This Week
Definitely another good week.
The big triumph was finding a way to start waking up early again. I’ve been wanting to do that for a long, long time.
Since golf is my primary objective, I need to maximize my ability to play and practice while fitting it all in with my full time job.
Typically, I get home fairly late because I have a 45 minute commute. Before, I’d get up, stumble out of bed into the shower and get [...]

This Week
What a good week. Finally!
I got back in the gym again after so long. Three good workouts.
I started slowly for the first workout because I didn’t know what kind of post surgical issues I was going to get. I found that some things were a little painful in the area where my guts were hacked up, but nothing extreme.
I was fine for cardio and most of the stretches that I tried. The first day back, [...]
