Its official: there is nothing like walking lunges to cause major DOMS. Yikes!
Some bad news: my 17 year old kitty got a lymphoma diagnosis yesterday. He is home and getting extra hugs and treats until he tells us its time to go. 
My favorite picture of him.
awww, sorry bout your kitty 17 is a nice long kitty life, though.
I’m very sorry about your little buddy, my little buddy Fenris died this Feb. after fifteen years and I’m not ashamed to say I did not take it well. I also have a gray cat that looks a great deal like yours. Hopefully you’ll get as much time as possible.
I’m so sorry about your kitty’s diagnosis, Kimba. I hope you get lots of quality time with him before he goes.
so sorry to hear about your baby. 17 years is a testament to the great life you provided him. I hope he stays around for as long as he can. Hugs ms kimba!! I’m such an animal lover I know how hard that is.
So sorry to hear about your cat. I’m a real cat person (but can’t have one as my place is too small) so I know this hurts. He looks adorable too. Give him a hug from me.
Thanks all. Kitty is getting lots of extra snuggle time.
Training yesterday was a two hour bicycle ride in the sun. Finally sun! Time to calculate my 5/3/1 Wave 9 numbers. I plan on adding 2.5 lbs. to my upper body maxes and 5 lbs. to my lower body maxes. Clearly I am shooting for slow, incremental progress here.
love his green eyes 
x-tra hugs from all of us. I know I’ll have to go through something similar one day…

Jeez…your cat and PMPM’s cat.
Here is my gray monster in sympathy.
my kitty, a few months after i got her.
she still had front claws, and she could do pullups!
(the mess is in my old apt. my new one isnt nearly this bad.)
grey kittehs ftw!
and 17 is like 1000 in human years. your kitteh probably knows the answers to everything.
^lol! So cute!
Sorry to hear about the kitty Kimba, I have 2 kitties myself, so I sympathize. Like everyone said, 17 is a wonderfully long life and I’m sure she was the happiest creature ever. E-hugs for you and kitty.
Good for you for getting out and taking a ride - soak up the sun woman! Seasons are a changing!
I am sorry to hear about your kitty. In am a pet person, so I understand.
My grandmother’s cat lived to be 24, and it was a hideous sight to see. It could have starred in a Stephen King flick it was so old, matted, and defeated. Just before my grandfather passed from cancer, on his death bed, he gave my uncle instructions on the last load of concrete he had coming, and then he pulled out $20 and told my uncle to make sure he “took care of that damn cat” so my grandmother would not have to deal with it. Those were is last words and final instructions.
Grey kittehs FTW! Thanks for the cat pix, Greeney and CBear and all for the good wishes. We are now running a hospital for kittehs here, complete with iv fluids. Kitteh does not like, and needles make the humans queasy. Ah well.
Friday nite’s training was sumo deadlift nite. Yay for deadlifts!
5/3/1 - Wave 9, Week 1 - Sumo Deadlift Day
Sumo Deadlift
from risers:
85# 1 x 5 <–warmup
105# 1 x 5 <–warmup
120# 1 x 5 <–working
from floor:
138.5# 1 x 5 <–working
belt on:
157# 1 x 5 <–money set
no belt:
135# 3 x 5
The last two reps were rounder on the back then I would like, but the last few times I tried this weight, I got an ugly 3 reps, then the next time I utterly failed on 4. So this is some improvement.
DB Snatch
22.5# 1 x 5 each side
25# 2 x 5 each side <-PR +2.5 lbs.
I’m getting better at these.
Rehab front squats with offset feet
25# DB 4 x 10
Rehab abductor work on stability ball
Russian situps
5# DB 1 x 20 <–switching hands after 10 reps)
Saturday’s training was a 3 hour round trip ride to the beach. Complete with hot dog, fish sandwich and soft serve (twist flavor is the ONLY WAY).
you made the reps and improved the form - sound like a win to me!
That sounds like a great ride, I’m jealous …
There may be better bands to listen to than AC/DC when deadlifting, but I am not sure who they would be. Nice work in here.
