So school was fun, well at least interesting. I decided to go do my walking at a local park today. It was a good idea, but not a fantastic execution. I’d read the information about where it was and such, however, it didn’t mention that the washrooms were LOCKED! I suspect it’s something that happens after labour day weekend, but it was really annoying. So I changed tops and shoes in the car, and just went that way. It did stop me from doing any jogging though because I didn’t want to spend my last class in sweaty pants. I’ll probably just go to the fitness center next week.

Still struggling a lot with the single-leg romanian deadlift. I feel very off-balance when doing it, so I’m still not raising the weight. Oh, and that 5-3/4 on the last shoulder press means that I got the bar over my head, but felt the form was completely shot on that very last lift. As much as I’m not enjoying the Tuesday afternoon lifting, I really hate this early morning stuff. I know, not early for some, but it is for me. I was aiming for 7:15, but was a little after 7:20 to start. Although it’s nice because I’ve had a shower, breakfast, made my lunch and still have 40 mins to get dressed and out the door.
