    Well, gam3rguy, your absence will be noticed! torn bicep sounds very painful. Ouch!

    Keeping a good thought for your son, @sdereski. Best wishes for his recovery.

    Trying to pull myself out of a funk brought on by not being able to resume cycling or running after 4 months of rehab. A masters swim class on Monday nights is helping. The coach really pushed us tonight and I think that may be just what I needed. She pushed us through roughly 3K in lap work, with the last set being 12x25yds racing your lane mate, with 30 second recovery between each sprint. Thought I was going to die after the 8th one, but somehow hung on.

    I was absolutely gassed at the end, but haven't felt this good about a workout in a long time. :)

    Have been keeping very busy, trying to stay on top of all my house chores (inside and out), work stuff, race planning and family reunion planning. All happening this month. In there, we are going to be away for a week, while my son has surgery. If you are the praying type, I ask that you keep my son in your prayers. He was diagnosed with a brain tumor a week and a half ago. :cry:

    Prayers for your son, I hope his surgery goes well, they get it all, and it's benign. Good luck with the crazy month!

    @sdereski. Sorry to hear about your son. Good luck to the both of you.

    Doc says I can do cardio and lifting, but no pulls. Gotta get mri...then we discuss surgery.

    Really knocked it out of the park the other day at the gym lifting. After taking a year off from lifting to pay for my son's and daughter's braces, I rejoined the gym back in January. Discovered at the time I had lost about half my strength (aka could only lift half the weight as before the break).

    Been making steady progress, and the other day I hit a quad-milestone on my road back: 1 large (45#) plate per side on my overhead press, 2 plates on my bench, and 3 plates on both squat and deadlift. Still have a ways to go to reach prior levels (regained about half of what I lost), but the psychological impact of reaching those big-plate milestones, especially all in the same workout, really psyched me up.

    No weights last night (sad Tiffy) because rehearsal ran late and I didn't get home until 10:30pm...however, I did get some extra walking in 13.5K steps is good.
