Weight Workout
But you know what? The ibuprofen actually worked and I was functional for most of the day. The weather forecast said rain for the rest of the week, and I almost ran today. Instead, I went to the gym, and now the forecast's been updated: mostly cloudy tomorrow! That makes me happy.
So here's the gym report:
Warmup, w/45lb bar
* Overhead Squat
* Squat
* Good Morning
* Barbell Lunge
* Romanian Deadlift
* Bent-over Row
Workout
* Incline Dumbell Press, 4x6x40lbs
* Neutral Grip Dumbell Row, 5x6x40lbs
* Scaption, 5x6x20lbs
* Incline Lower Trap Raise, 8x6x15lbs
31 minutes, 216 calories burned
More reps, higher weights for 3/4 of the workout, and I didn't start feeling sick again until I was on the way home from work. So tonight it's rest, rest, rest, for tomorrow we run!

16:25 Horrible transfer on A Christmas Story. Aside from it being fullscreen (grr), there's film specks throughout. My wife paid 10 bucks. #
16:30 "It's a major award!" #
