2 mile hike at the Gorge trail today. Only took 2 dogs with me puppy and blind dog don't do so well on the rough terrain. Sweating my butt off today.
My back feels much better so started the new week out well with 45 minute cardio on the eliptical last night. Today met a good friend for 1.5 hours of climbing at the rock climbing gym.
Congrats on the house Bob.

Thanks Kathy!
I've been hobbled the past two days. Been doing my barbell and kettlebell lifting barefoot and I think the new stress has gotten to my left foot. Very strained and the throbbing has woken me up in the middle of the night the past two. Last night was rough.... not so bad when I'm sitting upright or wearing shoes, but that's not conducive for sleeping. I guess a classic case of overdoing it and stressing my high arches.

I've been trying to "prep" my feet to get ready to use them. Penny said she owes me a pair for my birthday. One guy at the gym was even doing Olympic weightlifting in them. I'd like to try them for hikes on wooded (non-paved) trails.

My sprained foot was still bothering me, but at least I was able to soundly sleep last night for the first time in three nights.
I wanted to work with my shoulders, so I decided on doing 1/2 turkish getups I'd seen on the Pavel DVD. This way I wouldn't have to stand up like the full TGU.
1/2 Turkish Getup
15# x 3/side
25# x 3/side
35# x 3/side
I had a nice shoulder burn going and could definitely feel it in my core. I didn't dare try that with the 50# Kettlebell though. Need to do the lower weights more first.

I have seen a lot of people using them around the SF area - but they scare me a bit, as does barefoot running. That doesn't mean I still don't find it intriguing.

The first time I saw them a young guy just finished a 5K (on warming pavement!). Been hearing some buzz and am thinking that they would be great for running and kayaking. IRS check is burning a hole in my pocket.....
