My hip did amazing! It was slightly sore after the workout but nothing major and was gone after a few hours.<\/p>\n<p>YES! This means I&#8217;m making progress and can start doing longer runs on the weekends!<\/p>\n<p>Because I went to a later class I wasn&#8217;t able to get in any additional strength training that day.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tuesday:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Much better!

Perhaps I should have tried to bump that up a bit. \u00a0I&#8217;m happy with the workout and my results though. I thought for sure I would get gassed on all the squats but those are getting stronger and I&#8217;m able to do them for much longer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wednesday:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We worked on snatches today and I&#8217;m still plugging away at a lower weight on this one.

Not too shabby! I was worn out by the end!<\/p>\n<p>I did some light squats after the workout. \u00a0My legs and hips were so achey and tired that I could only do a few reps at 65lb before calling it quits. \u00a0My body just wasn&#8217;t having it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Thursday:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Partner workout today, not for time, just had to grind through.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Row 250M<\/li>\n<li>20 KB Front Rack Walking Lunges<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Then<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>20 Push Presses<\/li>\n<li>20 Bent Over Rows<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So one partner does one set and the other partner works the other set, then you switch. \u00a0In total, we had to do each set twice. \u00a0Weighted lunges are still very challenging for me. \u00a0I used 20lb kettle bells and still had trouble getting back up after lunging. \u00a0Someday I&#8217;ll be able to do weight lunges without even thinking about it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Friday:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>UGH. \u00a0I can&#8217;t even fully explain the workout because it was a crazy partner workout. \u00a0But it boils down to doing 90 reps of push presses at 50lbs and then rowing 2500m. \u00a0Yeah. \u00a0Coach told me to pick a pace and stick with it so I did just that. \u00a0I got through it, slowly, but I did it. \u00a0Wiped out.<\/p>\n<p>Over all this week was just alright. \u00a0I was feeling really run down and tired the early part of the week. \u00a0Wednesday I was a wreck and thankful I had the day off. \u00a0I was feeling like such <a href=\"http:\/\/foodembrace.com\/2016\/07\/mental-blocks-and-hangups\/\" target=\"_blank\">a slug this week<\/a>\u00a0and it was really starting to get to me mentally.<\/p>\n<p>Right now I&#8217;m happy the week is done, it was a long one!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Monday: Rough night of sleep Sunday evening lead me to playing catchup all day. \u00a0I slept late and hit the 9am class. \u00a0It was all running for the workout. \u00a0I was nervous about how my hip would hold up since this would be the longest run I&#8217;ve done in months. 400m Jog 300m Sprint 50m [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"status","meta":{"spay_email":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[58,52,51],"tags":[117,118],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p4KYWa-4u9","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17245"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17245"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17245\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17245"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17245"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17245"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
