1st Day of Freedom

Last day of work as an in house counsel was yesterday. I am now, at least for the forseeable future, away from the office. It feels damn good.

With the restart, I will add some things besides just workouts. First, some recent PR's.

Fran, subbed 2 x 1 pood kettlebells: 4:43. This is a 4:17 improvement off of my last Rx attempt.

Deadlift 315, up from 305 and I was so very close to 325.

Helen 9:27 as RX. This is about 90 seconds faster than the last PR.

Today was:
5x1 press
5x3 push press
5x5 push jerk

115, 135, 140F, 135, 135
115, 125, 135, 140, 145
115, 115, 135, 135, 125


Reading:

Just finished "G-Man" which is the story of Assistant Director of the FBI Mark Felt, more commonly known as Deep Throat. Depressing story of a virtuous man who spent almost his whole life serving his country only to be attacked, sued and have his family break apart.

Just picked up from the library "All the Shah's Men" the story of the CIA sponsored coup in Iran.

Will be cooking thanksgiving dinner this week for the family. Should be fun and a good time to see everybody. Melissa, of course, will spend turkey day by herself watching awful TV and eating high end mac and cheese. Should be great.
