Rest Week

Rest week is over.  I took a whole week off to rest the shoulder and the body.  I was mentally and physically exhausted.  I had grand plans to get a few long runs in and a few bikram yoga sessions, but I only succeeded in the latter.  The two yoga sessions I hit felt amazing and were really rejuvenating.

This week I will make a more concerted effort to hit the trail after work for a run--I have to! That half marathon is not going to run itself! :)

I did a few sets of pushups tonight and the shoulder felt great. I'm going to start back light, but as long as I can do pushups, burpees, and some light presses we should be back in business!

She's got Legs...

WOD:
4 rounds
400m run
50 air squats
Time: 17:00

This WOD looked like a piece of cake. Maybe it was, or would have been if my stinkin' legs weren't so sore. I was hoping to breeze right through this, but after round one I was fighing a charlie horse in my quad on the squats. I don't know why I'm having trouble with recovery. I haven't had a spring in my step since the triathlon. I'm trying my best to eat my protein and drink my H20, but the fatigue is always there.

Nonetheless, I sank my squats, gritted my teeth and got them done, and enjoyed the run. I'm thinking a long 6mile a.m. run is in the works in the next week or so if anyone wants to join me!
