Mood/Reflections/Rambling: Cautious and trying to watch and listen intently. I was a guest on a podcast called the “Up Before You” podcast. It should be out in a week or so. Anyway, when I hung up with the guy I realized that I had just spewed out a whole bunch of stuff without really thinking too much about it. I like that feeling of just being able to go on about something, a rant or whatever. We talked mostly about LHRL and where it came from, my background and experience, etc. It’s fun being the guest because there’s much less pressure. If it’s not good, it’s not my fault. They asked me to come on the show.

I’m not sure why I started putting this mood/reflections/rambling section in here. I guess I want you to know where my head is at, or at least I can refer back to it and say, “Yes! that’s how I was feeling.” My intention was to do these blogs every day until I’m at a place where I’m fully recovered and training normally again. I can’t really say how long that is going to be. So at some point this may turn into just a daily workout post with the rev or something like that. Like 100 days from now I hope I’m not titling posts “recovering from rhabdo training day 110.”

Training: Today was fun. Like I said yesterday, I think running is going to be a big part of my training probably for the next year. I was just going to run in my neighborhood but I was asked to come up to the gym to chat with one of my business partners, so I ended up just making up a little workout:

20 Minute AMRAP

• 200 Meter Run
• 20 Calorie Assault Bike

I should start naming these workouts with some sort of rhabdo related names. We’ll call this one “Coca Cola.” Seriously I am really getting tired of saying and writing “rhabdo.”

Anyway, get out there and do something awesome. Let me know about it. von@liftheavyrunlong.com
