Not that happy with this mornings workout. It looks like my right shoulder is becoming more and more an issue. Even with the reduced number of Turkish Get Ups I ran into trouble. On the third set I went down from the 18 lb KB to a 10 pound weight. That seemed to help. No problem at all on the left side. This kind of screwed up my timing and I got a little flustered so my timing was off for the rest of the workout. I often lose my focus when things don’t go right in the beginning of the workout and that is something I have to get better at controling.

The suprise to the entire thing is that my total time came out to 32:13, just 1 minute 13 seconds longer that last week. I thought I was going to be 5 or 10 minutes out.

Still doing OK with the snatches, although it pushes me to the limit.

Monday
Circuit – Repeat for 5 total sets with 2:30 minute rest between sets
Kettlebell Turkish Get-Up
8 kg – 5 each side
Kettlebell Snatch
24 kg – 15 each

My doctor appointment is on 11-9, not to far away. I need to get this shoulder issue looked at. I have a real fear that this shoulder might keep me from doing all I want to, so this is really a big issue.

The other big suprise is that I was only up a pound after a “not-so-good” weekend of eating. I am back on track now. Have to really work hard to get ready for the weekend. A couple of months ago Mike and I were within a couple of pounds of each other with Mike being lighter. I really want to be lower than him, even if it is just a pound, when we get together this weekend.

Checked the seating for the flight on Friday evening. Only 4 seats left. Hard to believe that that many people want to go from Cleveland OH to Hartford CT on a Friday night. Does not look like there is any way Mike and I will be setting together on the flight.

Really excited about the trip. All I know about Rob’s house is that it is over 100 years old. They are not sure of the exact age because all the town records in Stratford were destroyed in a fire in 1900 so everything standing then was given 1900 as the build date.

  • Somebody wil trade seats with you. You can always keep walking up there and talking to him and somebody will ask if you want to trade.

    Have a good week and take care.

What is a baby boomer?
People born between (and including) 1946 and 1964. After American soldiers returned home from World War II in1946, the United States experienced an explosion of births (hence the name baby boom) that continued for the next 18 years, when the birth rate began to drop. In 1964, baby boomers represented 40% of the population, which means that more than one third of the population was under 19 years of age. In the 1990s, approximately 76 million people in the United States were born in the baby boom years, representing approximately 29% of the country's population. Since baby boomers make up such a sizable portion of the consuming public, their spending habits and lifestyles have a powerful influence on the economy.
