I started shovelgloving again this week, nice and slow
using the 21-14-7 rep system I described in a previous
post, and using just the 12 pounder.

I'm surprised at how little I've deteriorated over 3
weeks of relative inactivity. I feel I could easily
kick it up a notch, and have to force myself to play
it safe.

I'm also surprised by how eager I was to start
shovelgloving again, how uncomfortable I felt not
doing it for 3 weeks. I've never felt that way about
any exercise routine before. An incident like this
would have been a welcome excuse to quit.

My red cat, Gingi, who, strangely enough, synchronizes
his horny little cat dances with my shovelglove
routines, is also manifestly happy I've started again
(I have to make a video of this sometime, it's
delightfully absurd).

Hope the rest of you are doing ok. Pipe up if you've
got stories (or troubles, or questions).
