Trying to rest. Trying to sleep. Trying to rid myself of this annoying sinus cold.
Tomorrow (or rather, later this morning), I have a meeting with the Assistant Director of Athletics at Georgia State University to discuss my career path. I would very much like to be rested, healthy and full of energy for that meeting.
I limited my workout today to 90 reps of various crunches to work on my abs. Between yesterday's workout and this cold, I just didn't have limbs that were restful enough to do a full-body workout today.
Here's to hoping that this medicine will kick in and I'll be able to sleep without much problems from my sinuses.
Goodnight.

Refreshing Nightcap
So, for a day that has had me mostly bedridden with bad sinus problems, it turned out pretty good.
After having worked out this morning, I spent the better part of the day sneezing, dealing with a runny nose and failing to sleep off some of the symptoms. Then, this evening, I decided to head out for more fitness.
I had originally planned to swim, but my knees were feeling spry and the basketball court was calling my name. I ventured in. I shot around with a few other guys for a while switching between taking shots with my off hand and my dominant hand. Eventually, Jason showed up after he had concluded his cardio workout. We shot around for a little while longer, then we joined one of the other guys in the gym for a 3-man game of 21. He was dominant, hitting most of his jump shots, but he failed to make any of his free throws. I managed to make enough shots to stay close, but the freebies were my advantage.

Puttin' In Work
Just got home from the gym and grabbing a chicken sandwich for lunch.
Woke up today at 7:00am. Struggled to get up, because I managed very little quality sleep. My sinuses were rather active and kept me from sleeping well. But, I pushed through and made it through.
Started things off with a breakfast of 1-scoop of Muscle Milk© mixed in a bottle of room temp Deer Park© water. Followed that up with 2 eggs. All together, I began my day with 28g of protein.
Arrived at the gym and talked with a trainer. I got started with a warmup of 15 minutes on the Elliptical machine.
