Moving on...Turns out my "free day" was a pain in the ass...literally. I'm sore! Try swimming 2000 m and running 7.whatever miles on a sore ass/quads and hammies...not to mention the odd ass planters I've been experiencing in my right foot.
Just to note that fifty percent of my following has given me much praise in recent nights about this blog. I was very touched...I will not name my eldest brother by name but he is one of 2 currently following me.
Seriously, down to business. I'm sore, the deads/bench/pullups wrecked me.
...Trying to think of where to start. Normal breakfast...so I packed a HUGE lunch, leftovers from dinner and fat sandwich for lunch (I need to read about nitrates because I've been eating a lot of them). Anyways I pack all this biz and Sik is having a BBQ and I go because some dudes want to have a semi send off lunch for a guy getting married soon. Lunch included a cheese burger, 3 hotdogs (people who know me...), tiny salad, potato salad and dranks. Anyways the BBQ is all you can eat so I eat just half of my "fat sandwich" and I figured the leftover dinner can be used as...well dinner.
WORK OUT!
I seriously spent too much of my day thinking about what I was going to do. The anxiety is seriously getting to me. So I revert to my default: swim/run.
Pre-workout meal: nothing...did you not read about lunch?
Workout:
- 50x40 (fifty meters by forty) swim...each 50 is two 25 meter lengths...I'm a little tips but just...a typical swimming pool is 25 meters long unless it's olympic size...which are hard to come by. Anyways anytime I talk about laps...I'm talking 50 meters which is two twenty five yard lengths. Sorry for the inconsistency in numbering mechanisms.
Transition meal:
- One banana in the car
- Why? See previous posts, sugar.
- At home I fire up a CA HI roll imported from Torrance CA with some dairy cream butter on top.
- Why? See previous posts, sugar and butter is delicious...I'm really digging butter now.
Workout:
- First off I'm getting irritated with Nike+ because they won't give me my damn elevation gain. They did before but now they changed up their junk...wtf? This weekend I will write angry things on their social media.
- Run: 7.6 miles (hills)
- I ran up east rock from the east side and then down the west side...
- It felt successful considering the soreness and foot pain in certain situations:
- I call it lazy feet, it takes care of all lower leg problems. Pretend you have no strength/power/feelings in your lower legs (so keep them relaxed) and run...deal with it. You actually don't run any slower, it's more efficient and it helps with your freaking foot/calf injuries.
- During distance running, your lower legs can be mainly utilized for stability, not power.
- Anyways, overall pace: 7'40"
- Not sure how I feel about that...but now that I have a blog I can elaborate later.
Post-workout meal:
- My leftovers from dinner...
- Game 2 of the finals were on so I drank quite a bit...
- Listen, I'm not giving up boozing, I've given up enough.
Recovery:
Lifting is pretty hard to recover from...you get tight, you get sore...blah blah blah. I've read lots of things, micro tears in muscles, oxidation, blah blah blah. Anyways I really do think antioxidants help. Increasing fruits and whatnot has helped my recovery...But honestly...swimming for some reason loosens me up! I hate swimming, it's freaking boring, I'm terrible at it and old AND fat people crush me at it. But after swimming I usually run well.
I can't give up the booze and lifting. I've been lifting since the tender age of 16, and I can actually feel comfortable say that I'm good at it. Booze? Why give up your social life.
I have no idea if I can workout tomorrow...I'm thinking biking :)
