• Notes: Deadlift didn't feel super strong today, but it's been a while. 
• Body: Tired.
• General: Found out yesterday that my medical waiver for the Navy has been rejected, so I am going to be in a holding period for a little bit. I can re-apply in 90 days so hopefully I can make some magic happen between now and then. In the meantime, I'm signing up for a 50 miler.

• Notes: Good day in the pool. My technique felt really strong and dialed in, and I am going to make this workout template a weekly occurrence. Eventually I want to be able to complete 2 x 50m on 0:50-0:55, starting from 1:20 intervals. These shorter sprints feel like they really develop my power especially in the kick. I will also start slowly adding distance to the technique work (pulls/kicks).
• Body: Soreness here and there, nothing notable. Right foot is tight from the run though...kept cramping up in the pool.

• Notes: 4/5. No gymnastics tonight, so I just did some PT at home. Ran with Josh again today and it was actually a pretty brutal route. Haven't done much summit running lately so Sanitas kicked my ass. Little bit of hiking interspersed during the climbs, but we made the summit in a little over 20 minutes. Really emphasized perfect form on all of the calisthenics tonight.
• Body: Feeling good. Having a little flank pain, which is a little unsettling since I am in the middle of dealing with my one kidney stone incident with the Navy right now. Hopefully it's nothing.

• Notes: 3/5. Decent day. Was hoping to get my 100m sprints a little faster, but I'm slowly getting there. My kick seems to be the fatiguing factor so I will keep working on that. 
• Body: Shoulders and neck are a little stiff and my quads are sore. Feeling pretty good. Right elbow is a little banged up from wrestling.

20 pushups
30 walking lunges, chest carry
20 4ct. overheads
30 squats L shoulder
30 squats R shoulder

took a little over an hour

• Notes: This is a really good log PT prep that I put together last night. Alternated rucking/chest carrying each round, but honestly I think it would be better to just chest carry the whole time because it sucks pretty badly. Extending this for about 2 hours and including some more running and extended arm carries would be very effective I think.
• Body: Pretty sore. Haven't had a rest day in a long time but I'm still feeling decently strong. Will probably try to get to the pool at some point today.

• Notes: 3/5. It was insanely windy at the track today which made intervals pretty difficult...nothing like a 4:16 1200m to make you feel slow as shit. 
• Body: Hip flexor still a little tight. Upper body soreness much better today. It's interesting that I am nowhere near as sore from this monday as I was from the last, even though it was more work. Still just kinda sore when I externally rotate.

• Notes: Really focused on staying streamlined and long today and it worked pretty well. I was hitting the same times as the other day but was working about half as hard and using way fewer strokes. I'm trying to start incorporating a double arm pull off every wall, but I'm starting with every other as it really gets you winded. It's nice starting the lap halfway across the pool though...
• Body: Shoulders are sore, and I have a little tender spot in my right hip flexor/groin when I kick in the pool. Gonna massage and stretch it out a bunch.

• Notes: Disappointed with my swim, especially my speed off the walls...everything just felt a little out of sync today. I think I need to spend more time dedicated to technique rather than simply distance. Each time at hit the pool I am going to do at least 500m of dedicated form work - through either kicks, walls, or slow laps. Good session at the gym tonight.
• Body: Good. Left shoulder is a little achy - external rotators are crazy tight.

• Notes: 2/5. Pretty easy today to get a little recovery and fin work in. I like doing the underwater/flutter kick combination to get some kick work in with the fins. Adding in some flutter kicks out of the pool would make it even better. 
• Body: As expected, upper body is pretty trashed. Forearms and pushing muscles are especially tight - but today I was mostly just tired.

• Body: Feel good, calves were a little tight after the run. Probably going to be sore tomorrow.

• Notes: 4/5. Tired today, felt pretty sluggish on the lift. Might not have eaten enough before but mostly likely just some carry over from a long weekend. Run was nice - the conditions were awesome, if slow. A snow came in just before and the entire trail was covered in low clouds and fog. Minimal to moderate amount of snow cover on the trails.
• Body: Lowish energy, tight in my hip abductors for whatever reason, and abs are a little sore.

• Notes: 4/5. Solid day in the pool, really pushed it on the sprints and was hitting my times. I've found that doing a "half" second pull - pulling to the armpit rather than to the hip - is a lot more efficient on the shorter fast stuff. 
• Body: Legs are pretty beat up. Good overall though.
