90 days

If I wanted to start making excuses, I'd have many. They wouldn't be good though. I've been on a 90 temp assignment with lots of travel. So I could start with that. We have a daughter now, so two kids make it harder. That sounds right. I'm also just a lazy over-eater. Truth.
No excuses quite fit, nor do they excuse not logging what I have done.

Impact

Dropped 185lbs on myself today. It was bound to happen I suppose. Happily for me (and my family -- especially Tiff) I am OK.

Goal was warm up then do three attempts at 1rm snatch and c&j. Pick/call your attempts and only three attempts.
So I move well until 180, which I make cleanly. But at 185 it just comes straight down on me when I don't lock out.

This should have been my cue to hit the shower and go home or even return to work.

Tried to hit it two more times.
Failed.

Then did Amanda in 7:58.

Fri fun

I've got a sinking feeling that hard work is required from this point on.

The snatch didn't like me today, nor I it. A simple 5*2 @165 left me beaten. First set tapped a knee on both reps. Dropped to 155. Failed 2nd rep. Even at 135 I felt like yuck. Back at it again soon.
