Time to Panic?

This was a terrible week of training.  I'm just can't find the time to workout.  And when I do find the time I'm absolutely exhausted.  I'm going to attempt to regroup this next week as I am starting to run out of time for Manitoba Marathon.  The good news is I don't have any major aches or pains.  I've been pretty good with getting regular sports massage and chiropractic adjustments.  Good luck to everyone running Boston Marathon tomorrow!!!

I Just Got Beat By A Girl

Another good week of training (I think).  On Wednesday I did my weekly track workout with Cathy.  This week we switched it up doing a bit more anaerobic training - 16 x 200 meters with a 60 second rest.    We quickly settled in to 32 seconds per 200 meters. I felt pretty uncomfortable after only a few reps, but held tough because I wasn't going to let a girl beat me.  Cathy and I have been training together since the age of 15, even back then she could beat me at sprints!   By the 8th rep I was hurting pretty bad I told her I was about to quit.  Cathy told me to suck it up, I held on for another 4 reps before calling it a day.  Cathy did an extra two reps for a total of 14 x 200 meters.  

Monday

CrossFit  5 x 5 reps of back squat.

I had completed this workout the previous week.  I increased my weight to 115LB.  I feel I can  do a lot more but I'm not sure the trade off of being sore is worth it.

Recovering from Jets Game

Massage Therapy + New Business = UNPREDICTABLE

Much of my inability to train well is a direct result of the career I choose as a massage therapist.  Being able  to work a consistent 9-5 is not in the cards.  And with Massage Athletica having been open only 8 months I haven't quite figured out the ebbs & flows of this clinic.  Last week I predicted we were going to be slow with spring break, what do I know it has been our busy week to date.  As a result of the hectic work week and a few Jets games training once again suffered.

Monday
CrossFit  Warmup + 5 sets of 5 reps of back squats (110LB) + Cooldown

Tuesday
pm 1: 15 minute easy run + 6 x 10 seconds fast + 4 x 500m tempo - 100m all-out (200m walk rest) + 3 x 200m all-out (200m walk rest) + 15 minute easy run
pm 2: CrossFit: Warmup + 200 single skips + 90 air squats + 80 jumping jacks + 70 front lunges + 50 ring rows + 40 burpees + 30 wall balls + Cooldown

Wednesday
Off
Jets played Rangers.  Was feeling depressed from their loss on Monday.  This was the first game all season that I have not watched!

Thursday
pm 1:30 Minute easy run
pm 2: CrossFit  Warmup + 5 x 5 reps of overhead press + 3 x 60 seconds of pushups + Cooldown

Friday
15 minute easy run + 6 x 10 second hill sprints + 15 minute easy run
Still feeling depressed that Jets aren't going to make playoffs, so only watched the final period.  

Saturday
10 minute easy run + 6 x 10 second sprints + 6 x 30 second sprint + 30 seconds of thrusters (65LB) + 10 minute easy run
I had to cut this run short to watch Jets game.  Decided to jump back on the bandwagon when I realized jets are only 6 points out of the playoffs.  We'll they were officially eliminated after last nights loss.

Sunday
2hr05 steady run
Longest run this year.  Ran with a few guys.  I feel strong and injury free, just not feeling all that aerobically fit.
