Didn't get to the gym this week.

Our son came for a visit. I took him to the airport this morning at 5:30 a.m. so he could fly home to Germany. It was great to see him and for him to visit with his mom. He went running every morning, rain or shine. Back at home he hit's the gym at 7:00 a.m. on weekdays for a workout before going to work. For a guy nearly 50 years old, he looks darn fit.

After I got home from the airport, I took my wife to the hospital for lab work. Fortunately, she did not have to do dialysis today. In fact she may be getting the shunt taken out next week, if all goes well.

Since I couldn't find time for the gym, I decided to do bodyweight squats this week. On Tuesday, I did 3 sets of 15 reps, going really deep. Yesterday I did 3 sets of 25 reps also going deep. Surprisingly, my knee and sciatica seems less painful after squatting. Also I did leg extensions and kickbacks. If I can get to the gym next week, I'll be more ready to really hit it.
