Charles came down from Va. with a fist full of NY strips and his fork! His sheaf fork ;-) We had a few hours of practice. Did some LWD, some LH, and of course sheaf. Can't say I felt like a million bucks, but I did feel good. Light weight was in the low 40's, light hammer 79ish, sheaf was feeling spot on. Didn't have any trouble clearing a branch that I spent most of last season bouncing the bag off of. Can't wait for game time this year.
Then we knocked back a few redbulls and chowed down on some steak!

Mon - Doctors
Had a doctor appointment after work today. I have something going on with my lower right ribs. It doesn't effect my lifting or throwing, it just kinda hurts all of the time. It has gotten progressively worse over the last year. The doctor says she thinks it is in the muscle that goes between the ribs. Forgot what it was called, some big word I couldn't spell anyway.
Anyway, I'm on Naproxen and Flexeril. She wants to see if that helps first, then it's ultrasound time. I was just happy to hear it wasn't my Liver, gall bladder, or the C word ;-)
Everyone remembers my blood issues last year. They mentioned that my liver may be to blame, but then all of the test came back negative. Then I start having pain in that general area, you can imagine I was a little spooked.
The doc always gives me the "You're not a kid anymore" speech. I think that's bunk. I just read that Jack LaLanne(sp?), you know the juicer guy, is 90+ years old and still works out 2 hours a day. So don't give me that your not a kid crap.

Sun - 1st Training day!
Ok, not great numbers but not bad for my first really training since last year ;-)
I felt pretty good and although my technique has gone to hell, I still managed to toss out some good throws. I was not upset with them at all.
Stone - 31'6"
HWD (42#) - 32'6"
LWD (28#) - 43' (I was really happy with the weights. I stayed in the box but was all off time. I still managed to get them out there off of dumb strength, which means they can only get better!)
HH - 66'8" (Not too shabby, but man was the wind up ugly.
LH - 84'5"
Caber - 18' 110# straight piece of framing timber. Man, it was brutal. Thanks Malcolm. Balance point is about dead center, not good for a caber. You guys at Southern Md. will see. I got a good 50 degrees on it. That was luck. I would be impressed if anyone turns it.
Sheaf - Wow, get outa town! I'm up to about 24' with a 20lb bag, easy! I think 28' with a 16# will fall easy this year :-)
