nearly extinct Uzumaki clan. The clan was renowned for their incredible life force but they were feared for their adept abilities in fuinjutsu. Those who feared this clans abilities banded together to destroy the clan and its village causing those who survived to become scattered out around the world leaving the ruins of the village to sit there alone as a now empty ghost town. The ruins remained unvisited for about 300years until one young Shinobi decided to find them. The ruins would then become his personal training grounds. The shinobi's named was Shin Uzumaki, a rather popular ninja from Hoshigakure.  There he stood alone in solitude on the shore of the village looking out into the lake with his arms folded. It was only around noon time and he had already found himself on his 7th hour of training for the day. He looked out on the horizon as he stood the shirtless and sweaty as he contemplated on his current routine. His morning pre-workout consisted of 500pushups, sit-ups and squats followed by a 8mile run. He sighed as he turned around and walked back to his backpack. He sat down indian style as he pulled off his shoes. He then reached into his backpack and pulled out a set of arm and leg weights with a weighted that he continued to tie them around his already sore limbs and abdomen. He stood up slowly, his heavier than usual body sinking into the sand more than usual. He forced his legs out of the sand as he took large steps around the area in a circle to attempt to get his body a bit more adapted to the weight. The weights added about an extra 200lbs to the man's body. His brisk walk was followed by a series of small jumps to get more circulation to his legs. His face got a bit more serious as he took his fighting stance. Arms up in fist close to his chin/neck area, elbows tucked with his left arm slightly forward. His legs were spread about shoulders width in a slight angle. He took a deep breath as he threw a straight jab with his left hand. The weight's on Shin's forearms caused the rest of his muscle to work harder to execute the punch. His shoulders, bicep, tricep, lats and core all worked hard to support the extra weight. The punch was followed by a follow on punch from his rear hand. A round kick came next forcing more strength from his quadricep and core as he willed the kick to about head height before dropping his heavy foot into the sand. He alternated sides and continued to push on with this basic combination...punch, punch, kick...punch,punch,kick....punch,punch, kick. Each strike sent a series of Shin's sweat and sand through the air. He blew out quick sharp puffs of air with each technique in order to prevent straining or tiring out his muscles to quickly. He stopped for a minute after his last kick as he proceeded to walk around. He put his hands on his hips as he walked in a circle, keeping his head up to breath better. He turned towards the city and began to run back to the village ruins. He decided to take an above average pace, pumping his arms to continue working his upper body as well. He could feel the weight slowing him down but continued to push forward. He lungs and heart worked harder than usual due to the increased weight he was bearing. His focused on his breathing pattern more than anything to take his mind off the pain and keep his circulation up. He ran through the village ruins, taking the main road as he reached what appeared to be the former Kage Mansion of the village. His jogging pace turned into a sprint as he forced himself to the mansion. About 100meters was the distance he sprinted until coming to the entrance. He leaned against the dusty stone wall as he slowly slid down into a sitting position. He panted as he took off the weights, tossing them to the side as he tried to control his breathing. Altogether he ran about 15K and did about 200strike combinations. "Gotta keep pushing" he said aloud before taking a deep breathe and exhaling heavily as he felt his muscles stiffen a bit and his lungs open up. His speed training was complete for the day...it was time to build some muscle
