In past years, I did two exercises per delt on my Shoulders day for a total of 6. But those days also feature a 4x12 approach. Today's 5x15 is a time suck! Thus, just one exercise for each:

• DB Side Lying Rear Delt Raises
• DB Upright Rows
• DB Arnold Press

That 45-minute window blew by. At BRC, I did...

• 25 minutes walking on a 7-7.5% incline treadmill
• 17 minutes climbing on an arc trainer
• 26 minutes walking on the indoor track
• 28 minutes walking with outdoor walking

In the cardio room, not only did I go crashing on the ground but I also left my phone behind. But, as all I do is win now, even those are notched on my belt. In cleaning the treadmill, the metal leg that holds up the cleansing rag snagged my foot. As I fell, I had the athletic presence of mind, to turn 180°, land on my right glute (the same side I got snagged on) and then flow into the fall, even pushing with my arms at one point.

Now the phone thing came after my time on the arc trainer. I climbed up the stairs and began striding when my bluetooth cut out. Hurriedly I returned, again facing those stairs picked it up and climbed 'em for a second time. You know what I noticed? They are markedly easier than a couple of Sundays ago. I am still training going down as it is not as smooth as 2021. That said, the progress is remarkable.

I left the BRC and walked to the adjoining neighborhood...MY neighborhood...well, was. I walked to my childhood home, a place I knew for more than 18 years. I always planned on walking by that place. I even had that 5K planned in 2021:

But, I never did...until today. It was...a moving experience. It felt so very familiar, as if I was a high school kid again...or expecting to go out on another Saturday night in college—time for a Memphian Club, Kentucky Pie and a Sweet Tea from McAlister's! I could write at length about everything I felt and remembered...and everything I know and everyone I knew are...well...truthfully, I am so far away. And this is a good thing. I only wish people who saw me then could see me now.
