Rumble

My sister Meg snapped a few pictures of Randall and I at the Rumble.  You can see the rest of what she took here.  It is the only currently available media of my 2008 Rumble appearance.  I have two camcorders full of video at home that I have not been motivated to rip yet.  It has sat dormant partly because of me being busy with other projects and partly because our end result was not very spectacular.  I will get around to it someday.  I can put lipstick on any pig.

Speaking of the Rumble, I still have a chronically sore left shoulder since the event nearly two months ago.  Lately it feels sore almost all of the time.  Now I know I have aggravated it a few times at the gym as well as just doing labor around the house.  Playing extended amounts of Wii when my bro was down certainly didn’t help things along either.  I am making a concerted effort to not aggravate it now so it can heal up.  Ironically doing most conventional shoulder exercises at the gym don’t bother it at all.  It’s when I do pressing chest exercises where it starts to burn, especially the flat bench variety. I was hoping to get a few more vball tournaments in this year but doing so at this point would be like hacking off my left arm with a chainsaw. 

This week I have jumped right back into doing multiple 300’s even though I had a 12 day layoff due to the family visiting.  I have two under my belt this week and I am considering knocking out a third on Friday which would give me a nifty 900.  Ironically as physically demanding the 300 is, I have hardly hurt myself at all doing it over the past year and a half.
