Right after my last entry the sickness I mentioned hit me full force. Fever, Ear infection, shakes, weakness, sore throat, coughing.
Nasty. Then the ear infection caused a major cloggin in my noggin that even STILL hasn't fully gone away. The congestion is mostly gone, but there is still a slight lessening of hearing in my left ear. Very annoying.
Needless to say that cut my fitness pursuits significantly for a few days.
Running wise - I have started using Strava along with Runkeeper to track my running. One thing I really like about Strava is the 'segments' that they have, allowing for a little bit of friendly competition, and giving you goals to beat.
Kind of fun to hold 'CR's' (Course Records I think?) for a particular segment.
During the sickness I did not run as much as I wanted, but I did have a couple good ones.
Went on a nice run with the Davis County Group on the upper and lower Farmington Terrace Trails as well (These pics are on my instagram - yay!)
Beautiful Morning runs with that group - especially now that even with a 5:30 am start, you don't even need a headlamp!
After 2 weeks without BJJ I was very happy to get back to doing that - and even happier to see that when we started working on omoplata's I wasn't completely lost and I was able to pick things up possibly faster than I had before! Yay!
Preparation for the physique contest in September is moving along - I'm still not sure what I want to change in my current routines to improve in certain areas like ab and arms definition...
Here's a torso progress picture from May 20th:
As you can see one of the major things that will happen before any competition is a spray tan and some other tanning lotions! If you know of any deals let me know!
I have added P90X Ab Ripper and plan to add a day of the Insanity Abs program into my weekly routine. 2 nights a week each program one time - should add a nice little hit to the abs. I haven't done those programs in QUITE some time - my first time doing Ab Ripper X the other night left me sore for longer than expected.
I love it!
On Saturday the Refuse2Quit guys (who I run with a lot, especially since one of them is my brother!) finished the Bryce 100 Mile race. I love the last line of the last paragraph before the video. (Which is awesome, you should watch it!)
We certainly have other friends and brothers who still need to run 100 miles. Time to make plans (Brent and Aaron).
HA! 100 miles is a REALLY long run. Like 24+ hours of running without really stopping!!
Maybe I'll do a 50 miler this year though... Who knows!?
