Long Run on some new trails

trail run 1hr 9mins

body:quads sore
sleep:9.5hrs
nutrition: ok ice cream and oatmeal
notes: We did these new trails this week up on Keith Hill rd. They were pretty cool, different types from the ones near my house a lot more straight and a lot less turns. Still some good ups and downs mixed in. The first 20 mins of the run I felt pretty bad and then things surprising turned around for me and felt a lot better. I found the cruise control pace and just kept going. I didnt even use a goo and was pretty surprised about that. We went for 1hr and 9 mins. After the run had a nice meal and just relaxed will probably feel it in the morning with my calfs and achilles. Also my shoes ripped so I will be needing a pair of trail running shoes hopefully soon.

7rds for time
95lbs sdhp 10 reps
10 ring dips
9:30

body:biceps and quads sore
sleep:10.5hrs
nutrition: ....popeye's girlfriend.....
notes: today was a great day. workout was good really have been missing ring dips so I decided to do a wod with a good amount of them in it. Also went to the doctors today to see what I have. After describing my problems and a series of tests its been concluded that I have stress and anxiety. He said since its been getting better just to give it time and if it continues or gets worse to contact him back anytime and they can do some other stuff for me. So that makes me feel a lot better so hopefully is it down hill from here. Tomorrow is a long run day out on the trails <3.

Change of plans

Rest
30 min primal walk in vffs

Body:sore and worn down/sick
sleep:11hrs
nutrition:good
notes: A few changes here. Run wasn't happening woke up feeling shitty and the actually sick part finally hit me. I talked to the doctor and he told me to pretty much just rest and relax til I feel better. Also The paleo challenge is coming to an end because it is not right for me I have done my work to get to this point and now I need to eat for performance and not to be clean. I will still be clean as possible but I am not going strict. Other than that that is about it. Hopefully I can rest up and get back at it soon.

notes: im doing a long run tomorrow so I did not want to go heavy at all or metcon hard so I just stuff with this stuff and it hurt just as bad I would say. I missed my pr on situps by a good 10 seconds but thats expected since I havent been doing them at all. I plan on bringing more core stuff back as soon as I am off cfsb and on my own/bens programming style. Tomorrow I am doing a long relaxing run at tufts I will probably do 2 laps in the vffs and then switch over to my regular shoes and keep going. I don't want to hurt anything so I will just see how everything goes.
