Congratulations on showin' up and the trophy!

Spring will be here soon, something you'll especially appreciate after Michigan Winter.

Almost everything is going up in reps or weight each session. We switched from barbell curls to alternating sitting dumbbell curls and lightened up the standing press a lot to do more reps, and so I don't dread them, especially the tight shoulders afterwards.(no massages! ) Both changes lessen back strain.

Now I'm off to a vegan pot luck, a rarity here.

I bet you do well.

Your doing great! Keep up the good work.

I heard coconut water is the best natural source of electrolytes.

Still on our planet?

Still limping.

Did you replace the electrolytes?

Some Pedialyte would be very helpful. (and maybe ginger ale)

Oct 11 is on my icalender. Let's see if we can get zinzen to plan on going with me.

Here's some healing mojo for your arm and shoulder.

Now, if you could fix my knee real quick please...

The other vegans in Cleveland may have been eaten at a local soup kitchen.

Wave when you fly over!

Don't underestimate the effect of the analgesics in fostering depression. Depression is as real as a heart attack, and needs to be respected for what it is. Positive vibes to you!

Several days ago, when I squatted low down to pick up a plate off the floor, my right knee was injured.

I put off running until today. I slowly ran a hundred yards, before having to stop, limping home heavily.

I got into lifting so as not to be sidelined entirely from my various running injuries, and it even became a competing habit, lifting rather then running. Now it seems I have no choice, as I guess this right knee is going to take a little while to heal.

While I am glad for the changes to my chest, arms, back and shoulders, I can't get used to the relatively spindly legs that replaced my fat thighs and calves since starting to run in Spring.

Today is a much needed rest day, though I haven't run in a week or lifted in 5 days. Work (lots of lifting) and my cold really wore me down. My cold is still here, and my shoulders are sore.

Glad your here, old timer.

A vegan family seems like a huge blessing.
