    Cardio: 25 min walk

    Strength: none- rest shoulder

    Assesment: Ham and potato soup, did a little meal prep. Shoulder improving every day.
    How's the shoulder?

    Shoulder is feeling much better, I am going to be extra cautious and take this week off too to give it plenty of time to recover before adding in very light weight work to see how it handles it the following week (assuming it is still in good shape at that point). Thanks!

    Where was the hike?

    I live in Bay Area in CA, so there's a few good places nearby. Yesterday, I went to Santa Teresa County Park. Next week, I think we're headed to Big Basin for the waterfalls. :)
