Random Thoughts VII 'Merica (RTTVII)

[Colorado]

Current temp is mid-60's and bright, sunny skies. Looking forward to a nice bike ride home.

On Tuesday, a cold front moved in during the day. It was mid-40's, cloudy and 30mph winds. I was riding through an intersection and the wind blew the visor of my cap down into my eyes. I was pretty much blind, holding on for dear life, hoping nobody would run me over.

Today better be nice and peaceful.

CG may not be pregnant, but it's fairly apparent now that Button is.

Button? Is that a cat?

Yeah - she's the little gal that has been hanging around, sleeping in the catmansion that PapaLew built for Elvis.

Belly fully distended now, teats starting to pop. I'm guessing a week or so before the population expansion. PapaLew & I are in talks now about how to handle it.

Her snap she sent tells a different story.

Amirite, WDSM?!

The ultrasound pics that the doc gave us doesn't lie

I'm catching your inner sloth, boxster and strunk. Supposed to go running after work but I really want to nap instead.

You can do a quick one. I've made three classes this week. I am skipping lower body day though. My knee still hurts.

It's a cute little baby bump. But if she stops running already, it might get out of control.

Anyone ever tried Farmer Carries as an alternative to dead lifts? Been doing some reading on them and they sound much more effective.

Aren't elevators weird? Like, every time you get in one, you more or less take the chance of dying an awful death.

The elevator inspectors in Minneapolis let you get by with nothing so you are pretty safe here. It doesn't matter if it is a safety issue or not, they let absolutely nothing slide and often require things that aren't even in the code.

I VERY offended by this post!!!!!! Why are they called "farmer carries"? Are there engineer carries, lawyer carries, dentist carries?

Am I doing the offended thing right? I'm new at this and don't get many chances to find a reason to be offended so I gotta be when I can. ; )

Our high school pushes deads and cleans a lot. Many of my kids teammates seem to be have knee and shin problems.

Yeah, but they're very expensive and are just you walking around in a suite and with a briefcase

Competition with PapaLew? We just got home from ambulatory...he's farting up a storm.

I ruined some young woman's marathon in October. As I tried to say something encouraging, something less encouraging came out without sound, and it was foul.
I took it as a good motivation to speed up.

is that basically walking lunges with weights? lady doing workout class at work last spring had us do those. Definitely felt it, that was for sure.

The Google indicates it is just a walk with heavy weights.

sloth won :embarrassed:

I'm justifying by knowing I'll likely be getting in lots of steps Saturday and don't think it's bad if I rest my ankle a bit more.

but also feeling lazy today.

Like WX said, just picking up the really heavy weight and walking with it. Sort of like they do at strongman competitions. Apparently the theory is that the arm bone is connected to the shouder bone, the hip bone is connected to the knee bone, and so on. So you are using your arms, your shoulders, your back, your abs, and your legs as you would with dead lifts (or rowing, rowing is the best at working everything) but you don't have the same lower back injury potential that you do with sets of deadlifts.
