A terse look into my training, diet and philosophy for exercise and competition.
Had an overall decent workout today … Got in parts A-D on my own and then got the class in (E and F). I woke up this morning a bit sick and I probably shouldn’t have done this workout… my family has been sick for the last week and I was hoping I wouldn’t get the illness, but I think it has finally caught up with me. I had a PM session planned, but just called it and I am going to let my body rest/recover.

Easy Aerobic Run
-Complete ... ran between 4 and 5 miles ... untimed ... it was extremely hot today, but I gave it a go anyway and I felt fine for the first ~3 miles, but I really started dragging toward the end and just stopped and walked somewhere around 4.5 miles. This was supposed to be a recovery run, but definitely a bit higher RPE for me given the heat. Still enjoyed getting this in.

AM Workout (0615)
Overall a solid class workout today ... having said that it was a bit on my wrist and I probably had a 2-3/10 of pain, particularly on the wall-walk/bar MU piece ... this was frustrating, but in retrospect I should appreciative that my wrist is trending in the right direction and I can actually do these movements at all.
