Training Log Archive: Rosstopher

So, training camp was a success. My legs feel great but just as soon as I got home from NH on Sunday the sore throat and sunburn conspired to wipe me out pretty thoroughly. Pretty snotty and sore throat still present today, probably should have stayed home from work. I didn't run and am doing my best to drown the cold and get healthy. To this end I will go to bed instead of staying up to properly log all the stuff from this weekend. And last week.

Sam made hot and sour soup for dinner tonight, and for the 15 minutes that I was eating that it was like I was magically cured. Is it possible that either white pepper or shitake mushrooms are an overlooked panacea?

A co-worker tried to convince me that getting sick is a positive sign that I'm not overtraining, because apparently not being sick ever can be a symptom of overtraining. I'm skeptical, but happy to try to find a silver lining to the whole "my face turned into a snot faucet" thing.

Event: CSU Spring Training Camp #1
 

Saturday Simplification - Splits

Saturday Control Picking - Splits

Night-o - Splits

So, I decided to rest because the crazy painful knot in my left calf was still bothering me and I wanted to be in top form for the training camp. Drove around in the evening, dropped off some NEOC gear from the junior camp last weekend, picked up some night-o flags from Pia and Mark for the CSU camp this coming weekend (CSU's youngest members are too precious for words) and then stopped at a Thai Restaurant on the way home. I could feel the onset of a sore throat so I ordered green curry as hot as I could get it.... hoping that the capsaicin would drive off the illness.... to no avail. Of course, ordering really spicy foods protects my meal from Sam too :)

No training today. Gross weather in the morning, delicious passover feast in the evening.
