Well, I definitely feel better. On Friday night, I found out that my “lab” COVID test (that I took on Thursday morning) was negative. So..whatever mystery illness I had, it wasn’t COVID.
Yesterday: watched some football on TV; grim news for me:
Virginia 42 Illinois 14
Air Force 23 Navy 3 (proved to be the most competitive game I watched)
Arkansas 40 Texas 21 (garbage time TD made it look closer)
At least Texas might have some wins on the horizon; Illinois is favored in one more game this season and even that is iffy. Now they are iffy underdogs to Northwestern…and it looks very grim for Navy.
Will I go to games?
The spread looks bad, but outdoors, with mask (yes, I am masking up) looks ok..especially for Illinois games. I haven’t seen any spikes around games as yet.
Why a mask? Droplet spread; aerosols won’t build up so the risk is mostly from droplets from nearby people, and masks do a great job filtering those.
Workout notes: yesterday: somewhat disappointing 1 mile walk; included a 2 mile before and 10 mile after bike; at least with the bike I did 5 harder miles (resistance up); lots of rehab.
Today: deadlifts and 2 mile walk (stretch at 1 mile and 1.6 miles); got to tingles; NOT to pain.
Deadlifts: were a bit disappointing; I knew I was weak on Wednesday.
10 x 134, 10 x 184 (ok)
10 x 224: a bit more work than I had hoped (shown)
5 sets of 3 x 251 (seemed I had no leg drive at all; sets 1 and 3 are shown)
high handle (skipped 4 inch handles; went to 8)
1 x 300 (bailed on rep 2; did not like how it felt)
3 x 300 (form was pretty bad)
But my legs got a workout and that is the point.
