Hip joint seems "ok" today, did pull the crap out of a thigh muscle, didn't wake up with any surprises, so I'm taking it as a win.

wife OK too?

Glad you seem to be OK.

Unfortunately, you don't go this long without springing some leaks, and then one day the dam bursts....






Quick lunch workout at the work gym: Deadlifts, a few LW squats and some core.

Thanks. Now if people in vans would just stop trying to swat me off the planet... sheesh. This makes twice, both times vans.

By my estimation we need stricter van control in this country. Common-sense van control.

Thanks, it would seem so, but whereas I seem to have taken the impact through my braking leg, she took it in her middle back. So it's a bit "TBT". Pretty stiff. Her previously-injured knee is also flared up now. But big picture, lucky lucky LUCKY and we know it. The physics unleashed on that stretch of road at that moment were phenomenal, and for all involved to essentially walk away, give or take, is amazing. So we'll take it.

Unbelievable how fast it happens when someone just comes into your lane at highway speeds. I did the only thing I could do, which was scrub velocity and hold my line. I'd like to say my life flashed in front of my eyes but hell NO, I was still focused on driving. Proud of that. Nice to be able to remember this one in that sense. So, there's the crazy oncoming headlights gyrating ahead as the first warning; foot moves towards the brake, oooohhhhh fuuuuuuccckkk is the soundtrack, a moment of comprehension that yes, this is about to happen and that's just the way it is, and then the Big Red Van of Doom arrives sideways in your lane, and it's time to crumple metal, shatter glass, and roll the dice. Yeehaw!

Back and bi day

Gym has one of these and it gets used less than the stepper. Which has been broke again for a couple months.

One needs to learn how to run it or be prepared to fall off. It will test you. 30minutes and the watch HR monitor was left gasping trying to keep up. Went to a place I haven't been to in a loooong time. It made me say "no mas, lets walk for a while." 198. Shoot for that one Smoke.

Added in some weights. Tomorrow is a day off....

For your viewing pleasure. The air beetch.....
