Training Log: Entry 3557

AM WORKOUT (0355 wake up via alarm)

*Tactical Barbell Operator* Cycle 2, Week 2, Workout 4

"GO RUCK YOURSELF"

Treadmill walk w/45lb vest

Incline: 5.0

Speed: 3.5mph

Distance: 5.25 miles

Time: 90 minutes

Notes:

* This continues to be the biggest favor I do myself each week.  Woke up stiff and sore, finished off feeling good.  Breathed through my nose the entire time and kept the intensity at the right spot.  Still humid as hell, so lots of sweating.

* I've pretty much eliminated the daily chins from Operation Planet Mongo, just getting in the work on my lifting days.  Been keeping the daily sandbag carries though, as they're playing toward my strongman competition.  Balancing act continues to go well, keeping my body held together.  

* Didn't try to set the world on fire with this workout.  I haven't walked an incline since Mount Vesuvius, and that was more challenging than this, so it's good I've stayed in shape.  Next week is the easy week, and I can evaluate from there.  The fascia in my left foot finally healed from my 10 mile run, but I could feel it getting agitated from this workout, so I know to be smart here.

* Weighed in at 80.3kg post workout: a 2 kilo drop from Monday, and right back to where I was pre-cruise.  This gives me a good buffer for the upcoming 4th of July holiday, with my parents coming to visit, so I intend to do some eating and celebrating.  

* Another night of sparring tonight.  Last night was a bit more active.  Valkyrie and I were paired together in the first round, so that's as far as I went, but the class was small, the tournament ended quickly, and I got in some extra rounds afterwards.
