Today...

As you can see...Bradley was a beast and the cold didn't help.
Supposed to be resting my right knee, 100 burpees and 2,000m run didn't do much good.

I iced when I got home, then drank an icy shake, then took an ice cold shower...I'm cold.


CFE swim
6x 200y on 4'
First was was 3:32, then 3:39, 3:45, 3:35, 3:39, 3:48
Decent swim. Focused on 14-15 strokes per length.

Cold shower after swim.

Menu:
post WOD blueberry shake
dinner - large salad, cooked veggies, wild rice, salmon
snack - bananas, mangos, Ezekial burritos
basically same day as yesterday...

"Bradley"

Yesterday...

Tuesday, November 29

CF rest day...pretty sore from yesterday, hands need a day to heal up

Was going to do CFE bike inside (intervals are much better to do inside where the environment is more controlled), but my indoor trainer shed a vital part during transport last week...so I did:

6x1K on 2' rest
Each interval took about 1:35-1:40
HR only averaged 131 due to the turns in the road I had to make each phase...rode around neighborhood.

Not a great workout, but better than nothing I guess.

Here was my menu from yesterday:
blueberry shake after WOD
dinner was large salad, cooked veggies, wild rice and steamed salmon
snack was frozen bananas/mangos, 2 ezekial burritos

Yesterday...

Monday, November 28

Ran 8 miles
HR averaged 151
Time: 57:32
Feel great except for right patella. Going to ice and rest it for the rest of the week. Half marathon is this weekend. Would have finished with sub-7 min pace but had to stop and "unload" about the 4.5 mile mark...per usual.

CF
Death by HSPU/Pullups
continuously running clock, each minute add 1 HSPU and 1 pullup. I got to the 10th minute and only did 5 HSPU, but continued the pullups until 19th minute. Did 18 rounds with 14 pulls.
Think that makes my score 27 (9+18). Right index and pinky fingers had small tears. Tough...

Menu:
blueberry shake after run
dinner was large salad, cooked veggies, egg/oatmeal "pancake"
Snack was Ezekial burrito, mangos/bananas, oatmeal
1,500 calories.

Didn't go crazy on food but didn't track it tonight. Big salad, cooked veggies, eggs, chips/salsa, granola bars, fruit, biscuits/honey...felt like I needed the calories.
Worked at farm today (fed cows) and played outside with cousins in Lometa.

Good eating day. Thanksgiving week will not deter me. I've gained some LBs. Goal is 28 straight prescribed "good" eating days, which means I eat good (Warrior Diet) six days then have a "loose" Sunday. Only animal products I'm eating now are the eggs we get from the farm north of town.

Still no dairy (except cheese on Sunday if we have pizza), and very little wheat.

Monday, November 21

Jenn's birthday.
Sick. Sinus infection. No doubt because of all the crap I've eaten the last three days. Body has no fuel to fight anything. Started feeling it in my throat Saturday night. Could hardly sleep my throat hurt so bad.

Cold and rainy today. Ended up getting in a CFE run before birthday dinner.

Thurdays sequence for time

Yesterday I got to the end of box jumps in 6ish minutes, I went faster this morning through the beginning reps, started stopwatch after box jumps and added 6' to the end.

Didn't get my swim in. Jenn was out of town, I was home with girls.

Terrible eating day...

Saturday, November 19


Ran 12 miles in the afternoon in 1:24:55, HR averaged 153. Great run. No pain.
Another terrible eating day. Loogi burrito night...long story.

Sunday, November 20


rest day...not my typical number of calories on Sunday. Took it easy. Look and feel bloated. Need to buckle down.

9 workouts on the week...

Tuesday, November 15, 2011

Today...

CF Midland
warmup (pictured above) brutal

then...
3 rounds of:
10-8-6
135# power clean
gorilla pull ups (strict with hands close together)
So a total of 72 cleans and 72 pullups
Did it in 22:22, pretty brutal but feel good.


Left calf felt weird during 400m warm up run. REALLY tight.

Ran 10 miles this afternoon.
1:13:24
HR averaged 158.
Hips never started hurting. Focused on taking short, fast steps...staying out of hips. And keeping feet from running too close on the same line...feet separated on each step. Calf felt tight but that was the least of my worries. Basically ran the same time as last week in Lubbock and had no weird pain...good sign.

Another good eating day. Jason's Deli for dinner.
Snacks from Natural Grocers, but tracked everything.
Probably burned 3,500 cals today with that 10 miler.

Total cals was 1,847
14% protein
65% carb
21% fat

Goal is to hit 24 of next 28 days as "good" eating days. So far...two for two.

Monday, 11/14

Indoor trainer this morning.

CFE Long Intervals
5x 5' effort with 3' recovery.
HR averaged 140. Put bike on biggest gear and rode as hard as I could...trying to work off the weekend of food.
Last night I had pizza, muffins, carob cubes, carob almonds, bean burritos....almost puked.

CF rest day.

1,312 calories today.
17% protein
61% carb
22% fat

good day.

