Felt great to get some good HS walk practice.  Muscle up work seemed productive too, I have a better set up for the russian dips now.  It took all I had for the dead lifts in the wod, the ring dips got hard too.  Thanks!

So strange how both today and yesterday the ankle has felt the worst during the warmup and then kinda better after the workout.  Swelling is almost gone.  Felt good to put some time at high effort in on the bike after such a sissy ride on sunday.  Ab work went well, I like all those things.  Thanks!

I neeeeeded to workout.  Ankle still felt mildly achy, I think it's mostly related to the achilles.  It didn't feel great stretching in the warm-up but not real bad either.  Nothing really jumped above a 3-4/10 on the discomfort scale.  And now, a few hours after, if anything, it feels better!  I was a little timid with the weight and tried to keep a lot of tension and pretty static on the lifts.  TTB fatigued faster than I expected.  I could do 5, 5, and the the third set of 5 would end up breaking down to singles.  HBH series was painful.  Everything else went really well.  Excellent HS walk session in my warm-up.  Amazing how much better I am at that when my arms aren't recovering from anything.  Thanks!

Daily score: 6 (ankle)

Workout:

Mountain biking

(8-mile and Knebal springs)

16 miles and 3000 feet of climbing, 3 hours


I can't complain about this day because I could have been working, so it's definitely a win.  However, my ankle did keep us from riding 30+ miles which was the plan/goal.  It was a beautiful day and the trails are in perfect condition.  I just couldn't crank on the ankle at all climbing or in attack position on the way down.  It would feel 'not good' around the medial side and into the achilles.  I was very careful and just rode slower and in an easier gear.  I would say last night, after riding, it was about a 5/10 on the 'something is wrong' scale and this morning down to a 2-3.  The swelling is almost gone this morning.  It wouldn't worry me so much if it didn't shoot up the achilles.  My workout for today doesn't look like anything that would hurt it but I am debating taking the day off.  Will see how things feel this evening.  Still no clue what I did to it to begin with!  Thanks.

Swimming felt great, love the arms only swimming.  Ankle felt fine kicking.  Still messing around on the ski erg trying to figure out how to be the most efficient/powerful.  HS walking was just okay today.  I can tell some of the fear is creeping back in after not doing it for a week.  Muscle up drills went just okay too.  I have definitely lost some strength there.  Ankle swelling seemed to go down with movement but now a few hours later it seems a little sore.  Got a surprise day off tomorrow and plan to ride, hoping it holds up!  Thanks!

I was stoked to finally get to move again.  But strangely my right ankle, the one I broke started swelling on thursday.  It mostly was just sore from being swollen.  Not sure if it was from walking barefoot on the beach or what?!  I can't remember doing anything to it and feel like I've had the most sedentary set of days I've had in a year.  Anyhow, it felt totally fine during this workout.  I felt amazing getting back in the gym, by myself, my music, moving weight.  Writing this the next day, my quads are super sore and that's after swimming and doing the next days session.  Loved the jerk complexes, so fun.  The first set of strict press at 85 something felt wrong in my left shoulder so I backed off the weight and all was good.  Thanks!

Surf trip:

Surf didn't cooperate but we paddled out and got what we could out of it.  Also did a lot of relaxing.  I feel re-charged and ready to go!
