Must be nice. Gyms have reopened here, but I’m not taking chances until about October. About 50% empty parking lot at my regular gym.

Hit the gym early morning before it was open to the general membership. Didn’t want no witnesses to my less than triumphant return. Took it easy, did some basics:
Bench - bar w/u -135 x 12 x 3
Bent row - same as bench
clean to press -115 x 8 x 3
overhead tri ext - 45,55,65 x 10
hammer curls - 25,30,30 x 10
pullups- 10 x 2
Didn’t feel bad, no straining, just getting the rhythm back, saying hello to the iron.

Early as in 1 am Eastern time?
Round 2am and I’m in CST
Did about a 1 a mile run around and then a nice lazy 500m swim. Fixed some broke boards on our fence the front gate. Pressure treated wood is hard to find around here right now. The rains came so took the wife to the supermarket to do some restocking. Loaded up on Dill pickles, sour cream, Jewish Rye, Blue Cheese, sliced roast beef, and Root Beer. All which you can’t find in the Philippines and I do love. Had me an epic Dagwood style sandwich for an afternoon snack. Oh Yeah, Almost forgot. Happy Birthday Arnold!

As I’ve said, I sure missed your unique style of storytelling.

That was it. No competitions this year but had to throw me some discus.Tight, just did a few power positions.Felt great to throw something again. There’s some “virtual meets” being held on-line. Not sure how that works. And I’m in a different age category this year, 65-69, so just maybe.

Early morning swim, still dark out, 1000m. The current was going a little stronger because of the rains. Wife wants her bathroom “re-done” so took her down and let her pick out new toilet, sink, etc. Removed everything from the bathroom and started stripping the ceiling. Has that “popcorn” crap on it so stood on a ladder for a few hours wetting and scraping. Incentive to get it done. I’m sharing my bathroom with her til it’s done.

You mean -your bathroom is her bathroom until you’ve finished re-doing hers? LOL.

Woke up in the middle of the night and did some messengering (?) with the family back in the PI. They’re back under lock down because of an uptick in the virus. One person per family has a pass to go to the markets. We left 300kg of rice stockpiled and there’s plenty of fruit and chicken’s for the family. Decided I’d run me a mile to clear the head. Not sure how far I ran but ended up running 45 minutes. Got home, did a full round of kata and felt lots better. Wife cooked my favorite western omelet, covered it in my sister-in-laws salsa, lots of bacon, toast, coffee. " Wife’s sleeping, just poured about 3 fingers of Jameson’s, lit a Romeo Y Julieta 1875, watching the original “The thing from Another Planet” on TV. Church tomorrow with the family and lunch at big brothers. Things ain’t too bad.

I love Jameson and a good cigar. I just smoked a good Arturo Fuente the the other night.
