Back to life, back to reality

Gosh it’s tough to get back to a routine after a two-week holiday.All week I felt like I have been going through the emotions. On the fitness side I had my butt kicked at crossfit everyday (save for Monday) this week. I figure I might as well go strong after my two-week hiatus.

 
Feels good to be back to the gym and to see the regulars at the box. Not sure why Trina is making that face after Friday’s long EMOM WOD.
 
The downside? I may have ripped my hands this morning. Your grip tends to suffer when you are away from the bar for a good while. I didn’t enjoy the lunges either after doing lunges as a cashout on Monday. (I may have cheater a bit because one leg is stronger than the other.)

 

I ran on Tuesday. My legs felt heavy and I blame the self-imposed lunges earlier in the day. What the heck was I thinking? It always takes my body at least two days to recover from the weighted lunges. It sucks yet my butt welcomes the attention.

In less than a month, I will run my second and my last race this year. I running  Bill’s Trail Run in Lacombe. I  hope I can pull 10 miles out of my butt without too much hurt. Registration is still open so you still have to sign up if you are on the fence.

I am super excited about the race. It’s been so long since I’ve seen a starting line. My right leg is feeling so so and my foot seems to be benefiting from the rest. I’ll be taking it easy as I put some miles under my feet.

I know the course pretty well so I am not too concerned about the elevation or anything. It should be a sweet race. Now cross your fingers it does not snow!

  1. Good to get away, and be back for me too. You also just reminded me of a favourite song by Soul II Soul.

    1. Ha ha you got my headline 🙂 What's funny is I just found an old Soul II Soul tape. Loved them!
