  • General: The torn calluses on my right hand made me unable to do the WOD at CFCM today (Angie) so I decided to work on some strength stuff. Started to do shoulder press but I knew my body wasn't 100% focused/ready to do it so I stopped after one set.
  • Nutrition: Good, I cheated last night so I'm back to day 1
  • Body: Nothing really sore in particular, lower back is a bit tight
  • Sleep: 8-8.5 hrs
  • Reflections: I decided today that the marathon challenge did not fit into my goals for the summer and for the rest of the year, and I think I'm going to nix it. I also didn't feel like my body would be able to recover from such grueling 2-3 work outs per day, which would damper my performance. The key now will be less work and a lot higher intensity.I feel like I'm quitting again since it's the 2nd time I've dropped out of running a marathon, but I know I'll do it eventually. I'm going to continue to go to the track once a week at least to work on my running and focus a lot on strength until I get that back. I might consider adding whole milk back in at some point soon.
