Been out and about for the first half of summer, then sick for the second half. After spending 18 of 33 days out of Atlanta, I returned and immediately fell ill for several days. The recovery lasted another full week, and returning to the gym proved another challenge as it'd been weeks since I had worked out. It took another ten days or so to return to form!
But I'm finally back up to speed - the leg press is up to 300#, squat 190#, box steps with 60#, leg extension at 110#... So I'm still making progress in terms of muscle growth. I've also started running longer distances, ~5 miles at 8:30/mile. I end my runs in a park right by my place and squat-jump up retaining walls and posts. I last jumped onto a 35-inch post (they're large blocks, not fence-type posts) and had a lady (sadly, in her mid-40's, not the demographic I was looking for) tell me that was an impressive jump. Thanks, I guess!
The quest continues. I can take a running jump and get my fingertips about an inch below the rim - another foot higher and I'll be there!
