I'm back, it's resurrected!!!

So this blog has not been used for a long period of time, like a real long time. If your checking this blog out from a CF perspective, all of the previous posts are from when I was training specifically for mountain bike racing. As you can see my training is certainly different today, and my thoughts and guidelines regarding nutrition are now completely different. A lot has changed in a year.

So after being sick for the last 7 days, and being injured and taking about 3 weeks off I got back at it today. Another note is that I haven't really done any squatting movements in about 4 months. My knees have been screwed up and I really haven't been able to do much. I injured my back recently to, and I decided to go pick up an inversion table. I'd wanted one for a while, and with this nagging back injury I felt it'd be a good opportunity to get one. First off it helped my back considerably overnight. My back was much better after just a day, not healed, but certainly considerably better. What I'm more astonished about is that my knee pain has almost disappeared after getting this thing. Not sure if something was out of line or what the deal is, but my knees feel so much better in just a few days. I'm going to continue doing the other stuff I've been for my knees along with the inversion table in hopes that it heals me up.

So on to todays training...

50 Double-unders

Training went pretty well. Double-unders are getting a little better, but certainly not great. Deads felt pretty good, my back is feeling a bit aggravated right now though. Going to stretch a bunch tonight and see how it does. Met-con was rough. After not doing much in the last 3 weeks it was tough. My legs are definitely weak after not really squatting in 4 months. Push-ups were also rough, I did really clean push-ups, made the first set unbroken, but after that they were broken up. In the end, despite some weakness, it felt good to workout and get some good training in. Cheers.
