Well, what can I say? More songs about weights and running, including my second full session of MINT (Medium-Intensity Non-interval Training). Or is it MIC (Medium-Intensity Conditioning)?
Box jumps starting to come into their own, as well as the med ball tosses. Brought my clubs too, as I've always had trouble getting to my clubbell exercises during my st workouts, so I'm going to try to make them part of my MINT as well. So good for the shoulders and wrists. Between each MIC set I swear at my windedness, "frick!" So good.
Did overhead squats again two days ago, wow, I really felt it in my abs and obliques the next day. Great 'core strength and stability' exercise. My split squats stink, but the full back squats keep getting better. Left shoulder feeling just about healed. Will test it later in my Back/Front ST session. I'm tired of holding back.
Yesterday hill running. Oh yeah. I have a love/hate relationship with hill repeats and hill sprints. Yesterday she hit me just right. Feet got surprisingly numb considering temps were in the 40s. Damn windchill.
1 mile and some walking on Tuesday night. And that should be it for me until the New years. Got grounded by my doctor, my foot got sore again so to my doctor I went today. According to the xrays that were taken 3 weeks ago there was no sign of a fracture but there was a bone chip in my ankle that looked as if it had been there for a while and the verdict at that time was a peroneus tendon tear. My foot was still swelling at night and the discomfort was in a pin point location on my foot. So today more xrays and my gp told me no running for 6 weeks as he also believes it is ligament or a tendon tear as well.
Also found he is not very barefoot friendly, as a matter of fact he seemed a little ticked that I would even contemplate running barefoot. So, off to the pool I go and see if I can still swim and if I can turn into a fish like some members here.
Man, bummer Dutchie, but it's good to hear you now know what's been bothering you all this time. Hope you heal up soon! Canada needs you. Meanwhile, we got another fish on our hands.
Gotta bunch of new Icebreaker Merino wool gear by the way. Thanks again for your rec. The Tracer Pants feel like pajamas, they're sooooo comfy. I hope I'm not too tempted to lay down and go back to sleep on tomorrow morning's long run. And the Legend jacket is so good looking, my wife wants me to wear it when we go out. Even got Merino wool boxers now. Bring it on Old Man Winter, hit me with your best shot!
Hey everyone, I should mention that Icebreaker gives you a 20% discount on your initial order, and they have a "freedom to try" policy, which means you can order and return as much gear as you like, with no shipping costs. Pretty sweet.
