Long Absence

Hey ya'll

Sorry for the long absence from posting. I was pretty much a lazy potato over the holidays, so I didn't have much to write and didn't feel like posting the little things.

I did PT and ran off and on, and am starting to get back into a regular routine. For example, after hiking last Wed, I ran 4 miles on Thursday. Uphill the entire 1st two miles. Sucked. Good though. Went surfing Saturday, then ran a mile in the sand. Yesterday, ran 4 miles with Bryan (surfing buddy), and did some PT. We're gonna keep working out together to make sure we're motivated.
We did an easy pyramid to start with: 1-5-1 pullups, x3 Pushups, x6 situps. Felt really good. Then did 15, 10, 5 dips. Those hurt. Last week I did some PT too. Supersets, flutters, haulers, etc.

Biking a lot to work and around. At least 10 miles a day.

Other things: had my 2nd screening for the eye surgery and was disqualified because my vision is too good. So, hopefully I'm not in a weird pocket between having too good of eyes for surgery, but too bad for pilot. Maybe my sight has improved or something. I'm trying to get a hold of the flight surgeon to ask what my options are at this juncture. Let's hope I can still apply!

Good to see that you are back! I saw your comment on my page and that's how I knew you were blogging again. Good stuff.

How is the surfing going?

Iffy. I'm getting braver, but still can't time it right. Next time is lucky number 6. Hopefully I can stand!

Damn, that's a tough spot between not good enough and not bad enough. Would carrots help?

Good job with the PT. I'm glad that those dips hurt. That means you were working hard. It's also good you have a PT/running buddy you join you. That helps.

Keep up the good work.
