I didn't open a computer on vacation and it was wonderful! I trained 4 times at a Crossfit gym. The owner was really cool. I called him and asked if I could get a workout in on my own. He said they were only open for groups, but to come on in. So, I did my thing while they ran classes. Of the four Crossfit gyms I called, he was the only guy that didn't have the Crossfit ego and let me do my thing. I did the basics. Squatted 2xs, Benched 4x (only had straight bars, so no overhead or incline work with my shoulder issues), Pulled 2x and did a butt ton of Pull-ups. I watched a lot of football and actually gained a few lbs. The weather was bad for about 5 days (lots of rain) so I wasn't as active as I usually am. No big deal. Now, I'm back in the swing of things getting ready for the semester. A few more days of relaxation and the kids get back and it's back to work for real! The way the schedule works out, it'll have been 8 weeks since I've had an organized group in the weight room. I definitely got to decompress and I'm ready to go.
