Saturday Run

 

Today it was just Kyle and I, and since he keeps sprinting every time we run I thought I’d teach him how to do metabolic running (high intensity for 2 minutes, low intensity for 1 minute, rinse and repeat) so he would learn to pace himself. Granted he almost died…again…we finished with a better time than last week (almost an hour flat). We can only go up from here!

Stick to your guns

            Overall the only thing new I’ve tried this week has been switching to Greek yogurt and upping all of my cardio with harder resistances and faster treadmill settings, which reminds me, if you want to work on your reflexes try running fast on a treadmill and stepping on the moving and stationary side stand simultaneously, if you don’t have ninja skills face planting will be part of your immediate future, as I learned…the hard way. I’ve lost nearly five pounds in one week and while I can’t pinpoint it precisely as to what caused it, thus far its pointing to the yogurt, which I only switched to because it has 5 more grams of protein in it and more casein, so my muscles I’ve attained will stick around a bit longer. It could also be the start of the Saturday runs, but we do that at a rather leisurely pace so I don’t think that’s the case. Either way, if I keep at this rate, ill actually hit 200 lbs. before the race, which I hate to admit, would most likely cause me to scream like a giddy schoolgirl who just received a my little pony.

Injury Update

My wrist is doing a lot better since I started using a stem machine (the machine that shoots electricity into you, Frankenstein style) on it. Having to prolong working on my pull ups this long though has put a severe dent in my fear of being able to finish the evil bars. I’ve had to go with the options of A) lose a lot of weight before the race as to compensate for not being able to pull my ass up or B) find a miracle doctor in the darkest trenches of a desert who will give me robot arms. Since I cannot afford a plane ticket to where said doctor is currently working on a master plan for world domination, I have to go with option A. Thats all I really have for this week.
