Today was another morning of waking up and not feeling it, tho today’s was slightly different. I woke up early and got into a groove programming an update to kwikkEmail, lost track of time, and thought about skipping the workout because I was on such a roll. But no, that’s not the way to proceed in life. Headed to the gym, but also wasn’t totally feeling it because I know my right knee and some other parts of my lower body (ankle, etc.) weren’t too happy in prior days. I had no idea how it would affect me. But I did my best to put it out of my head and forge ahead. If I can’t squat, I can’t squat… I want to not squat because I truly can’t, not because I erected some mental barrier.

And gee… 245 for a triple felt fine. I think my new found eye positioning is helping. And again, I recalled how I struggled so long at 230 and now 245 for a triple didn’t phase me much. Progress!

Felt good by the end of the workout.

Looking forward to the workouts ahead now… 5/3/1 week. PR time. Woot!
