Meant to lift today. Achy and not feeling the best. Could be stress and some extra rest will be good. Figure I'll stick to my plan of no event training until after Thanksgiving.

42 Minutes of Stretching
Comments: I meant to get to this workout as soon as I got out of work but I forgot a change of clothes. My left shoulder was uncharacteristically achy and it bothered me the entire workout. I honestly wasn't expecting much. Log pressing was rough and it didn't look like I was going to get 265lbs, let alone a PR weight. Not sure what happened but 280lbs went up easier than 265lbs, so much so that I started laughing during the rep. 10lbs more and got it with a fight. My down set sucked as I got an easy first rep and then missed the second twice before getting it. Log pressing is weird. Nothing really to say on swiss bar floor presses other than my triceps were starting to get sore. I decided to go the dumbbell route for incline as it requires more balance, the groove isn't so fixed and I can bail from the lift easier. Even though the last set (wasn't planned) was two reps under my PR, these went better than my incline from last week. Not sure if my body is adapting or if it was just less volume this week. Then the triceps stuff. Other than the shoulder and some issues with the cable, these were good and hard. Lots of stretching.

Walking - 32 minutes
Comments: I like walking while it is cool outside. Refreshing and relaxing. My knees were feeling achy all day but they feel better after a good walk.
