Resting sore stuff

Thanks Rudy for the big toe article. That is how I jammed my toe so I'm almost sure that's what's wrong with it. I still have flexibility though and not a lot of pain regularly... only soreness when I run/jump. I think it's improving but it's not quite there.
On top of that, I think my body is punishing me for eating badly lately... neck is stiff, groin still tender, and right knee is stiff and clicky. As a result, I have decided to bail on FGB this weekend since I don't want to risk further injury of my toe or start any other injuries resulting from these sore spots.

Monday:
Tabata row: max: 87, min: 84 (84/87/87/86/85/84/84/84 = 681m)

8/3 tabata (post wod): max: 84, min: 78 (84-84-83-79-79-78-78-80)
3/23 tabata:
Round 1: 84/83/82/80/80/80/80/80 = 649m
Round 2: 81/81/80/78/78/77/79/80 = 632m

Wednesday:
4x500m: 2:05.4 (damper 7)/2:07.0 (damper 7)/2:19.6 (damper 6)/2:16.7 (damper 5)

Ew... what are those last two sets all about :(

Sigh... that's it from me this week

Wednesday's WOD
Metcon (double purple for strict pullups): 5:40
Trip ups in the 50 round of DUs, tripped at 37 on the 40 round, the rest unbroken! Could have used "less band" given my time but when I tested out just one purple pre-wod, I wasn't sure I could make it. Mixed grips through the 8 round, underhand for the rest... no fails.

Post: 5x200m (3min rest): 47.3, 45.5, 46.5, 47.0, 46.6
My butt hurt after this :(

Was planning on getting another WOD in today but apparently, I pulled my left groin from running last week and during the warm up yesterday. I am not quite sure what is wrong with it but it was painful enough to stop running. Acts up anytime I try to propel myself forward (walking fast included) so it needs rest. On top of that, I am about 90% sure I fractured my big toe about 2 months ago playing tennis. Bruising under big toe nail doesn't appear to have improved and after last night's DUs, it's definitely not 100%. It's time to bite the bullet and lay off it... no running/jumping/etc... though right now, I am still planning on doing FGB...

8/30-9/4

Tuesday: 8 x 1:00/1:00r on C2: 237-240-239-240-240-240-241-243
Average pace was 2:05/500m at 32s/m. Looks like I paced a bit too much in the first round.

Wednesday's WOD
Metcon rx’ed: 18:18
First round of PUs were 10/5. Then some 5s in the second and third rounds but mostly singles. Fourth and fifth round runs were slow but tried to pose throughout and it felt okay. Popped blood blister about 3 PUs in the last round and tore hand another 2 PUs later. Last 10 PUs probably took 2 minutes... ugh. Thanks to Karen for suggesting deadhangs!

Friday's WOD
PC&J Int: 1×103# and then 2×93# to work on dip and jerk stance.
Smaller and more upright dip instead of trying to dip lower and end up folding forward. Back leg heel out for more stability. Stance has been a little narrow in the past as well.

Metcon at 80# and purple band: 7:01
Tried to get in sub 7 but couldn’t lock out the last two reps so I had to break. Unbroken FS on the 20 and 5 rounds but broke once on the rest.

Post – 4×8 JM Press with 5# DBs

Saturday: 2 hours of rock climbing at Vertical Endeavours
Sunday: 18 miles on the bike (9 miles one way) to the Chicago Botanic Garde
