Monday

Monday, July 2nd, 2012, 193, NS, JotD, AAD 32

Rise at 5:45, shower, sitting and off to work.  Found myself looping from the car to the house twice, as I forgot two things on the way out.  Inauspiscious way to begin the day.  More of a start really.

A crazy week for looking forward and back:
- Potential news this week about the Higgs boson, aka why some things have mass
- A research team leaving for a small island in the Pacific, with a strong lead that they have found where Amelia Earhart was stranded after crashing
--------------------------------

A good morning workout, very upper-body focused:

3 times through:
5 presses each arm (35# KB)
5 pull-ups
10 pushups (hands on medicine balls)
10 rows each arm (45# KB)
20 overhead swings (45# KB)

I think this will be at least twice a week, with the Friday big workout as the third.
---------------------------------

Beginning the middle week of the AAD.  I've been struggling with my capacity to learn new material.  Part of this may be the time I approach it (evenings), part of it seems to be an internal limit.  Looking for ways to improve this - a limited ability to read and "envision" the music feels like the the main things to address.

Home.  Tired.  Practice.  Play.  Bed
