Yesterday SW: 32 kg x 1-hand swing x 5's on the 1:20 for 32 sets. Avg: 118 Max: 133 Today, CT angiogram (CT scan with contrast) early AM. Walked there and back, but felt pretty crappy for the next few hours, gradually feeling better as the day went on. I'd say it was an adverse, but not allergic, reaction to the contrast material. When I've had contrast MRI's, I've had no reaction at all. Walk a second time. Do some floor stretching later in the afternoon. -S-

Today is Sunday - ran this morning Friday, day off from running, walked, stretched Saturday, yesterday, ran, taught Today: Run early AM long break SQ: 75 kg x 5, 5 77.5 x 5 NB: Trying for maximum depth, playing with cues, felt it a little on inside of right knee on the way up on the last two reps, felt like I lost my tightness. Maybe 4 x 4 or 3 reps x 5 sets next time ... Nothing terrible with the knee, just was putting the load in the wrong place. BP: middle fingers on rings from sloth/habit - had been meaning to try index fingers again. This lift feels strong. 60 kg x 5 62.5 x 5 65 x 5
