I’m almost feeling like I can hit my gym again. Probably never really heavy again, but that’s okay… I’m old anyway 
Get after it sober tribe. Investment into your body is more important than any financial investment ever could be. All you got at the end of the day is you, make it the best you.

Are you dealing with injuries right now? Or is it work/life stuff getting in the way of being able to start up again?

We’re suspecting rheumatoid arthritis at this point… I guess the decades of hard abuse caught up.

That’ll do it. I ended up with arthritis in my right hip so bad from self abuse, that it’s now made of titanium 
. Hope it feels better soon

We’ll see. The rheumatologist appointment was 11 months out when i got referred, only 3 months left to wait. I’m on mobic now which gets things feeling better but isn’t stopping my immune system from attacking joint tissue. The worst part honestly is probably the fatigue and just generally feeling like shit most of the time.

I’m pivoting in my fitness training. The app I use for non running workouts have different classes on them. The most used and the one I have been doing is classified as camp- it’s more like a hit workout. Some strength but also cardio involved. I follow this running coach on social media and she made a post of how that isn’t helpful for runners because we get enough cardio already. So yesterday I did my first class that was labeled strength. Drop sets of split squats, hammer curls, reserve bicep curls and then some tricep dips and extensions. 
My biceps have some shit to say today!! I’ve been doing the camp style workout for so long so this may take some getting used to. The trainer I used yesterday has 3 classes a week, all at 730am which is perfect for the summer cause it means I can give the doggos their walk earlier and avoid the sun.

Really going through it today guys, girl down. Depression brain is such a joke it took me hrs to even come up w a plan of what I could do lifting wise. I managed about 1/2 my usual volume in the same time. For legs yday I left out the heavy low rep sets, no point trying in this state. After an hr I actually started to feel a little bit of relief. Gonna be a black day but there’ll be better ones again.
Sometimes just do what you have to do, no matter what.
