Hot on the heels of my last blog about how happy I am with the weightlifting, I went and pulled a muscle at the gym. It was near the end of the workout, and we were just starting the final set of reps on the Hammer Strength Shoulder Press, I decided to bump the weight up 30lbs more than usual. Did 1, 2, 3, then on the 4th...halfway up...pain in the left side. Lots of pain, all through the left shoulder, neck, and back. The worst was having to goto work after that. Right now, a full day later, I still don't have full range of neck use. Ah well, it happens. A small setback certainly won't stop me from continuing on with Week 5 on Monday.


I made a compilation CD last weekend, and I've been listening to it pretty constantly. I'm rather happy with it, other than a couple songs that run at a bit lower volume than the rest :\. I figured I'd post the track listing on here and get some opinions (feel free to dish out flames as well as compliments), at the same time hopefully some suggestions! I'm planning on making a few more cd's before I leave for Europe...so maybe my readers can take some cues from this one here and offer some ideas...(all ideas I'd appreciate greatly)
