up at 4:50am, hit the gym at 5:30am. lower back is still feeling a little stiff, so i eased up on the weight for the strict press. i know i compensate for my lack of shoulder/upper body flexibility by arching my lower back during this lift. I did some extra stretching, then reduced my presses (5# lower than last week). i did pushup instead of bench presses. I did ab mat situps and abmat back ext instead of GHD today. I also did a lot of extra stretching on the mats before and after. i think being careful was smart. I am definitely no worse, and I am feeling a little looser now.
its Monday, which means 3 miles in the mask. this is the last week with a monday run, and the weather was nice, so I went out determined to have a good mask run. went fine. difficult as always, but i didn't want to puke and i recovered fairly quickly. Alex rode his mountain bike along with me, so it was a really nice run. He seemed excited about it, which was cool.
