Notes: Another press day without blacking out, so that's a victory.  I noticed the misload as I was pressing, but didn't know if it was just something in my head.  Once I racked it and checked, it made things a little better, because it was such a lackluster performance.  The WM set afterwards had some redemption to it.  Had a decent pump after everything was all said and done.  Plan is to get in axle grace a little later, and then maybe a run.  Weather is supposed to turn soon, so if I don't get one in now it'll be a while until I can again, but I'm also not too torn up about that.

AM WORKOUT PART II (1000)

Axle grace

3:50 (9 second PR from previous)

LUNCHTIME WORKOUT

5 mile run

Notes: Great to see Grace continue to improve. Part of it is proficiency, but part of it is also conditioning.  I'm training it fast enough that it really sucks when it's over.  The run was at a leisurely pace: used my trick of breathing through my nose the whole time to ensure I wasn't pushing myself too hard.  Have deadlifts tomorrow and can't afford to burn out on it.

On the nutrition front, slowly introducing more fats and extra snacks into the daily diet.  Baby steps.  It's taking way more rationalization than it should to get me to do these things, but I'm hoping it's all progress none-the-less.
