Morning. Rest day here. Much needed too. Pretty beat down from such a long week and a super long day yesterday. Hope you all have a good one.

Yeah, resting here too.

Hope you guys are enjoying your rest day. I stumbled upon Ripp's Forum last night and joined it. I'm going to post my training over there too. Not that our own private forum isn't good enough. Anyway, just thought I'd pass that along if you are interested. The link is:

http://startingstrength.com/resources/forum/forum.php

I created a training log for myself http://startingstrength.com/resources/forum/intermediate-training-logs/59159-24-family-training-sleep-zero.html. It is posted in the Intermediate Training Logs.

Again, I like both of our forums better, but it is nice to see what other people (who train similarly) are doing. As of now, I plan to post my stuff here and over there.

Sounds good. I joined and may post there. If you are not up to keeping garagegymwarriors going don't hang on to it for my sake. Just give the word and I'll meet you over at SS and keep a log there.

2.25 mile run TT=20'22"
Hot as hell even at 930pm.

Nice job on the run. Yeah, I try to get mine in in the morning if possible. After that it's all over for the rest of the day.

As for this site, it doesn't take much to keep it running. I just post a thread every day and check it here and there. I like this site because it allows us to discuss things if we want without "getting in trouble" if another site has some weird rules, etc. To be honest, I think I liked Elephant Fitness better. I started this site because I was going to pitch it to folks on Facebook again (since this one has FB capabilities). As luck would have it, as soon as I started this site, things got so ridiculous over on FB that I have more or less gotten off of there all together. To me, facebook basically embodies what is wrong with our country and our society. A bunch of ignorant, narcissistic people that live their lives for the false approval of people that they think are still their friends. It really baffled me to see people who are on vacation posting stuff nonstop to FB. I mean, you're on vacation right? Why are you living your life on the internet? Be on vacation. And most folks on there tend to share the same political beliefs and are quite loud about them (they coincidentally do not match up with mine). OK, this rant has gone on long enough. Sorry about that.

I'll still keep this site going for now and I'll absolutely let you know if that changes. If you start a log over there, please link it here and I'll follow you and comment. I had second thoughts about posting there at all as I am not really competing and don't have any goals in mind. Most of those people probably see what I do and have no idea how hard I was pushing it just a month or two ago. I would be bored to tears reading my workouts now. Ha ha.
