What the Fuck is wrong?

So this week has been shitsville. I can't get my head right, and my body is not helping... Tue. I was warming up for the FB wod and tweaked a bone in the middle of my hand. I don't know, somwhere in a clean. So I started the wod and literally could not grab the bar, my hand hurt so bad. So I stopped the wod 2 minutes in. Very frustrated, I went for a timed mile. The rest of Tue. was pretty much the same. I mentally came unglued. A good nights sleep helped me attack 5a.m. on wed. Ready to put tue. away, I did the burpee/mile wod. 14rds which was 105 burpees, and my mile time was 20 sec off the day before. I was happy. Later Wed, my pec was not happy I did 105 burpees. I proceeded to get my ass kicked at work all night long. This morning I strolled into the gym very, very sore. My pec and shoulder very tight. I thought the 4 cups of coffee would get me through the wod. As I tried to warmup and scale the wod, because I realized pullups, and benchpress were not going to happen today. I found nothing I could really do without discomfort, or pain in my shoulder. Frustrated another day, I left without a decent wod. I got to physical therapy and explained everything. So now I cant do anything from the bellybutton up for 2 days, and she yelled at me. I guess my "greenlight" should have been a yellow light for now. Diet has also been shaky the past couple days. Not too bad, but borderline. AGHAGHAGHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

There that helped!

Monday

Get Monday out of the way

Up early Sat. to leave for our weekend away. I was suprised with a trip to Miami. I was suprised that the kids were coming along. I had to quickly repack kid friendly clothes. The chaps, and thongs are not for kiddy time... hahahaha. We went to the Sea Aquarium for the day on Sat. and stayed at the Shula Golf Resort. Had some beers, and some junkfood on Sat. Oh, did I say beers? Then we had a typical Brod family adventure Sat. night. don't ask!!! Sun. we were up with bfast buffet, and off to the stadium. The girls had never been to a football game. We did not tailgate, but we saw all that was going on. We had an awesome day topped off by a Dolphin win. Everyone seemed to have a really good time. Do I see a tailgate football trip in the future? Who's in?

Anyway back to work today, to cover for the guy that covered for me yesterday. Did a little tabata treadmill 12.5% @ 7mph... OUCH. That snuck up on me. Then 3rds of 15kbs - 20 weighted lunges - 15 GHD situps. Now I am ready for the rest of the week.

Wednesday

America F@#K yeah!

Tommy V, I salute you with my shredded hands. I salute all the vets who gave us what we have today, and those who will keep us safe tomorrow. I am not lying about the shredded hands. I have six blisters, and two have torn. Wow! that wod kicked my ass. High fives to all that did all the reps.

Did the CFE 5x800 yesterday I was in the range of 3:24 to 3:36. There was 90 sec. rest intervals. That sucked too. Little slips this past weekend with food, but I said its ok. Actually hopped on the scale for the hell of it yesterday and I am down 8 lbs from when I got my sling off. Clean eating does pay off. Not that I am trying to lose weight, but I would like to lean out a little more. I dont wnat to lose any strength while training for the tri. I hope to actually be stronger. Oh well enough of that. Is it Friday yet????

Saturday

hollow weenie

At work on a beautiful Sat. Sucks I miss halloween with the kids, but i am sure they will have candy as a surrogate father until tomorrow. This week kicked my ass. I have been sore all week. A couple little slips on the food, but otherwise all is good. Have not heard from the CFE "ers" about Sunday morning run. I did hear that there might be some people running at Lakes Park. Can anyone confirm? I promise I won't run naked! Let me know. see ya soon.

Real push ups

So, today at PT I was chatting with my therapist. She restated one of my goals when I started, "to do real push ups". She said since I have been working out, she wanted to see one. After some hesitation I did a "few". We will leave it at that. Not real pretty and a little painful, but I did some. Baby steps right? Don't worry they won't be part of my work outs anytime soon, but they can be in my warmups. Maybe!
I have been eating really clean. Wait, I did have PF Chang's last night. Only had Beef and veggies. I know the sauce was bad for me, but soooo damn good. I did not know they have a gluten free part of their menu... Something to think about!!!!!
Trail run Sunday. Who's in??? I have to work Sat. and will be off at 7a.m. on Sun. so if 8, is not too late of a start. I am good. Let me know... Oh yea, by the way, Today's wod SUCKED. F'd me up for a long time. Although it is the first day I have lifted anything overhead. Doesn't matter still F'd me up.
To all the CFE girls, I am counting yesterdays football wod as a CFE. It sucked too. 16 x 110m sprints with 40 sec rest. Yea a real puker!
Talk to you later
