Workout notes 4.2 very easy walking miles; took photos. Then I did my usual ab set and a “shoulder friendly” weight set: rotator cuff, rows (3 sets of 10 x 135 on the Smith Machine), pullups (4 sets of 10, 1 set of 6 one of 4; some chin up style), dumbbell military presses (10 x 45, 8 x 50, 10 x 45), pull downs (3 sets of 10 x 140), incline press (2 x 10 x 135, 9 x 135), ab routine, 5 minute head stand.

I talked to a father of a graduating senior. He was quite strong. Oh yeah, he is a rotator cuff survivor too.

Injury notes My right shoulder ached last night; the 4000 yard pull set (yesterday) was stupid.

Blog humor: here is how someone on my blog roll describes my blog:

BlueOllie: Triathlon, Love of Butts & Politics

I take exception to that: I’ve only done one triathlon and I really, really, really suck on the bike!!!! But, depending on what happens with my knee (my next appointment to go over my MRI is this Tuesday), I’ll have to clean it up and start riding. So, if I can’t do the Quad Cities Marathon this September, I’ll aim for the “No Baloney” Century ride the day prior. No, I am not going to do both. I think.

I did this once: in 2006.

Quad Cities:
Photos here and here
Race reports here and here. And yes, I had an embarrassing DNF and a half marathon report too.

Yes, I’ve finished it a couple times as a runner as well (1998: 3:55, 1999 3:45) and had a couple of “pre-blog walking finishes (5:12 in 2004, 4:44 in 2002); I did the two person relay in 2000 (1:40 for my half) and the half in 2001 (1:49).

Off to work; I hope to make some progress on my two mathematical projects today.
I am planning on posting my “route” photos this evening.
