last night i put alot of focus on my shoulders and arms. what a feeling having to peel off your shirt at the end of the workout but having a hard time because you cant lift your arms above your shoulders. hahaha. i looked like a baffoon in the locker room trying to shimmy out of my shirt.

I wish it was a break. I don't know what is wrong with me. I am taking it day by day. I want to be back to my 5 days a week fitness fun!
I'll get there again. If not I will become a fat ass and THAT will make me very unhappy.

5 days a week? who knew
 
digging up potatoes and turnip and pulling carrots amounts to my exercise today, I might and mean that might go on the bike later if it clears up but then again if it keeps raining I might just find my exercise follows the fridge to couch routine.
 
I did some training for 10k next week. Fairly new shoes that need to be molded to my feet before the race!
ran about 18km. dunno the time tho, but I felt very good and had constant energy throughout the run.
maybe the eph helped :D
 
On Wednesday biked 12 miles then rowed 10,000 metres; Thursday 15,800 metres; Today (Friday) as I have blisters all over my hands, just cycled 12 miles ;)

Nice!! What shoes? I'm getting some new Asics next week, in time for my half-marathon in 3 weeks time. I've always had Brooks but I've decided to go with Asics this time.

What time are you hoping to do the 10km race in?


I did 16km today and it felt like hell. It just fucking hurt ay. I hate how that happens sometimes! I had planned to do 18km but it just hurt too much so I turned back 1km earlier than my planned route. I'm desperately trying to think of what I did wrong...
17km last week felt awesome. It doesn't make sense!

Nike zoom streak 3 which are gonna replace my old beat-down lunaracers. I like lightweight shoes with minimium cushion and stability. I don't have pronation problems so these kind of shoes work for me.

I aim for under 40mins. I have ran 36min on track this season.

Yeah, I sometimes have that sorta thing also and I get angry and a loser coz I was "defeted" by the road:D. The problem is usually my right leg coz I had shin splits some time ago (wasn't that bad). The pain usually vanishes after few kilometers.



Today was a gym day for me. I did some olympics lifts ( still working on technique) for explosiveness and interval training on in-door cycle.

Yeah I get shin splints too, and like you said, the pain usually goes away after a few km. So annoying though. It's fine though, if I continue to do leg weights during the week and lots of stretching before and after running.
 
i hurt a lower back muscle yesterday moving pack after pack of the wooden floor slats we'll be replaciing the shitty carpet in our unit with. lower back pain freaks me out, i don't like it at all. :(

oh definitely. singlets are even worse! :D
 
Did some intervals on track, but I didnt feel so good. Now I just rest and do some recovering before the race (friday).

Maybe some high carb foods coz my body is prolly on ketose after high protein diet + workout routine.
 
^^ Yeah you need to make sure you're providing your body with enough fuel to do its job man. You know this though :)

Sounds like we're all not feeling too good at the moment!


IP, lower back pain is really debilitating. If you haven't already, get some voltaren tablets from the chemist, they work like a charm :)
