I'm going to stop the blow-by-blow recap of my training sessions, and stick with the highlights here and there. Today I woke up with knee pain when I squatted bodyweight, but I decided to go anyway. Once I got there and squatted with a little weight on me, the knee felt perfect. Just needed a warmup.

Happy birthday to my sister, Courtney, who is currently in Yosemite, where the cell phone reception is surprisingly good.

In case I forgot to mention it before, Courtney made her first major sale, adding to her bank account, and relieving her of the need to find storage for her beautiful, and mind-boggling difficult to craft, canopy bed.
