Moving about

Forced myself back in the gym last night.  I really didn't want to at all, but as usual it turned out to be a good decision.  I decided to go with some moderate bench pressing because my hips were still freaking out from the run last Saturday.  Worked up to 290lbs for four sets of five.  My right forearm felt like it was going to snap in half by the time I got up to 135lbs.  That went away after a few sets but I realized that every boney protrusion on my body is bruised.  That kindof sucks, but it kind of reminds me that I accomplished something.  I haven't been able to claim an accomplishment of any form is quite some time.  I think I'll keep one of those on the horizon to train for.  I'd sure like to run the one in March at around 14 stone.

I'd like to do two next year. I'll probably do the one on March 28th in Dallas, but I didn't figure you could make that one. But we'll catch one together down the road just a bit. supposedly they're having one in Albuquerque in 2012

That'd be mighty fine. Looks like i'll be in the middle of nowhere about then for dallas, but who knows? i might be able to make the drive to albuquerque.
