on the spinning bike with Rhonda and Betsy

rounds of squats, back extensions and situps, then working on one leg squats from the bench. Shoulder still much too sore to do any arm work.

Not any kind of official course, but should be close. Just marked off a stretch of E River Rd at between 1.5 and 1.6 on the car odometer, out and back. Knee twinged a little at the beginning, then settled down, then felt kind of weird at the end, like puffy, but not painful.

So here's the MRI result on the R shoulder: Some nasty spurs, including one on the under side of the acromion that has frayed most of the way through the supraspinatus and part way through the infraspinatus. The other stuff is on the end of the clavicle. It seems that going under the knife is a pretty good idea, so I'll do that soon. Maybe before the team trials. Prognosis after surgery, according to the doc, is 3 weeks of limited activity, then full range of activity but not heavy stuff, then supposed to be all spiffed up by 6 weeks.

Then I had an X-ray of the other shoulder, which I had injured on Friday. It appears to have some of the same pathology, but I'll wait to see if it calms down.
