Winnipeg Jets = Missed Training Days

All in all not a bad second week of training.  When I was running full-time I had the luxury of structuring life around running, not anymore I now have to contend with the clinic and the Winnipeg Jets schedule!  When I not working I'm either at a game or watching the game on TV.  As you will see twice this week I decided to watch the Jets play instead of going for a run.  I sometime PVR the games, but this week seemed like it would make for yet another great excuse not to run.

Monday
50 minute easy run with Lisa


Tuesday
Headed to the Maxbell Center for a 25 minute run and 8 x 80 meters (walk back rest).  I then headed over to 

CrossFit 204 we worked up to a maximum 1 rep floor press (kinda like a bench press), followed by 3 sets 100 skips (single) followed by 50 air squats.  

For the bench press I did a 155 pounds.  I think thats pretty good for a skinny distance runner!  I really how many of the workouts have been structured with more of a skill component when fresh and then lots of anaerobic work to finish off the session

Wednesday
Jets vs Canadians (L)

Thursday

Another session at CrossFit.  Warmed up to a maximum deadlift followed by Tabata shuttle runs (2 sets of 8 x 20seconds (10sec rest).  

I was very cautious with the deadlifts because I have never done them before.  I stopped at 145 pounds.  I am certain everyone in the class lifted double!  The shuttle runs were extremely difficult.  I could feel during the runs I was tweaking my back each time I bent down to touch the line.  And the next day I was quite sore.

Friday

35 Minute Run with Lisa.  

Saturday

Jets vs Sabres (W)

Sunday

Did another Crossfit session.  1000m row followed by a pyramid of push-ups and squats and finishing with 40 hollow rocks and 40 burpees.

And as i'm writing this I'm feeling guilty that i did so little running that i'm going to head out for a 60 minute easy run.

For this coming week I need to run more!!!!
