I started out doing 10/10 side step-ups for the first two rounds, but I have a really good bruise near my right knee which was not feeling good, so for the last two rounds I did normal step-ups. My back and left hip have been an issue, so I subbed in the good mornings today. My rounds were done at 3:33, 8:00, 12:13, and 16:22.

I wasn’t feeling the greatest through the workout and afterwards. Hope I’m not coming down with something.

Rainouts

Our legs were really feeling it from the Thursday to Saturday workouts, so on Sunday we played some pickleball, which got rained out and later walked three holes of golf before another storm rolled in. Then yesterday I walked 18.

After last weeks attempt I was not doing the handstand push-ups again, so picked a challenging weight for the dumbbells and sat on the bench to do them. When we were warming up I went to do a twisting jump from the side with my troubling hip and it was horrible pain, so step-ups for me. I finished the rounds at 3:30, 7:55, 12:11, 16:25.
