I went back to Gleason's Gym in Eagan yesterday with Joel - it's been almost a year, but I was told it wouldn't be as crowded this time. The guy who told me that was conveniently out of town though, and I wouldn't exactly say we had the gym to ourselves. It was definitely less crowded this time. I kind of like it though, being around other gymnasts that are still in their prime. It sort of makes me feel like I'm back in it instead of feeling like an old man trying to do something he shouldn't. I definitely hit it hard too. I haven't done that much at the gym for probably six months or more, and I definitely put my neck through the paces - I had to go see the physical therapist today to put it back in place. Joel took a lot of video which you can see below. The majority of the video is the two of us trying to do a handstand on this contraption Joel found, which he's convinced is what its actually used for. They do have a lot of weird stuff at this place, so I'll believe him. Pay attention to me swinging on the strap bar in the trough and see if you can tell when my neck snaps back and scares the crap out of me!
