Living in a dumpster fire

I’ve really become divorced from the news. I need to do better. I still do not know who I will vote for in a couple of days.

The “dumpster fire” is a reference to my personal life and I’ll leave it at that. Nothing is life-threatening

Workout notes:
pull ups: 6-6-6-6-8-6-5-5-5 which included some chin up style and some scapular plus regular
bench press: 10 x 134, 5 x 160, 5 x 160, 5 x 160
high incline: 10 x 94, 10 x 105, 5 x 110

Doesn’t seem like much, does it? And I had a 2 mile walk.

That was then, this is now

I walked my 5 mile course later in the day (due to B’s eye appointment) and was about 1:09 for 5 miles; I had accidentally stopped my watch at 4.8 (the crossing) and it was 1:06:xx there. I was 33:xx at the lower part turn around at 55:27 at the park exit. Weather was perfect.

Pace: 13:48 average. That is good compared to recent months, and I have to forget that my 50 mile pace was faster than that..22 years ago.

Time takes its toll. And I have a small left glute pain (noticed yesterday afternoon) and very “heavy”, tight calves. I think that it is the push off motion.

We have elections coming up and, frankly, I’ve given it little thought. I probably should since I will almost certainly vote for the D in the fall. So, this primary is probably more important but I have a tough time making myself care. I’ll do some research this weekend and try to figure it out.
