I Will Train, Train and more Training … when I get sick of that I will train some more…

I know, I know, it’s been a while but I have a valid excuse. I have been lazy and being lazy is hard work. I mean, I have to come up with multiple excuses as to why I am not doing anything. Sitting around the house doing nothing is very tiring. I have been working my arms out hitting the snooze button; one morning I hit it so many times my hand started to hurt,I know right! Well after gorging myself on non-healthy everything and watching my abdominal region grow and then reading my own blog and seeing my goals and then realizing the marathon is only about 14 weeks away. I realized I needed to get cracking!
As you all know, I have been working on my running form and changing it to Pose running. Been slowly working on it for the last month or so. I didn’t realize I was such a slow learner. Maybe the old dog new tricks thing has some merit, but as I tell my children, “you are the boss of your body” so I told my body that it would run with the proper technique and slowly it is coming around. The real issue as I have been experiencing from sprints to distance have been my calves. They are smoked! I need to not calve load so much and learn to spring not push. After a particularly grueling WOD:
4 rounds for time:
10 knees to elbows
15 box jumps
500 meter row
This preceded a Christmas day WOD of:
400 meter run
100 jump ropes +90 meter sprint x 6
400 meter run
I found it hard to walk today. I am still working on the technique. It needs to come quickly as I start to get into the distance part of the training. So I will train. Next week I will be recording how I run so I can analyze it and I will train some more. I will post it here so stay tuned. The couch is going to have to learn to work alone for it looks like I will not be seeing it any time soon.
