A.M. 4 miles at the gym and weight lifting afterwards.  My shoulder still feels pretty weak.  I tried pull-ups but couldn't fully extend down without feeling like it was going to slip out, so I did five with 75% extension.  Hey, at least I'm not as bad as the guy I saw struggling to lift these little two pound weights.  He was a big (strong looking) dude but for some reason he was straining to lift feather weights.  By the looks of it he had injured his shoulders or just had shoulder surgeries or something because he moved very slowly and didn't have full range of motion yet.  It looked painful.

P.M. 4 miles to the tractor park.  Aaron picked up pizza and met me there with the kids.  I ran my last half mile barefoot with the kids.

You know you are hardcore when you can say you did 5 pullups after dislocating you shoulder and casually putting it back in place while rafting. Sounds like a fun family run!

Shoulders are tricky things.

April-I assure you, putting my shoulder back in was anything but casual. I was in panic mode as the thought of tipping and floating down the next rapid with my shoulder still out flashed through my mind. I'm just glad it turned out okay.

Carolyn-Yes very tricky.

Oh yikes, that is a terrible thought!
