Recovery

Thurs 10/21

Glad i had a friend come over after the miseducation of LM on wednesday night who was able to bring to my attention, on thursday afternoon, that i (among other things - dont ask - really) threw up around 330a that morning. a proverbial light bulb finally turned on and it reconciled why i felt so awful while at work that day with the events of the previous night- i was working on a completely empty stomach and less than 5 hours of sleep. Thank you for being, to quote my alleged repeated phrase from the hennessey, jack, vodka, and gin session, "so good to me" and for cleaning up so i wouldnt have to the next morning - i owe you HUGE.

Needless to say Thursday was not the most productive day at work, i skipped the wod, and barely made it co-coach my endu class with Jared. It was the endoers new 1RM day and i was excited for them as they had been doing really well during the louie simmons powerlifting series. everyone posted gains of at least 10# in their back squat and 10# in their deadlifts - which is awesome - everyone except one llocfme. she was fighting a huge mental battle that cost her any gains that day. as a coach i should have been prepared to handle that scenario that day and i should have intervened sooner but i wasnt thinking properly since i was handling my own scenarios (which i had determined by that point that my scenario has never actually happened in real life and only occurs in rom-coms and so effectively it didnt really happen to me). My life needs to have its ducks in a row at home in order for me to be the best that i can be for the people i'm servicing - and i like to provide quality full service that people can depend on. moral of the story: i learned not to be an idiot and set myself up for drama, especially mid week.

Friday 10/22

Woke up refreshed, ate well throughout the day, finally got word from my sister and noah (YAY!) that they are settled in their new home in Nicaragua and thats its nice and warm down there. the prospect of a vacation in the near future is extremely high! decided i was healthy enough to do the wod at the 545p class:

For time:
1000m Row
200 Double Unders
1000m Run

i finished my row in 3:44 and i was able to string mostly 15 doubles unders at a time but could/should have gone through them a little faster. i didnt check my time as i left for the 1000m run but it felt fast and i finished with a time of 14:36. im happy with that considering the best time for the day was 13:16. went home - had some organic chicken breasts and relaxed the rest of the evening.

Sat 10/23

Met the endoers who weren't going to The Hunt for a wod at the track and they all went at max effort. Spent the day at home doing various chores and looking forward to a fun evening out in NY.
