Happy New Year's Eve

2014 will be my 1st year in the "land of google" as my Android phone just arrived. As a denizen of the Apple ecosystem since 2008 it will be interesting to see how it progresses and whether or not it will have any bearing on my fitness. Probably not, but I will squawk about it occasionally as a respite from my blathering.

Today:

-In 15:00 to set a heavy 1rep snatch for the day, hit 165, FL170x2.
