With my torn rotator cuff I'd be lucky to do it once at this point

These injections are amazing guys.

Yeah, I figure after 40 it's all about stopping the bleeding, so I was thrilled to see gains with routine lifting.

I should start lifting again.

Next year.......we'll get together. At 46, I may not be double timing, or speed walking, it'll be fun though

Yeah, and get a beer after. I can get behind that.

We'll have to plan a fishing trip. You're a handsome guy. Thanks for looking out for us grunts on the ground.

Now, my boys are there.

Started riding my Lifecycle again. Feels wonderful.

Since I started riding my Lifecycle and eating a little more healthy, I've lost 12 pounds.

I feel better...duh.

That's awesome. I love that moment when we say to ourselves 'why was I so dumb to forget how good this treats me'. We should make sure to keep it up this time, Canmore!

Yes! Don't know why I stopped. Unfortunately, I took about 8 years off for a myriad of reasons, none good.

Retiring from the Marines has been a big transition for me. It has been evident nowhere more than my workouts. I've been trying to keep at it on my own but I see that's not my thing. I need competition, I need a workout partner to keep me honest on days I just don't feel it, am lazy, or want to skip that last set/rep or whatever.

I'm still running 7 minute miles, still pushing good weight for my size, etc but I'm not getting better and I've put on 5 pounds.

I'm not pleased with myself.

Knowing my weaknesses, seeking self-improvement, I took the first step to getting back on track. To improving my fitness and ensuring I keep that ticker pumping for as long as I can.

I had a great workout today, met some good people. I'm excited.

I should've said in there, I joined a Crossfit gym. A buddy of mine that I served with and have known for more than a decade helped a few of his friends open this gym before he retired from the Corps a few months back.

I was using him as my competition and he suggested I look into Blacksite. So far I'm glad I did. I know some of the folks there already through Mike and I did run a tough mudder with many of them two years ago.

Good times.

I separated my shoulder about 3 weeks ago. Grade 2 AC sprain - tore some ligaments but no surgery required. My upper body is getting a little soft(er than usual) as I haven't been able to do pushups, chest, etc.

Anyone dealt with that before and have any advice on ramping back up? Doc said 6 week recovery.
