I am going to keep the heavy stuff down for a bit longer then retest to see how it feels after it has something to do with the muscles in my neck if i strain them or not i know that for sure. Got an internship today at westborough high for the winter time so hopefully they have a good gym that I could possibly use.

mobility wod

Body:legs a bit tired all around

nutrition: not to bad considering it was thanksgiving I had large piece of pumpkin pie and a lemon lush square
Notes: I decided that I wanted to do a killer thanksgiving wod to keep the tradition of good wods on holidays. It went really well, i partioned it as follows...First half I did cindy style so 10 rds of 5 pull ups 10 push ups 15 squats.....the second half I did 5rds of 10 pull ups 20 pus ups 30 squats and that seemed to be a little faster than the cindy style one. All in all a really good wod and will be feeling it tomorrow for sure. The mobility wod I did today was a shoulder one using a band and it really felt good and I could feel a huge difference. Tomorrow I am thinking of wodding again depending on the sleep I get tonight and how the body feels.

It was not much different this time around as painful as I remembered and maybe a little more. I killed it though. I got the blood work results back today and everything was normal except my Vit D is low so I will be taking some Vit D supplements 2000 units a day until it gets back up to normal. Going to do work on food tomorrow at Thanksgiving and I am going to hit another killer wod first. No mobility wod today so I will be doing 2 tomorrow.

Trail Run

1hr 12min trail run

Mobility wod

Body:quads a bit sore
sleep:6hrs
nutrition:good besides oatmeal for recovery
notes: woke up at 4:30am to run. Not my favorite run I was in pain and kicked a bunch of rocks so I just wanted it to end. I am going to crossfit for the rest of the week I need a break from runs for the rest of the week. Went to the doctors today and got blood work done so I will be waiting on results from that.

Wod

10 rds for time
10 pull ups
10 ring dips
10 sit ups
10 squats
14:02

Mobility wod

Body:hip flexors still sore
sleep:9hrs
nutrition:good
notes: still taking it kind of easy to get my head back into it. It only hurt a bit during the workout so I think It is slowly getting better which is good. I have a doctors appointment tomorrow to do blood work and make sure everything is ok. The wod was a good one I did everything unbroken but the ring dips which was expected. I think I could have done it faster if I wasnt so worried about my head. I also did the mobility wod for yesterday again today I am going to keep at that because I can tell that it is going to help with injury and plateauing.

4 count flutter kicks
crossfit push ups
12:03

Body:hamstrings sore, head problems
sleep;10hrs
nutrition:good
notes: ok so yesterday this pounding pain started in my head during the OH squats and it continued today so i had to stop lynne. It happens when I do something high intensity with some resistance and it is behind my ear more central and just pounds on both sides to the point were I have to stop and then it will go away but If i try to start again it hurts again. Not sure what the hell it could be but it doesnt hurt to bad when I run so I guess I will be doing more running until It goes away. I have a doctors appointment tuesday too.

11/18/2010

back squat 5-5-5
270-275-280pr

21-15-9
OH squats 95lbs
burpees
7:51

Body: lower back glutes and hamstrings sore
sleep:10hrs
nutrition:They had pumpkin pie at dinner couldnt pass it up
notes: I think that is a 5rep pr on the squats not positive though. The wod went ok I would of got a better time but for some reason I got a pounding pressure headache when I help the OH squats for to long in the back of my head. I think it has to do with my range of motion and flexibility and I am not flexible enough in my shoulders to do them yet so I will be working on that flexibility a lot more.

broad jump 100m
run 200m
12:04

Body: back already is sore so are calfs from all those broad jumps
sleep:9hrs
nutrition:good had some milk and cheese again
notes: I woke up feeling pretty rested today so I decided to go decently hard. The deadlifts raped my back and I will be feeling them for a few days atleast seeing how I can already feel some pain and DOMS hasnt set in yet. This wod is a really good one I remember I was dying last time I did it and it did not disappoint once again I ended up laying on the turf for a good 5 mins until I could stand up straight again. I did it barefoot as well. Tomorrow I will be doing squats and then a really good wod. My diet has been pretty consistent mostly paleo with milk and cheese sometimes and I think that has to do with me recovering pretty fast so I am going to keep having a glass at each meal.

My knees and ankles were a little achy but the strength to those areas will come in time. This run really proved to me that I could do the 50k in Jan. so I am pumped about that.

sleep:8hrs
nutrition:not to bad but had some ice cream and cheese on my salad
notes: today was a solid day training wise. I really need to work on my snatch its probably one of my lowest lifts compared to what it should be. The wod was a really good one liked it a lot would have had a better time on it too if I didnt fuck up on the double unders as much as i did. Today I decided that I am running a 50k course on Jan. 9th which is 2 months from today so i got some big time training to do. really looking foward to it though should be a blast.
