Today was alright, it was a little more volume than I meant to do but as long as I take it easy tomorrow I think I should be fine still for this weekend. My short approaches weren't as far as I would have like but they felt really good--I think I was just tired.

Today was a really nice day, about 20 degrees and sunny. I went to the track this morning and did some dynamic mobility and mock runways in flats (low intensity), I physically feel good, I'm a little flat from being low carb but when I spike carbs on Friday I should have more available energy.
   Went to the gym in the evening to do the usual med-ball routine, core and light stretching, feeling pretty good.

Today was a rest day, all I did was some light stretching and myofascial release--less than a week now until the real season opener--I'm excited but a little bit nervous. I would really like to pb or at least have something positive to walk away with.

I had to do my workout early this morning since I workout until 10 tonight (and again 7-4 tomorrow) but after those two days I don't work again until Friday so I'll have plenty of time to prep for the meet this weekend. I felt pretty flat mentally but physically I was performing pretty well, depth jumps felt good and snatches weren't bad.. I could have got 165lb's if I did another set but I did an extra set anyway so I didn't want to push things.
The next few days are going to be mostly about recovery starting with an off day tomorrow.

Sometimes it's important to know when to work and when to rest. I didn't feel too great today--flat, tired, lethargic--I didn't get much work in and it pretty much turned into an off day but if that's what my body needed then why fight it? This close to a competition block rest is more important than trying to fight through it.

I was feeling pretty lazy today, my shift at work got cancelled so I pretty much just lazed about for most of the day. I was feeling pretty tired at the track and my legs were heavy too but surprisingly I jumped fairly well all things considering. I had one jump over 13.00m from nine steps and they were pretty much all in the 12.80m-13.00m range.
   I felt pretty good in the weight room though, very surprisingly. I thought that my strength was going to be waayyy down from cutting down, I'm 162.25lb's at the moment. But I tied my hang clean pb and almost set a 10lb pb at 255.5lb's--I would have had it if I wasn't concerned about the overall amount of volume. I'm slimming down and my strength is about where it should be, that's a good combination.
