I woke up very excited this morning and headed to the gym.  God, it felt so good!  Several people asked where I'd been and I had to stop and explain about my illness.  They wished me well as I headed back to the squat rack and completed my workout.

The rest of the day was a blur.  I'm dealing with some personnel issues and that is always draining.  These particular issues also involve attorneys.  It is an odd position to be in, but necessary.

I learned today that I really do love the iron.  I can't imagine ever giving it up entirely.  I am planning to hit an amateur body building show in 2 weeks and Jay Cutler will be guest posing.  I plan to show him what its all about

Squat goal for this Mission has been accomplished!  I had aimed for 350 x 1 and I got it.  Damn that felt good.  The DOMs is already setting in and I know I'm going to be fried just like my first wave loading workout, but I'm so happy with my workout.  I came back after my layoff stronger than I left. 

Thought for the Day:

Overcome the mental and the physical will follow.

Until tomorrow...GET BACK TO LIFTING!
