Just a brief how-do-ya-do.

The pain in my shin has subsided somewhat. It has moved a little further down and a little deeper. It feels closer to my ankle. But it is not significant, and is fading slowly each day. Another week off and I should be OK.

I have been using the Death Machine, and added the leg press to my workout for the first time. This was done as a final exercise, so I didn't push for a heavy load but could comfortable do 2x10 reps of 200#. I've done my third round of 3x10 squats at 140#, so tomorrow I'll try 145#. The squat weight hasn't become impossible yet: each 5# addition is noticeable however, but by the third round I'm usually able to finish without having an aneurysm.

Again, nothing super to report, as I'm waiting for this leg thing to go away so I can resume playing basketball. I'll probably give it a shot this coming Friday and hopefully not re-injure anything. I'll also try and get another body analysis done. I've been eating less-than-ideal recently, mostly out of laziness/time constraints, so I'll be interested to see how that interacts with the workouts I've been doing since the last analysis.

In other news, the Hawks continue to frustrate with their glaringly inept leadership, there are 6 weeks of school left, and baseball opens today. So now I can watch 4 uninterrupted hours of fat guys hanging out on a lawn, getting paid more than the GDP of South America. Neat.

This is an athlete. If it approaches you, do not smell like a cheeseburger.
