I woke up not feeling 100% in the morning. \u00a0I was debating about going to the gym the entire time I was taking care of the dogs\u00a0because I hate missing workouts but my stomach also felt like junk. \u00a0I was putting on my gym clothes and I felt like, yeah this probably isn&#8217;t going to be a good idea. \u00a0I wouldn&#8217;t be able to have full energy and give it my all today\u00a0so instead I stayed home. Meh.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tuesday:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Feeling so much better. I know what my issue was yesterday and now I&#8217;m wrestling with sharing that or not. \u00a0It could be seen as TMI. \u00a0Hrm.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway I was able to workout. \u00a0I ran a mile before going to class. \u00a0I did a walk run combo to see if that helped my shins at all. \u00a0It did, they only got slightly sore during the run and didn&#8217;t fully cramp up. \u00a0My friend, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fakefoodfree.com\">Lori<\/a>, suggested that I might have tight calves so I&#8217;ve been working on stretching and rolling them with a foam roller.<\/p>\n<p>Workout today was AMRAP for 20:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>5 Clean and Jerks<\/li>\n<li>10 Toes to Bar<\/li>\n<li>1min Rest<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We were supposed to go heavy-ish on the clean and jerks but I&#8217;m still battling shoulder issues and unfortunately can&#8217;t go very heavy. \u00a0I did mine at 50lbs today and even by the end my shoulder was getting very sore and tired.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m thinking about purchasing a pull-up bar so I can work on pull-ups and toes to bar at home.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wednesday:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Started off with a mile run\/walk with Kira. \u00a0My shins did not bother me at all today! Perhaps it&#8217;s because I&#8217;ve been rolling them out? I&#8217;m going to stick with that and see if it continues to help.<\/p>\n<p>The workout today was rough and thanks to holiday indulging, my energy has been so low.<\/p>\n<p>It was a 25 min AMRAP<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>25 Empty Bar Thrusters<\/li>\n<li>25 Burpees<\/li>\n<li>25 EB Sumo Deadlift Highpulls<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Ughhhhhh I got in 3 rounds + 10 but it was slow going. \u00a0Well my burpees are super slow and thrusters, even with an empty bar just kill me. \u00a0My legs and arms were shaking at the end.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m trying to not let this frustrate me because I did it to myself. \u00a0That&#8217;s what happens when I indulge and don&#8217;t get enough sleep. \u00a0With running, I was able to get away with it a little more but with weights? Nope. You have to eat well or you&#8217;ll do poorly in the gym.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Thursday:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It was so chilly and breezy but I still did a 1mile run with my running buddy. \u00a0Rolling out my calves has helped so much! I ran three days in a row this week without any shin issues. \u00a0Hooray! I&#8217;m going to continue to focus on stretching and rolling out those calves so that I can get back to running.<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday our coach said that we&#8217;ll be doing a fun holiday workout on Thanksgiving morning. \u00a0Yeah, I think that&#8217;s code for challenging and long because this workout was not fun.<\/p>\n<p>Hero workout Vito:\u00a033 each of:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Chest to bar pull-ups<\/li>\n<li>Hand release push-ups<\/li>\n<li>Jumping lunges<\/li>\n<li>Toes to bar<\/li>\n<li>Sumo Deadlift Highpulls<\/li>\n<li>Wall balls<\/li>\n<li>Lateral burpees (over a plate)<\/li>\n<li>Abmat sit-ups<\/li>\n<li>Plyo push-ups<\/li>\n<li>Box jumps<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We were able to do this workout in any order we wanted, we just had to do a full 33 reps of the move before moving on to the next move. \u00a0I got all the stuff I hate out of the way first like burpees. \u00a0They take me forever to do and I hate them.<\/p>\n<p>I was the first in class to finish which never happens and I had a brief panic attack thinking that I didn&#8217;t complete the whole thing. \u00a0I did because I went back over my list and made sure, but WHEW for a second there I thought I did something wrong. Some stuff was modified, like I can&#8217;t do chest to bar so I did banded pullups. \u00a0I also can&#8217;t do toes-to-bar yet so I raised my knees as high as I could.<\/p>\n<p>It was nice to get in exercise before getting ready for the big day!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Friday:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Rest day. \u00a0That&#8217;s two this week which is not what I&#8217;m shooting for but life happens. \u00a0I went in thinking that I was going to take Friday off because I knew I&#8217;d be tired and I also wanted a quiet morning to myself. \u00a0Maybe that sounds silly but sometimes I need to have a morning alone to regroup and get centered.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Summary:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Lots of grandma moments but also progress with running and I&#8217;m choosing to focus on that more. \u00a0Yeah, I would like to get past feeling tired and sore all the time but I&#8217;ll get there. \u00a0Right now, I&#8217;m going to be happy with the fact that I can run multiple days in a row without shin issues! Also, if you have any recs for a pullup bar at home please let me know!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Monday: Rest day.
