		<title>New Motorcycle</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, I took the dive and bought a bike, an &#8217;82 Honda GoldWing Interstate. The previous owner put two months of solid work into it and got it put back together and running at 85% or more. It still needs some work on the engine, though. It misfires occasionally and needs a good tune up. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Weightlifting Update</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So&#8230; A lot has happened in the past four months. I injured myself in early May trying to do a max power clean and I took three months off while I recovered. Once I felt like my back was healed, I started up again, but was quickly side-railed again when my long-term relationship ended suddenly. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Weightlifting Progress</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On April 5th, the gym did a crossfit total. I chose aggressive weights and scored 615.09lbs without missing a single rep. I should have been more agressive. Since that time, I&#8217;ve been gradually increasing the weight of my lifts. I&#8217;ve achieved a new PR in both the squat (5 reps of 220lbs) and shoulder press [...]]]></description>

		<title>All Barbells, All the Time</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today&#8217;s workout was all barbell work.  We started, like usual, with a strength workout. 2-2-2 Back Squat (90%) I did a few warm-up sets, then tried 133#.  I&#8217;ve done that weight before for one set of 3, so I knew I could do it.  It didn&#8217;t feel like 90%, so I jumped up to 155#.  [...]]]></description>
