Bret S. training log

Tues 7/20

AM 30 min walk/run with the dog, then another 15 min walk in the evening.

Aggravated the shoulder injury yesterday prying 2 x 4's off a masonry wall, they were nailed on and had the nail heads sunk in deep so they had to come off the hard way. I had to push one off due to no room for pulling, had max power going when it let loose.. that hurt like hell when it gave way. Took a couple NSAIDS and some extra C while foregoing any training, today I have to use the shoulder again for more work in the area. ?
Somehow, some way.. I'll find my groove again and get back to 'normal' life and training. Sooo.. it's back to some serious mace work for awhile methinks.

The pup is 3 mos old today and growing rapidly, he's nearing 25 lbs.

Similar run/walk this am with Buddha, we ran half of it, today was easily over 3 miles. Last night we did another 1.5 miles, tonight will be the same. His little muscles are popping out ? , there are quite a few hills we traverse with very little flat ground in our area.

Working with my shoulder is good therapy I think, yesterday it wasn't ready for anything else. Today will be the same I suspect. It's getting stronger every day and hopefully will be ready for some training soon. I can't believe how easy it is to cascade into an injury sequence.. I also can't think of a better way to train the shoulder than what I'm doing, maybe loading huge refrigerators on my truck without help at 62 isn't such a good idea ?.
Anyway, onward we go.. ???
 
Mon 7/26

Rested the shoulder for the remainder of last week, puppy and I have been averaging 3 1/2 to 4 miles a day walking and running. Daily locomotion has me feeling very strong and fit, this week I'll get back to some more normal training.

Great minds Brian.. I was thinking the same thing with TGU. Everything felt pretty good today, the shoulder is at around 75-80% I think.. down from 90%+
