New pain…
Well, I made it to the park this morning after some quick errands and proceeded to stretch and warmup. Jogged to the field area to do some sprint training. As I exploded on my first step… new pain. Upper quad no likey. It’s not a tear, but some sort of pull or strain. Sometimes it will heal fast, sometimes slow. Doesn’t happen often because I’m a warmup fanatic, but it has reared it’s ugly head today. To add insult to injury, while my brain was recognizing the problem after the first step, the other quad decided to join his friend. I stretched and tried to shake it loose, but it is here for a while. So, I hobbled the quarter mile back to the truck and called it a day. Fixed a meal and sat down to enjoy. Got up and owww! This is going to add a degree of difficulty to my date this evening. She’s a workout freak too, so she’ll understand, but I am hardly able to walk without looking like I just left a prison shower room. It’s a good thing that the Lambada is the forbidden dance, otherwise I might be in big trouble on my date. The most fabulous part is that we have had some rain in the last two weeks, so my lawn has decided to grow again. I’m about to go mow it now. Now I wish I hadn’t talked myself out of the lawn tractor because pushing a mower around burns a few more calories,and 2k in savings is better than a pretty green John Deere, but maybe just barely.
Oh, the good news is that last night I measured BF. Went down ever so slightly, but down again to 6.98 from 7.14. Still don’t have the abs visibility I want, so it’s onward I go. The good news is that there isn’t anyplace left for the fat to come off, so it should be coming (at least the majority) from the abdominal region.
