woke up this morning feeling pretty much like my old self. yippee!! i get myself to the gym and even my coach can see the difference in my demeanor. so we were both pretty much expecting today to be some kind of wonderful. well i guess sh*t like that only happens in fairy tales and this is real life.
its my second exercise into our workout. after doing my first set of hack squats i went to stretch my quad. there was some sort of dull achy pain around the top of my knee. it didn't matter the range of motion of the stretch as soon as i started to stretch the quad it came back. well we had no recourse but to abbreviate the workout. there is no point pushing further and risking more permanent injury. bah! and feh! so ive spend most of the day walking gingerly on it as it continues to be dull and achy.
i called my travelling parents, currently in georgia, and found out that they will be back home by april 17th. guess who will be spending the entire long weekend trying to ensure the family homestead is clean enough to pass inspection. yippee!
also spoke with one of my friends from the sc forum. we are both brand nubians doing shows this summer and we support each other through our preps. she's really cool, works really hard, is very determined and still manages to balance her life as much as humanly possible. in many ways i think she is handling her prep better than i. you can't help but admire a strong chick who's got it all together. go tg!!! kick azz!!
my coach/trainer called me today as well. seems he has another client and so now it is necessary for us to train every weekday at 5:30 am which means im getting up regularily at 4:00 am. yikes!! yet another reason for me to get my schedule ironed out so that i can get my sleep.
right now i have to get to the gym, i've got a client to train. i'm going to ask him if he wouldn't mind changing his training schedule. i'd like to see if i can get him on a thursday, fri and sunday rotation. of course friday, saturday, sunday would be better for me, but that would be horrifically tough on him and i could never suggest it. he is pretty understanding so i expect he will be okay with it.
time to jump into rush hour traffic!

Hope the wonky knee falls in line! Thanks for the surprise call this eve, was good to hear from CAN! Nice surprise & good to hear you in good spirits! Also hope the bike search works out for you! I know you'll keep me posted!
side note: yes I did my LE workout tonight! I'm 2 for 2 & plan to be 3 for 3 tomorrow!
hey jersey! i hope this doesn't come out wrong but i really enjoy your training reports. talking to you yesterday was a blast! nice to one who would pass the ink blot LOL.
I'm not sure if I would pass the traditional ink blot, I would probably make my own observation...which would then lead "them" to rethinking things! Funny but you know it's true!
def'ly good to chat w/ you via that other pc of technology yesterday! put me in a better mood!
side note: i will be in the sr gym for the up'r body mini-workout tonight. i got in last night's mini LE during commercials during 24... not how I wanted it to go down (ie meant to be done before 9pm but didn't get started til 9pm due to HCCC projects) but it got done & i did extra sets to make up for the interruptions.