Weekend

Saturday 11/12 and Sunday 11/13

Planned on running 10 when I got to G'town this afternoon, but we got off late and I forgot my suit so I had to go buy an outfit for the wedding. Decided to take a rest day and workout tomorrow, do my long run in Midland next week.

Made it back home at end of Cowboys game on Sunday.

CF WOD was 12' AMRAP:
6 x double squat burpee
6 x HSPU
hated that. Did 8 rounds.

Had two more "bad" eating days. That makes 9 of the last 10 since I hit 175.0 last Friday. I've probably gained five stinking pounds this week. Idiot.

Friday, November 11, 2011

Today...

RPM this morning...
Woke at 4:15 AM. Moved 30 bikes into fitness room. No one showed up. I decided to go ahead and get a workout in since I was already up there...rode on stage by myself.

Total time was 46:45
HR averaged 141 (started watch after warmup)
Did tracks 1,2,3,4, then 2 track 5s and 2 track 7s

Swam at lunch
10 x 100 on 2:00
First one was 1:41, the next few were 1:43, then kept them right around 1:46 the rest of the time...focused on stroke count per length which I tried to keep around 14/15.

Played basketball for 1.5 hours after swim.
Went and saw Dr. Nick this morning...I wasn't as out of alignment as usual...think it's the way I've been crossing my legs...seriously.
Left hip felt a little funny while playing hoops...hope it's nothing.

Menu:
blueberry milkshake (hemp protein, flax, blueberries, almond milk, water, ice). Had 1/2 after RPM and 1/2 after swim and hoops.
Large salad, cooked veggies, eggs/oatmeal
organic bean burrito and frozen bananas for snack

5x
7 Muscle ups

Was going to swim tonight but decided to wait until tomorrow.

Eating wasn't great tonight. Had a bag of blueberries on the way home. Large salad, cooked veggies, Nikki's, sweet potato chips, dates...bad eating week.

Wednesday, November 9, 2011

Today...

Warrior WOD at Hub City Cross Fit this morning...

20' AMRAP

Hips feeling weird. Pretty windy.

Recording my food today...so hopefully I won't have a fat day. Hoping to be <175.0 on Friday/Saturday.
Ate right around 3,200 cals (which is probably how much I burned today).
Jason's Deli, then burritos then United (mangos, cashews, carob almonds)...yummy.

Tuesday, November 8

1000m row
50 thrusters with 45#

Still sore from Thursday...

Monday, November 7, 2011

Weekend

Didn't do jack because I was so incredibly sore. I could barely sit and stand. Acute pain from knee to hip (in muscle) to the touch...crazy miserable sore.
Note to self: don't do a WOD that's going to sideline you for an entire weekend because then you can't workout during the weekend. I was supposed to run 10 Saturday. Gonna have to do that on Tuesday.

Probably for the best...Jenn was sick this weekend anyway.

Menu:
Ezekial tortillas and Bearitos on Saturday night. Then some big, incredible baked pretzels.
Terrible heartburn all day Sunday.
Some chip pieces around lunch time. Then had some carob almonds, carob cubes, dried mangos, an Amy's Organic spinach pizza, Nana's sugarless cookie, 3 LARA bars, most of the Subway pizza I got Jenn for dinner. Less food than I normally eat on Sunday but had horrible heartburn from Saturday night.

Friday, November 4, 2011

Today...

I don't think my legs have ever been this sore. I can barely walk because of Manion yesterday. Miserable.
Weighed 175.0 before FFN tonight...awesome!!

RPM this morning
40'
HR averaged 142
Started watch after Track 1 (warm up)

Menu:
Blueberry shake after RPM (blueberries, ground flax, almond milk, coconut milk, water/ice
Dinner was large salad, cooked veggies, egg omelet
Snack was bean burritos (2), bananas, blueberries

Thursday, November 3, 2011

Today...

Woke at 5:40 AM
WEIGHED 175.4 RIGHT BEFORE DINNER!!!
Lowest I've been all year.
Keeping detailed caloric intake records ALWAYS seems to work.

"Manion"
7 rounds:
400m run
135# back squat x 29
41' even

Easily one of the top 5 toughest WODs I've ever done. Felt like I was going to faint a dozen times. Ran on the treadmill cuz it was so dang cold this morning.
First 4 sets I did 20 squats, then 9...last three I broke them up into 3 sets.
It's about 1:40 PM and my left hand is just now getting all the feeling back into it. Think I messed up a nerve in my neck or something doing that many squats. 203 reps to be exact.  Ouch.

CFE - Short Interval Swim
4x (3x75) where 1=80%, 2=90%, 3=100%
90" RBI
All sets ranged from 1:10-1:17 depending on percentage of exertion. Kicked 25y between each rep.

Menu:
Blueberry shake post workout for both workouts.
Dinner was large salad, cooked veggies (in organic pizza sauce - made kind of a stew), 3-egg omelet, and a wheat roll
Snack was tortilla and refried beans, banana and blueberries
