Decided to go for a roller blade down by the lake at lunch. It's extremely hot here today, but it was a bit cooler by the lake. I couldn't face being indoors doing cardio. Can't say it was a very long skate, but at least it was something and it...

So I did squats and deadlifts yesterday will post that later. Any way I woke up at 4 am with a growing attack of gout. Right now at work it is sore as hell and not sure if the meds I have been taking since 4am are working. I hate this!

I have a T-off booked for 4pm, but it is raining right now and there are severe thunderstorm warnings. Hopefully it'll clear up by then. We'll be walking the 18 with pull carts. If not, my workout will consist of house cleaning in lieu of golf....
