Did my full workout Wednesday as planned but my ride home took an unexpected turn.  Will be back in the gym ASAP. 

Did half a workout on Sat.   Did my cardio and about half of my resistance work and then  I got into a conversation with a guy who played at "Bama" back when Joe Namath and Kenny Stabler were the QB's in the middle 60's.  Needless to say, the ensuing conversation lasted about 45 minutes and totally screwed up my workout but the chat was fun.  I predicted the Heisman winner publicly ... the 'kid' really deserved it.  My back has been pretty good but my golf game yesterday SUCKED!!!  Couldn't hit the ball off the tee to save my ass.  Will be having a 'lung capacity' test and having my eyes checked when I get back to Florida after the holidays.  Billy did very well for his opening meet.  Better that he's ever done insofar as both time and injuries....keeping my fingers crossed.

Mom and I are really looking forward to seeing everybody at '1299' and I hope you 'three boys' will not let Grandma work too hard in the kitchen.... you know her, MAKE HER CHILL!!!

Saturday's work out was 'incomplete' thanks to a prolonged conversation with a guy who played for 'Bama' with both Namath and Stabler in the mid 60's.  Completed the cardio and about half the resistance and then this guy simply wouldn't let me go.   Said his name was Richard Bean and played on three National championships from 63-66 .... I googled him and struck out. 

Today's workout completed as scheduled.  Max bpm = 141  PWW = 233.2 Nothing else of note. Seeing the MF doctor tomorrow to conduct a 'case review' concerning my back pain.  I'm not in a good mood nor am I optimistic this appointment will serve to improve it.

Monday cardio/resistance workout completed as scheduled.  No difficulties.  Failed to get PWW.  Went to 'pulmanologist'  and he's starting me on an 'inhaylor' PRN, but mostly before bed and upon wake up.  We'll see.... I'm also scheduled for a 'lung capacity' test after the holidays.  I'm going to my primary physician to have a 'case review' concerning my back issues.  I'm not sure where we'll be going with that.  I no longer go to PT (it was only a short term fix) and the 'neurologist' said I was not a candidate for surgery (OK with me).  I think further evaluation is indicated.  Guided injections to rule in or out the SI joint I believe would be helpful.  We'll see......
