Vacation Update:

Been out of town and skiing in cold weather all weekend.  Just arrived back home and it's great to be back.  We all had a great time.  Ate something that turned stomach to liquid last Thursday and it is still cramping.  Been able to work through it but eating anything causes feeling of nausea and cramping.  Bizarre… I hope I get over it soon although I seem to be able to work through it when I have to.  Starting WOD's again tomorrow.

Iced shoulder all day today and it hasn't felt this good in a while.  Continuing to power ice through next week or as long as necessary to maintain improvement.

Ate something at lunch today that liquified the stomach and caused cramping all day. Almost didn’t follow through with workout.

The helping hand that loaded the sled loaded it with x6 45# plates instead of x5. I didn’t know it until I was unloading it post wod. Pushing the sled was more like churning in low gear as I could never get enough momentum past the first round to get into a run.
