A couple days ago I was like "where's the cline thread?!?!"  Glad it's up :)

 

I waited until sunday night b/c frankly.... I was doing stuff in leg warmers.

I AM going the distance

 

'Cause all I wanna do is go the distance. Nobody's ever gone the distance with Creed, and if I can go that distance, you see, and that bell rings and I'm still standin', I'm gonna know for the first time in my life, see, that I weren't just another bum from the neighborhood.

Last night's training

 

OHP for volume and repping heavy - so heavy sets repped and total of volume.  OHP why you vex me?  Honestly, though, they went well. 

 

Shit ton of assistance work.  I dropped the weight on most things b/c my elbow and coach wrote the program so I had to:  everything was 5x15.  D'oh!   some stuff hurt most didn't. 

 

Elbow is a bit hurt-y today.  I have already heated it during the breakfasting and now I've slapped on a bunch of tiger balm (oh the office smells GOOD!) and I've slapped a leg warmer on top.  That's how winning is done!  (ok probably not)

 

I took the bus home 3/4 of the way last night b/c turns out spousal unit is not, in fact, a meterologist.  He said "it'll be in the 50's when you leave work" so I dressed for that.  Yeah.... so cold last night and no mittens, no hat.  Grrrrrr.... So I stood there like an idiot and waited for the warm bus.  I only walked 1/2 mi yesterday.  But it was a brisk walk! (get it?  LOL)

 

Got home and banged up foot is so many pretty colors and boy was it swollen.  Ice, ice baby.  I did quite a number on that foot. 

 

Breakfast was some chicken thighs and spinach with some tomatoes and coffee.  nice.  I love when spousal unit is gone. 

 

Also, week 1 made my promises.  I'm deailng with the rest of that today.  And the best part is 1 promise already kept & done!  :-) 

 

I finished my course work for the week last night which is cool b/c the class started yesterday. 

 

I'm still fence sitting about rucking.  Honestly, it feels a little bandwagon-y any more and I'm old and stuff.

 

Mmmmm tiger balm makes me so happy!  I love the smell.  I love the heat.

T nation:  why you no work at 1RM?  why you no add weight every workout?  why you work at 70-80% so much?  why you suggest assistance work?  You silly.

I got some arm warmers and they go on but are super tight. My forearms aren't even that large. Leg warmers would be nice and baggy. Stylin' though!

 

No these aren't those silly things bike riders wear (which I never understood). 

 

These are old fashioned dancing leg warmers.  I used to use them all the time when I danced.  Mine all had holes which was great bc then you could tuck them under your heels. They do work pretty well. 

 

I'm excited to try my actual sleeves though.

 

So leg warmers on the arms, but no photos?

 

Y no photo?

 

bc I haz a mean.

 

pretty much this is what I lift in.

Don't know how I missed the thread for so long (I was checking every day) but I'm here now. Love the leg warmers on the arms, ALL the article sharing, and the epic beast mode. Boo for swollen ankle and elbow still being difficult. 

 

hallooooo!  Yeah my foot is really banged up.

 

On the elbow front, I can now dress myself without excrutiating pain which is huge compared to a week ago.

No.

 

You will not use a gif from one of my favorite movies against me.

We've been talking about this since August.  Do it.

 

I love you for loving that movie.

I'm trying to decide what to post on fb today

 

1.  How awesome my workout was (which we all know doesn't count unless you post it to fb)

 

or

 

2.  That it's cold out. 

 

I'm so torn.

My Dad has ridiculously bad eyesight.  He once got Fiery Jack (like Tiger Balm but without the smell) and Preparation H mixed up in the medicine cabinet.  True story.

 

tendonitis sucks :(..  Current thinking is just keep stretching it and wait till it stops hurting and not put too much strain on the elbows.  I'm not quite in your condition but even just straightening the arm out sucks at present.  Any tips?

Or, if it's cold just stick your foot out the window! Hope it heals up for you.

BOOO injuries!! BOOOO elbow tendonitis!! BOOO switching the Prep H with the Fiery Jack...no wait...that's funny since it wasn't me :D

 

Hope you two heal up soon!

You should make your own Rocky 4 montage. It would show an awesome workout while illustrating the temperature conditions.

Best idea ever!

I walked home from gym 2 mi in the polar vortex.

I have to say, I expected more from the polar vortex.

But to honor your vision, I did some shadow boxing in the park (it was dark so I just look crazy).

Jabs hurt.

Pardon typos, I'm eating jerky.
