Training Log: Entry 2390

Got in my daily stuff this morning: 28 GHRs, 30 band pull aparts, and this time did 50 chins in 3 sets (34 NG, 10 wide grip NG, 6 close grip NG).  My right shoulder has been clicking on chins for a few weeks now.  No pain, but just another data point.  Otherwise, I promised myself that this morning I'd allow myself to just sit on the couch, eat my yogurt, drink my energy drink, and ease into the day.  I've been feeling pretty beat to hell, and I imagine that my training is outpacing my nutrition.  I'm just excited to be able to train hard again, but I gotta be smart-ish about it.  I'll be carbing up tomorrow, which will be good.  Running with the Mrs later today.  Left calf is still acting up, so we both agreed that, if need be, we'll take it slow, and even transition to a walk instead of a run.  Race is coming up on 1 Nov and I haven't trained for it nearly as well as I did the first one.

On that subject, I leave on a business trip soon.  I'm totally being "that guy" and packign a suitcase full of bodybuilder food: packets of tuna and riced cauilflower, no sugar beef jerky, canned chicken/tuna, various nuts, and quest bars.  People like to eat out for every meal at these things, and it gets expensive and stupid.  I anticipate losing some weight as a result, which will give me more room to rebound.  Will do my best to hit the gym, but it's why I've been cramming in so much lifting.  Otherwise, I'll have opportunities to train my run.  I don't intend to hop on a treadmill, and will just log in some miles.

Another morning of mixed powdered PB and protein in the yogurt.  The chocolate and PB combo isn't quite a Reece's cup, but it's not bad.  I bet I could work some magic with some steevia and cocoa powder if I was so inclined.

PM WORKOUT

PM WORKOUT

5.3 mile run and 1.2 mile walk

Notes: The smoke from the CA fires has reached us and made outdoor breathing a little sucky.  I'm not moving fast on these outside runs, but I'm also not feeling out of breath doing them.  My body doesn't like the running, but I'm confident I can gut out the race, and I have time to prep for it from there.

 I got a sweet swag package from biotest

I may pack those finibars for my work trip and make them something I eat as my pre-training meal on high carb days.
