vivalasvegans Posted September 11, 2009 Author Share Posted September 11, 2009 Nah, not really, I think I'm just a drama queen or a big baby Thursday:I did a whole set of 20 20# db mil presses and I was so happy I couldn't stop smiling! next set I could only do 17, finished off with 3 more at 17.5#. After that, my body just was not gonna let me do any wide grip pull ups, even subtracting 90 pounds from my weight so i just ditched it. Loooooooong day, would have swam more but calves started cramping so bad when I got out of the pool I nearly fell down. Rode home pretty fast though, I cheated by drafting some chick on a fancy bike for a 1/2 mile.

Run in the am felt so good. I loved seeing the lives of what's left of the working class people around here that i don't usually see when i'm running around on the weekend. i'll take this into consideration when i readjust my workout sched. gonna have to do that soon, time is going to start being really tight. i also need to set some performance goals and decide where i want to put most of my energy this winter.

vivalasvegans Posted September 22, 2009 Author Share Posted September 22, 2009 Or better, if you like to snowboard! Monday: Had a few minutes where I had to sit still, and I started to become aware of this dull feeling of achey uneasiness. I wanted to move, but I had to sit there. I know that in some ways, I am both literally and metaphorically running away from things, but it feels so good to do it. I was happy to be able to run later in the day. When I did finaly get to run, I pushed to the limit. I ran as fast as my body would let me sustainably go... right up until I was ready to hurl a couple times. The last time I really thought I was gonna lose it. I just want to go faster. I know I have to keep at this slow progress, I get so impatient sometimes, and I am running... My swim felt good. I could go fast without hurling. But my lungs kind of hurt. In the morning, my quads couldn't quite keep up with how fast I wanted to go on the bike. Had a little DOMS in quads and hams, so even though it was leg day at the gym, I laid off, so my legs can fully recover before the century on saturday. I'll hit the weights for legs on Wednesday if they're feeling all healed. They're even still a little sore today (tuesday.)

vivalasvegans Posted September 24, 2009 Author Share Posted September 24, 2009 Wednesday: Tired, achey, maybe a little upset stomach. I couldn't stomach eating all my veggies, but I was really interested in eating some nice gentle carbish bread. Running was ok I guess, I felt less barfy, until the very end when I increased the pace to 7.5 minute mile. Weights were fine, it was a day when I could actually do assisted pull ups. The widest grip on the bar is too wide for me. Even though my shoulders seems muscley, they're pretty narrow, comparatively. My grip is kind of getting fucked, when I tried fooling around with dips, it hurt. I guess I have to play around with position on that... When I got to the pool, it seemed so so so cold, I couldn't get in. Sitting in the hot tub for 35 minutes didn't heat me up enough to think I could tolerate it, So I bagged on swimming. First time ever. My quads were just too spent.

Extra way to make myself strong, I guess. Rest days make me feel like I gained 1000 pounds. I dont think my bike shorts are gonna fit. Oh well, the people on my tail will get a little extra show.
