so I got up at about 4:45am so that I could be out running before 5am. felt pretty tough. I think a week break was good for me in the gym, in that i felt relaxed and ready to work out yesterday, but I'm not sure the break did anything for my running. i don't really think a week is long enough to get out of conditioning, but it did feel difficult this morning. my heel/arch made itself known. was a little worse when I started, seemed to fade a little while running. not painful, just noticeable. then my dress shoes were a litle too flat/hard. on my walk into work, my arch/heel seemed to ache a little more. iced it. rolled it. will track it and see if subsequent runs make it the same or worse.
crossfit. 5 RFT: 10 handstand pushups, 20 double unders, 250m row. I got through this pretty fast, at least it felt fast. all good stuff, the making of a fun WOD, but it brings up an issue I am having. none of these is specifically strength training. the nature of the programming and the variability of a "workout of the day" means it may not be what I am looking for. I don't want my cardio in the gym, and I'm not really looking for improving my endurance in the gym I will get that on the road, in spades. I want to work some strength. some lifting, some core strengthening, some mobility, some bodyweight exercises (pullups, push ups, etc). we'll see how the next few weeks/months go.
3/6/14. run. crossfit. handstand pushups. double unders. rowing. coffee. orange. almonds. ham/artichoke/swiss cheese lasagne. tortellini with sausage. apple. almonds. cheese stick. meatloaf. mashed potatoes. spinach souffle. a few gin and tonics. not enough water.
