Comeback

Unlike LL Cool J, this is indeed a comeback. No running post yesterday, no swimming post this morning. Why not? Got sick. Nothing too serious, but yesterday was enough to keep me home from work and going through an entire box of tissues. I was much better this morning, so I went into the office, and made it through the day.

Yesterday, even though I mostly just wanted to lie on the couch, I was also itching to hit the treadmill for a quick jaunt around 4. With a 80% improvement this morning, I really wanted to go to the pool to finish the week of swims. But instead, I actually listened to the advice I've given countless others, and stayed away. Trying to do a little may have caused more problems than good, especially jumping in the water while not completely over a cold. The possible drawbacks outweigh the potential gains, by a good margin.

Still, with reduced symptoms, and all symptoms above the neck, I cleared myself to hit the weights tonight. Not a bad session, I'm not sure if I had more energy from not swimming this morning, and less energy, from not getting that bump of being active. Either way, I'll keep hitting it, and seeing some minor gains.

Weights:
Chaosbringer - 2x4/48
Front squat - 3x10,10,12/105
Jackknifes - 3x10,10,10/3
Chins - 3x8,8,8
Reverse flye/Lateral raise - 3x8,8,7/15
Reverse curl - 3x10,9/43
Diamond pushup - 2x8,9/20
