Truly Blessed

I'm easing into my gym routine...I don't have quite as much to say about the whole day. I'm getting comfy and going in and doing my thing. I did help Adam discover a new stretch today that he was rather excited to do himself.

I did Bent Over Rows and supersetted it with a kind of Row Press thing, 40 lbs. 4 sets of 10/6. I did Lat. Raises for the first time in three weeks. It felt pretty good. I only used 5 lbs. since it's been so long. Next were some Rope Pulldown things, lol. I'm not sure, they were like a row but I pulled from above my head and down to my chest, 150 lbs. 3 sets. I think that's all I did with Adam

On my own was Pull-ups, 8, 5, 7. Smith Military, 120 lbs. 3 sets of 12. 6 Wrist Curls. Alternating Supermans and Plate Twist Crunches w/ a 25 lb. plate.

What I do have a comment about is all my sponsors that have given to me. My total is down to $920! I'm just shocked, and so humbled. It's the truth, that when there seems to be no way, God will make the way. My sponsors will never know how much it means to me that I get to stay working with Adam and I don't have to go it on my own with a bunch of spotters. It's a life-saver. I don't think I'd have the mental strength to be able to do it without knowing I have a trainer that will be there every day and has worked with me to know what I need.

Prayer requests for the day are my Paralympian friend Mary, who is having that exact struggle with almost all of her spotters. And pray for Adam. He has Plantar Fasciitis in one of his feet and today he talked about a bone spur in his heel. I'm not sure if they go together or if they're separate. His foot was really bothering him today, and he said the only thing they could do for him would be surgery. Which of course he says "No Thanks" (just like I would), because he's supposed to be in his first full Triathlon in August.
