Right now, Jello is what my body feels like. Chances are, I am going to pay for this tomorrow. Right now though, my arms, back and abs, they are nothing more than Jello.

Why might this be? Today started with lifting heavy (for me) with relatively low reps in the weight room at 0530. After getting a little work done, I was doing a variation on fulls by 1000. This workout consisted of a full, 1/2's, 1/3's, 1/2's, and finally a full. Between the 1/2's and 1/3's parts I took 30 seconds rest. The first three runs went all-right. By the fourth, precision started to wane. Once the fifth rolled around, stick a fork in me. I was done.

It does not help that summer has very much arrived in force here in Charlotte. We are in the 90's already with the wonderful southeastern humidity to push up the heat index just a little more. Right now, I cannot drink enough fluids. After getting off the water today, I have put in almost three liters. Still I am not not hydrated.

The day is not yet done either. Tonight the water is on until 2100, and I will be on it. Thankfully though, tonight is nothing more than a technique session. The format of which will be determined largely by what I have left by then. Three sessions with work sprinkled in, this is just another day in the life! This evening has the potential to be interesting...for those on shore watching.
