I was not feeling in the zone today so I did lighter weights and less sets (but additional exercises) and got my time in. I haven’t had an off day lifting for a little while so I don’t feel bad about today. Also I had a great run day yesterday so that also made me feel ok about today not being a great lifting day.
This afternoon I hit the gym and did 20 minutes at levels 14-16 (out of 20) on the elliptical stepper machine. I was breathing hard and broke a sweat and I got out of there quickly. I nneded to do some chores and I still need to pack for NJ.
Cooking dinner was on my to do list. I cooked some chicken thighs with mushrooms and chick peas and seasoned it with tandori marsala spices. We added some potatoes to the dish as well and it was a big hit! It rocked! And it looked good to.
A little while back I posted about an incident that had scared my wife and I while jogging. Since that morning I have given up jogging with my 6.6 ounce .32acp and switched over to my 27 ounce .45 acp. I gave up the comfortableness of the light pistol for the comforting of the larger heavier pistol. Problem is my holster is great for walking or hiking but not great for running. I have managed to get rubbed raw on my leg from jogging with it multiple times and I have bruised my side as well.
As bad as it might look I have not had any discomfort on my leg or side, until this last jog. My side is not sore even with the small light pistol as it presses right on the bruises. I ordered and received a new holster so I can now carry my 9mm which weights 12 ounces. This is considerably lighter than the .45 acp but is still a powerful enough pistol to provide some comfort while jogging. I will try it out tomorrow on a short jog but will have to wear it on my opposite side so as to not irritate my existing sore spots. This will be a good test to see if this holster will cause any issues since I have not worn a holster for cross draw yet. I am sure I will eventually go back to carrying the light .32 acp but it will take me a while to get back to that level of feeling safe and secure while out running.
