Definitely floundering lately, because I'm not recovering. I intended to go hit the gym Tuesday night, but a laid down briefly to rest... and suddenly it was an hour later. I need to go into a rebuilding mode.

Those are some heavy and high volume snatches. Strong work.

Those are some heavy and high volume snatches. Strong work.

Thanks, sir. Still got a ways to go to chase some of the snatch fiends around here, of course.

I'm still working out how to balance the barbell and snatch volume. I'm no minimalist, and I enjoy doing both... but the body can only take so much...

Volleyball Wednesday. Rough day because of team drama. Followed by another missed opportunity on Thursday.

750yd swim
32min treadmill run/walk 2.3m

First long-ish swim since the before-times!

Hard-court volleyball in the evening. The other team was overloaded with guys, so I felt no compunction at hammering the ball at them whenever I had the opportunity. Good stuff.

Good session. Stayed away from muscle fatigue, joint creaking is slowly dwindling. My max effort switch is definitely rusty - haven't been able to spike my HR into the red zone during the bag work. Rebuilding in progress.

Volleyball on Wednesday. Managed to quash team drama, but we got blanked by a better team. It seems to me that the first thing old athletes lose is the ability to change directions.

42min treadmill run/walk 3.0m
30s hard run x4

I almost talked myself out of doing anything tonight "Well, if I'm going to run, I should really do it outside... but I need to stick around here to keep an eye on the dinner I'm cooking..."

Finally, I said to myself, "self, get your lazy arse on that treadmill and run!" Glad I did.

Messed up my TM for the first 2 deadlift sets, started too high. Need to write it down, dummy. Feeling good, other than a little grumpiness from the right forearm.
