31112 - life guard training. 180.5. #267 (Sunday) Slept most of the day, coughed myself to sleep over and over. Life guard training was pretty good. Not much pool work, but I did feel stronger. Need to practice treading and brick. No coughing or runny nose in the pool. 4 quick lengths to warm up, from going 24 laps to 4, then I get uptight. Can I run, lift, teach and work tomorrow??
31212: (Monday) 181: #268 ... Crazy battle with this virus thru the night, I suppose I’ve gotten used to strange sleep patterns, finally rested in silence. Woke from a dream where someone called to me (wake up..) “Mad Dog” I think I’ll name the virus “Mad Dog” ha ha.. Off to the Y Monday lift therapy, double legs & back, upper back, chest, shoulders, then B&G, maybe have some time for arms??
Felt I was @ 90% strength and energy, then 80% but I move more wt than usual.
Squats: progressed from 135 – 245 keeping the form deep. Last set was only 2 reps. (free squats)
Leg Press (inverted) + Calf raises, progressed to 455 (over load)
BB shrug, rear grip, progressed to 265 – keep the bar off the thighs.
Wide grip pull ups + close grip T-bar row.
Military press – prog from 15s to 22.5s – ready to press 25s for 3 sets.
Cable cross (lo-hi) + bent flies (40s)
Seems it took longer than I’d planned, but I had some convo, and took longer breaks to compensate for Mad Dog and heavier lifts.)
G&B Good session – I thought it was easier than the class did.
31312 (Tuesday) #269 Work, AM: Once again I’m sitting here nursing the Achilles tendon & when I try to look at it I catch a cramp in my inner thigh. Probably won’t get to suspension tonight, want to stay off the foot, usually 2 days of healing, UGH! Will I be able to do that run? Plus my freekin’ knee inside boney hurts on contact, as if it’s bruised.
If I note there’s been no coughing @ work will I take a coughing fit?
4:09AM – Will I cough when I get to sleep?
31312 PM: Wake up 181 – Woke at alarm, fewer coughing fits, coughing is more prevalent horizontally. Feels like Mad Dog is breaking up.
Meanwhile – rt ankle sore, swollen, iced b4 bed and post wake up, heat treated and wrapped, oh yeah 72 degrees out. How does this weather affect Mad Dog, stronger or weaker?
ZAP was more intense than I thought, maybe over compensating for sick and sore, returned tired and hungry to café.. Great salmon dinner.
31412- AM work: (Wednesday) #270 Lite suspension training, short angles, like lifting small wts. Feeling tired – lower coughing – nose started running after popping a Halls!?! Iced the ankle – will probably do that for a few more times today. It’s (rt ankle) visibly swollen and looks sore. Sore to touch too.
DRINK MORE WATER!!
While sipping green pomegranate tea I felt a surge of happiness – it was nice, first time so maybe it isn’t the tea but a comb of things…
PM- 31412 182 – Mad Dog’s weakening. This actually may have been a compound of incidents. Slept well, sweated out some. Some coughing fits at sleep. Achilles is better, still a limp, no chance to ice, AM or PM, thus far.
To Temple for Aqua Box NRG is ok, got this swimming with the brick challenge hangin over me. I don’t remember any soreness after suspension training.
31512 – AM Work – (Thursday) #271 Runny nose, sneezing, Mad Dog’s weakening, suspension training but kind of weak.
182 steady, three days str8 – is this b/c of the cold? Functional Fitness at the Y, pretty good, took it easy on “us” ha ha.
31612 – 182 (Friday) – #272 up early and back to sleep knee snapped back into place, but I didn’t know it was out, thought it hurt b/c it was compensating for the ankle, which is still sore and still wrapped.
NYC – walked around Manhattan, dark & stormies with Mr. Smith, Hiroko and Kaylen, some random peeps at Commonwealth.
31712 (Saturday) #273: Brooklyn chillin’ with spring on the way maybe I should come up with more body conditioning morning routines, ankle seems better, but haven’t walked on it yet. Knee hurts to touch, probably should have that checked. Can legitimately make primary care phys appts now. I am behind on BSR training due to ankle. GRR, flat surface training, no hills, maybe treadmill.
