Taking a day off today, 100% rest. I'll just go for a walk later. Just started a nice fire for mom and myself and am sitting here with a big cup of tea chilling. Planning a 1/2 week off around Thanksgiving, 3 or 4 days of absolute rest.

I am thankful for the ability to lift. (:

I hope my pal Amy/divamom comes to visit us soon! <3

40 minute 4 mile run in sub-freezing temps today. A first for me. But certainly not a bad first. After 15min I warmed right up. Also trained abs but did not do hamstrings as I need to go off-mountain today to get groceries and such. Will do hamstrings tomorrow with back.

11-11-12 1hr 30min
DB stiff leg deadlift 111# x10x10x10x10 > 116#
1 arm DB deadlift 105.5# x8x8x8 > 108#
1 arm DB row 98# x8x8x8 ? 100.5#
1 arm DB row drop 75.5# x12x12x12 > 78#
(Stopped here to take wood delivery for 15 min)
Pullups +15# x10x10x10x10 > 17.5#
1 arm DB shoulder press 65.5# x5 (Severe core instability behind ostomy, stopped)
DB shoulder press 121# (Severe core instability behind ostomy stopped)
Seated DB shoulder press 96# x8x8x6 (I am now cutting one arm standing DB presses from my regime, and doing them seated)
DB shoulder flys 40.5# x12x12x12x X (Burnt out)

A turbulent day. Experienced severe discomfort and instability behind my ostomy while doing standing DB shoulder presses, both with 1 and 2 arms, no permanent damage.

They are now on my black list of lifts I will not do ever again. I will do seated DB shoulder presses and 1 arm seated DB presses from now on, perhaps wall-handstand shoulder presses.

Taking a day of R&R today.

Seems like I am settling into a pattern that allows me 5 days rest a month: Lift, Run, Lift, Run, Lift, Off x4. Planning a 1/2 week (3 day) rest period every 3 months.
