Today was alright, my body isn't as rested as it should be but I got an... Okay workout in today. Tomorrow is an off day so hopefully I'll be able to rest up.
I did some short approach jumps and my legs didn't feel as good as they should, I felt flat hitting the ground. Even so, they didn't go too badly. Mid-twelves from a strict nine step approach, would like to see that over 13.00m on a fresh day.

Normally this would be the end of the week but because of my work schedule I have to do Sunday's workout tomorrow. I am absolutely exhausted, I never knew how hard it would be to work and train at the same time--and unfortunately it's training that takes the hit. Tomorrow is a technical day and it's time to light things up before there is time to rest.

Not a good workout, I was absolutely exhausted from work and the wind was gusting up to 70km/h. It was definitely a challenge to get through everything and I started to get quite frustrated--I hate wind with a passion. Others may say they hate it but nobody loathes it as much as me. It's this invisible force that messes with you but you can't fight back.
Weights weren't great but I really wasn't feeling like myself so I'll take it I guess..

Today wasn't too bad, it was raining kind of heavy though the workout but not enough to hinder it. It was a pretty light recovery workout, just strides, but I actually did feel really good. I felt like my stride was more fluent that it has been and I was making good contact with the ground.

Today was a bit of a challenge, I have gotten up at 5:00am for the last two mornings so I was pretty tired all day. When I was warming up I felt as though I was going to fall asleep but by the time I actually got to the workout I felt a little better.
I think I hit a bit of all wall in the weight-room, I don't think my squat is going to go up anymore this season now that my weight is going down. If I can just maintain as I get lighter I'll be happy although I must admit I wish I was up about 20lb's.

Every time I do a workout the day after a meer instead of resting I quickly regret it. I was very sore today and physically exhausted. I had to wake up at 4:45 to go to work so I found myself pretty lethargic. My core is pretty sore still from jumping on Saturday too. I thought because I didn't jump very far that I wouldn't be as sore but I guess I was wrong.
Cut today's core a bit short and focused mostly on mobility.
