It really is funny how life works sometimes. I had a rough night last night...first having to take one of my granddaughter's to an evening dentist appointment forty miles from home (mine). Got home late and had a late dinner, then found myself awake into the early morning hours...just could not get to sleep. I was feeling it all over this morning after about four hours of sleep, and my stomach was a little off to boot. I fully expected having a tough time even getting through my workout, and my squats were TOUGH, but by the time I got through my benches I was riding a nice "high".

My workouts continue to go smoothly, my lower back actually feels great, and my lifts are rising steadily. I just need to be careful not to push it too quickly...I was a little over-enthusiastic this morning, don´t need to take unnecessary risks with my meet seven weeks away.

Looking good. This weather is crazy, one day it's in the high 50's then it drops 25°.But I can't complain haven't had to use my snowblower yet.

After my workout on Thursday, I thought I might have strained a tendon in my foot...it was somewhat painful for a day, but seemed okay today and didn´t affect my workout.
