My work computer blocking me from this site is getting to be a pain...   Training goes on.  TKD class last night.  Lifted this morning and went up a tad in weight on all exercises.  I know I repeat this but I am still surprised at how switching my workout to include more pushups, sit-ups and pull ups and spacing out my lifts to 1 or 2 times a week has improved my strength.  

Work is kinda slow at the moment which is nice because it gives me a little extra free time that I am trying to put to good use for my essays.  I pretty much have them done.  The pre-history one is the most difficult.  Typically writing is fairly easy for me.  This essay is difficult to push through for some reason.  I think it is because there is a lot of divergent opinions on the subject matter.  I am an engineer at heart and do not like ambiguity.  I have 11 pages saved on a computer.  5.5 are good.  5.5 are pretty crappy.  However, at least now I am technically revising.
