Good news!  Headed back to Elon for a couple of days, so will be able to actually put some weight on the bar and squat something worth getting under!  The school weight room down there is fairly anti-Crossfit (they asked us to stop after one particularly rowdy Diane...) but they at least have a squat rack or two.  Then I get the true therapy heading to the Valley to work out with some of my favorite people ever.  All in all, should be a great day.  Except for the rounds of 400m run, 400m row Scott has us doing.  Pony up!

Got the shoulder work in this morning but today has been off in every imaginable way.  I had a little energy early afternoon right as a thunderstorm hit, so I couldn't run, which I had been planning on (fun little running WOD, 30 minutes easy pace with a full on sprint every 3 minutes) and by the time the storm passed, I was napping.  Only the one WOD today.  Had to ice for the first time in awhile, the left shoulder is tweaking again.  All in all, this is a boring post, but I'm determined to keep up with it.

Status:

• Body- Bad.  Hip flexors are so sore and tight that they feel a bit like spring loaded pistons.  Left shoulder is sensitive to most movement, and I can't press the fingers into the front of it.  The sound my right wrist is making would make Orville Redenbacher proud (gotta rotate that hand forward in my presses), and I'll probably need to go back to wrapping it for a while when doing anything overhead.
• Nutrition- Bad today, too.  I eat all the healthy stuff in the house too quickly, and then I just get so stinkin' hungry that I eat whatever I can get my hands...which amounted to two frozen pizzas this afternoon, back to back.  1400 instant calories, most of it useless.
• Sleep- Better tonight, but still leaving much to be desired.
• I'm going to be trying to get my shit back together and heal up leading up to and during the duration of my trip to Germany (15 days, leave on Wednesday).  Hopefully I can come back with my joints actually being friendly, well rested, and ready to hit the training hard.  Today's goal is to go ahead and start doing weekly programming.  I'm going to shoot for twoaday strength/metcons and either a lengthy, easy paced run, or a shorter, more intense run 3 times a week.  We'll see if my body can keep up with my head!

Thrust 'til you bust!
