Back to Work

Alright, so I spent the past two months doing absolutely nothing. I exercised approximately 7 times and ate way more pizza and donuts than a person should ever attempt. My body fat % went up, but I dropped a couple pounds which means I lost a lot of muscle. I've been back training for 3 days now, so far so good. There will be a couple things different about this season...

I'm going to run year round! No more IT injuries, no more weeks off from running. I am going to run! To accomplish this I have a three-pronged approach: regular deep tissue massage to break up adhesions along my IT band, consistent weight training to correct muscle imbalances and tighten my core, and lots of yoga and stretching. Add in a little luck and I'll be a real running machine in no time!

In other news...my awesome carbon fiber fixie was stolen shortly after I got back from Worlds. Luckily, my renters insurance covered the loss and I was able to replace it with an equally sweet fixie. I even had enough money left over to buy myself a PowerTap, so I'll be biking with power readings now.
