Notes - Getting around to writing this Friday evening.  Did this on Thanksgiving Day on a gloriously cold morning in Seattle, just above freezing temperatures and I am outside swinging and snatching kettlebells.  There is nothing like it, I am sorry, it makes you feel like a bad motherfucker.  I love this shit I am not even going to lie.  You have to appreciate those times when your body feels great and you feel like you could go through a brick wall, and this was one of those days for me.  On Thanksgiving Day, I was grateful for many things in my life and certainly having my health and a strong body that helps me get through the ups and downs that get thrown my way is very, very high up on that list.  Great stuff and I am so pleased that I seem to be responding from the tweak at the base on my R lower neck from pull-ups last weekend.  I think I had some good responses to that in terms of the soft tissue work, adjusting the training schedule, not increasing load or volume this week, all good advice from Kevin.  There's a hell of a lot to be said about not doing dumb things and making something that could be minor turn into something that could be major.
