Happiness is a totally empty gym. Because Thanksgiving. But I betcha tomorrow morning, it’ll be packed as everyone pretends to work off their turkey bloat. 😉

Pretty solid day, with quality work done. That weird back pain I felt earlier this week is still around but almost gone. I figured to take today as it came — if there was pain, stop; else continue on because I reckon increasing blood flow to the area would be helpful. Things felt great.

I did not do any Farmer’s Walks today tho, but only because I had to get home to get the turkey on the smoker. 🙂 But when it comes to Farmer’s, I’m thinking about backing off a bit. That is, putting 25’s on the girders becomes heavy day and empty girders is light day. From there, work to increase — walking faster, longer distance (e.g. instead of 1 40 yard trip, make it 40 down, turn, then 40 back), more trips overall, etc.. I may have been too aggressive in how I started.

Anyways, good day.

Looking forward to the carb bloat from today. 😉

And yes, I’m thankful for my good health, the ability to afford a gym, to have a good gym, to be able to eat well, etc.. I know I’m blessed and fortunate.
