Needless to say, I did not make it to the gym all of last week. I did some stretching and foam rolling stuff a couple of times and about 35 minutes on the treadmill on Saturday. I made it back to the gym today though (report to follow)!
I had started some cool thoughts about the summit but just never finished and now it's kinda late.
In a nutshell, I had a great time and met some awesome people! I wish I could have had more time to spend visiting though! I took a lot of good information out of there and will start putting it to work!
I did get one story typed about my flight home, and I'll wrap up my summit thoughts with it: Enjoy:
After my extremely long, delayed flight into KC, while I was sitting in the KC airport guzzling water after water; I couldn't help but think just how much a repeat of my flight in would suck on the way home and I was really dreading this possibility. No rain, no tornadoes, I should be okay!!
Despite not being able to sleep, this flight wasn't all that bad. In fact, I'm pretty sure the flight attendant had a bit of a crush on me! We exchanged the usual smiles and pleasantries while I ordered my ginger ale to help settle my not so settled stomach. The flight attendant provided some more exaggerated smiles and pleasantries and then carries on.
So my ginger ale shows up along with a shooter of jack daniels! I quickly explain to the attendant that I did not order the jack daniels (as I may have had a little too much last night) and certainly didn't want to pay for it (in more ways than one). The attendant said, "oh this is on me, you look like you need it" *smile*. Then I was asked if I didn't drink or something? ha ha *smile* I said, yeah, that's a little far from the truth. So I figure, what the hell; a little hair of the dog will probably do me some good.
I drink my drink and head to the bathroom. I get back to my seat and to my surprise I find another ginger ale and shooter of jack daniels on my tray table which I'm quite sure I put up to go to the bathroom. A smile and nod follows from my new friend. I was starting to feel better, so what the heck, another one sounds pretty good by now!! My drink is consumed and my new friend shows up. I say thanks, I appreciate it and it really helped (this is true actually). "Oh, well let me get you another!" is the response I'm given. I express my gratitude but there is no way I'm drinking any more and my friend is finally assured I don't need anything else to drink, or more peanuts, or more pretzels. I'm flattered and I smile as I put my iPod back on and relax. Final thank you's are exchanged as well as inquiries about where I'm from, etc. Talk about some great service!!
In other news: the flight attendant was a guy!!!

Ahahahahahaaaaa! Hilarious story! I'm with Kathy, did you get a number? LOL!
Nice workout, it's always hardest getting back in there after being out for so long, especially when you're sick. That is a heck of a lot of reps and sets anyway, holy cow! Maybe I should rethink my decision to do HIAH next? Deadlifts looking good too.
...and, CHALLENGE? What challenge? Gotta go check it out! No more time online though atm, I'll have to wait...
