Training Log Archive: j-man

This wasn't suppose to be a rest day, but lack of motivation did me in. And then lack of towels and treadmills conspired to make it worse. So, I ended up on the cross trainer, starting at 11:15, or so.

Level 8 hills.

Decided to try to do some plyometrics in the form of jumpies with 10 pounds. Not so good. I could get through 5 before the pain in my left ankle below and rear of the cone on the left side kicked in. Depressing. I can't remember when I could these--one of my favorite exercises--without pain. I did another set, with the same thing, and some more with no weight. Depressing. I don't think it is productive to force my way through these as there are still things I can do. But, these aren't getting any better and I wonder what other mechanical problems I might be suffering.

I also did some one legged squats and one set of normal squats. And abs and push-ups on the ball.

They weren't so good either. Either I messed up something in the push-ups today or yesterday, or while doing pull-ups. Actually, probably those. Anyway, the latissimus on the right (or possibly the teres something) is killing me.

Falling apart. That is what two rest days gets you.
