Project Rebuild Mike (Mike)

After 6 weeks of inactivity, I mowed grass today.  This is what followed:

Not really any pain, but regular icing will likely become part of my lifelong preventative maintenance.

Assuming I work my way out of the flu bug that's plagued me all week, I hope to get back in action next week.  I'll probably focus on cycling and swimming to regain some strength before easing my way back into pounding any pavement.

I've also been considering getting back in the gym to lift maybe a day a week; nothing major or too heavy.  Then I learned that Corey now has a bench press in excess of 365lbs.  (sigh)  This is the 3rd time I've taken a 2 year break from heavy weightlifting and I don't know if I have any desire to put that stress back on my body again.  But....I'm not sure how I'll react if my 390lbs bench press record and title of Triana's Strongest Man goes down. .... "huh? Oh, Corey benched 385 today....hey Henry, I think I can absorb his work responsibilities...what do you say we eliminate that position?"  Ha ha ha, joking ...  probably
