bailed on the race yesterday because i have two sets of close friends in town from very far away. i don't get to see any of them more than once or twice a year, and in the long arc of my life i'm much more likely to be happy because of relationships i have and nurture than because i ran a race that isn't even central to my main training goal.
i feel a twinge of guilt and shame about skipping the race and any other kind of training from friday through today (sunday). but then i get mad at myself for feeling ashamed. will train extra hard this week to make up for it, especially as next week is beach week with the fam, and all exercise will consist of tennis, swimming, biking, maybe kayaking, and maybe running with my mom (i.e., slowly).

« on: August 08, 2014, 08:16:39 am »You've had that before right? Sounds like the tib-fib joint pain I get sometimes, especially when starting. Do you start with your right leg forward? A good way to treat it is in Supple Leopard in the knee section (putting the ball behind the knee and flexing the leg). Helps for me.
yeah, right leg forward. i'll check that section out, thanks for the reference.

felt sick last night so ditched workout and just rested instead.
tonight:
WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: hamstrings a little
ACHES/INJURIES: right knee kind of bad, interior
MENTAL STATE: okay
- warm up
- sprint 30m x 4; 30m fly x 4
right knee was very bothersome, especially on starts. pain is on the lateral side, both behind the patella and somewhat on the outside of the joint. fucking annoyed, had had several pain-free workouts in a row. did not finish as a result and switched flies in for 50s because i can start them standing up. tried to work on stepping over.
- stretch

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: quads severely, hamstrings a little
ACHES/INJURIES: none
MENTAL STATE: okay
- warm up
- sprint 300m x 1; 200m x 1, stupid fucking rugby players, 1; x 2
46.0 on the 300. getting there, will be sub-45 soon. rugby assholes got in the way on my second and third 200s, so those were incomplete at about 150 and 100m. fuckers, i don't go sit down in the middle of your fucking practice. stay off the track. times for completed 200s were 32.3, 31.5, 32.3, 32.3. headwind but still, slow. rest periods about 2 mins.
- stretch
shite workout.

looking strong, man. can't quite tell but it looks like you might be closing your eyes on a few of those reps? bad idea: closed eyes=lost balance.

quads are sore today for the first time in a long time. means i finally found a decent load for leg press.
also, i haven't had lower back pain in weeks. not this week but maybe next i will try to do some squats. lyle put up an article today about correcting a specific error in the squat, namely, the hips deviating to one side on the concentric portion of the lift. he gave some ideas for how to diagnose and fix the problem. so i'm going to try some light squats and get them on film and see if i can't fix the problem on my own. the PT i saw a little while back noted that my hips deviate in just that way, although it was a bad test because the conditions didn't actually replicate how i squat.
