TT Contest – Day 62

Day 62 – July 31

I seem to have injured my elbow during Tuesday’s beer-league softball game (although it’s been bothering me since spending some time at the batting cages over the past two weeks).  Thankfully softball season is now over, but I think its best to lay off any attempt at working out the arms until the pain goes down.   Will likely hit up some intervals on the treadmill tomorrow in the AM.

Did not do a great job updating the past week or so..
