Training Log: Entry 3505

AM WORKOUT (0355 wake up via alarm)

BRIDGE WEEK

Treadmill walk

Incline: 1

Speed: 3.5mph

Distance: 4.5 miles

Time: 1hr 17min

Notes:

* Foot and ankle continue to improve slowly but surely.  I tell myself that I can get in some sort of resistance training if I really want to, but turns out I don’t want to: I just want to walk.  Last night at Tang Soo Do, I noticed how NOT sore I was, and how much better I could move, so the fatigue dissipation is working out well for me.

* On the topic of Tang Soo Do, it was exciting last night.  We stood in the center of the ring with attackers on all sides, and the goal was to defend with whatever came to mind.  It was supposed to be no/light contact, but my Valkyrie got in the spirit of it and fired a straight punch right into my face and split my lip.  I was proud of her, but also counseled her on how you don’t want to throw a close fist at a mouth, since my teeth also opened up a small cut on her hand, and I know those cuts can get infected pretty quick.

* Also got in a 3 mile walk yesterday after dinner, with the family.  Just getting in a lot of good general activity.  

* Weighed in at 82.1kg this morning after the walk.  Dead on for weigh in. Still gonna keep food a little on the light side to give me the guarantee I need for Friday, but I’m in a good place.  I also re-examined the steak I have, and it’s a 36oz tomahawk rather than a 32oz, so that’s even cooler.

* I’ve got a few ideas swirling around for my next training plan after the competition.  One of the ideas I have is to do the bodyweight portion of Murph as my assistance work one day a week.  With Zulu, I should have more time for those kinds of workouts.  And I can make it like the Crossfit WOD Cindy (20 rounds of 5 chins, 10 push ups and 15 squats) to keep it simple enough.  I’m thinking it’s a good year to do Murph on Memorial Day, so that would get me in a good place for it.  But, of course, Chaos is the plan.
