Today I went to the gym at 10 and was happy to see that there was just about nobody there. I lifted like there was no tomorrow, which there might not be if a giant comet collides with the earth. I started off with pull-ups and dips (3 sets of 10 each, 15 dips the last time). Then did calf raises (90 lbs), squats (bar), shoulders (10 lbs), curls (60 lb bar), leg press (180 lbs, 3 x sets of 20), Rows (65 lbs), bench press (bar, 1 set of 70 reps in 90 sec). Followed by 20 minutes of light cycling.
Overall this feels like a ride down a sweet road of mental recovery, not having to constantly think about running and racing.
The preseason XC meeting was today, in some ways i'm disappointed with certain runners not being there. But on the other hand, I'm very pleased with all the runners that did manage to make it to the meeting.
Ian put another flower on my bike, I need to get him back, maybe a venus fly trap?

oh, this reminds me, we were promised pictures of the partially successsful Operation Tree Squirrel that were never delivered...
also who is this "B Adamick" who sent some lecture about summer training to the track list?
The pictures...I still have them... they're on my facebook. And B. Adamick is Brian Adamick, the vaults coach. Thats that.
