Notes

achilles still feeling pretty good. got a pair of clifton 10s to replace my retired 9s that i have used as walking shoes and kind of wondering to what extent walking in the 9s has been an issue. i walk a lot, and man the contrast between the new 10s and the old 9s is pretty stark, the 9s feel like walking on sponges.

hell yeah. 4 consecutive days of ~8.5-9 hours of sleep is probably a big factor here. 

taunting me.

heh, rare that i sleep past 6.30 even on the weekends, so present me is also feeling taunted

Comments: Old age in the chinups with 11, despite not doing any for the last two months or so. I did a 40 rep set in the leg press and got crazy glute soreness and not much quad soreness, I think my quads just don't really "fire" that well and the range of motion is limited in each rep, the press doesn't travel that much up and down (I'm limiting the movement to the point where my heels would raise from the platform). Leg raises were good and so were the ab wheel rollouts. Triceps pulldowns sucked, as usual.
