Great work Steve. It looks like you've been killing it recently. Great job with the Press PR, and Pull-ups are looking strong too.

Thank you, Sir! They keep telling me that if I work hard and practice, I'll be able to lift my leg with the big dawgs some day! :D

Justin,

Thanks for the continued encouragement! I think I'm getting my motivation back - - actually looking forward to shoving metal and some PC soreness...

[COLOR=Red][B]135# X 5 - PR[/B][COLOR=Black](by a long shot. Got 125# for one rep 090310. I think my form "clicked." The bar just flew up the first three reps. Reps 4 and 5 got pretty ragged, so dropped to 95# for the WOD).
[B]Dips (bar): [/B]Got 7 strict bar dips with good depth but pain from bursitis in R/shoulder told me it wasn't quite ready.....

Thanks, Nancy. It's never easy - - they all have different and lovable personalities......this one was extra special.

Hope you had a great day there in SB. Beautiful weather up here most of the day.

I'm so sorry about your cat, Steve
17 1/2 years is an amazing lifetime, what a blessing she got to spend it with you.

Sam and Carter,

Thank you both for the kind words.

Sam, the chin is definitely "up." Definitely had the best of times with Tasha.....lots of great things to remember and no sadness from that.

Re: Steve's "I'm not aging quietly" log
 

Steve,

Condolences on the loss of your buddy. Sounds like she had a wonderful life, though.

Scott
