It was rather distracting at times. And finally, the owner, a guy about my height but much wider and bigger, was working out with another rather strong guy and they were tossing around some heavy weights. Inspiration certainly filled the air.

I'm trying to stay focused in the workouts. I tend to
towards the latter part of the workout when more people come into the gym. It's really empty (only 1 or 2 other people) for the first half-hour, but then it starts getting more crowded.

My first pro game was when my father took me to see the Yankees kick some Red Sox ass, so things haven't changed much in 40+ years.

Take care of the back and enjoy the summer activites with the kids.

The back is getting better and I finally got around to DLing today, first time in about a month. I should start posting workouts again if you promise not to laugh at some of the weights.

Reading his journal made me wish I was still doing Westside. So I said to myself, "Self, stop wishing and start doing". So I did and I am.
