9:50am - Complete
7:30pm - 8:30pm - brisk walk around Greenlake (3 1/2 miles)
Notes - Another day in the books, just a tad better than the one before. Felt fatigue in the arms in the morning, that was interesting, a different feeling than before, particularly in the R tricep. This is the result of everything moving around I am sure. There have been some body compensations going on for a long time and I think this is going to be the painful process of working it out of my system. It could take some time. With that said I felt pretty good by the end of the KB warm up and did 3 singles each side to the knee with TGUs, using a 16kg bell. I am noticing that my arm bars are the best they have ever been - by far. Overhead position is the most open it has been in possibly well, ever. So small details that are positive - that's a good thing.
I ended the day with an acupuncture visit with Dave Engstrom in the afternoon, a little work, and then a brisk walk around Greenlake. I was definitely feeling it in the shoulder, elbow and forearm during the walk. This has been happening with the upright posture - that is when it is hardest, sitting down or sitting up / standing. With that said I know moving and getting the blood flowing is a good thing and I will not deprive my body of that movement. I took an Epson salt bath when I got home with dinner, and that felt great. Tomorrow is another day to see how this is going.
