Break in workout went well. After lunch i had a 45 min nap. When i laid down, i was fine. When i got up, i had sore legs.

Thinking maybe i should limit my workout to 2 hours. My wife gets tired of waiting for me, and i can probably do the job with heavier weights and less sets.

Cut workout time to less than 2 hours, as with the increasing weights it was taking more and more time - needed more rest between the heavier sets. So i guess there will not be 10x10's, especially on breathing squat days.

Thurs 11-1-2018.

Pretty hot at times this week, up to 41 degrees. Nothing for it but to walk 500 m to the beach, which must be one of the all time best - white soft sands, gentle swells, moderate tides. Lovely.

Short, light workout this morning, as i had to get off to the state university, where i am participating in a study - "Accelerometer thresholds in activities of daily living in older adults".
Why am i participating?
[1] They invited me.
[2] They crossed my palm with silver.
