In an ironic turn of events...

My alarm went off at 4:30 AM, as usual. I stretched, realized how much things HURT and said, "Um, nope" to the retarded power-clean workout I had planned for this morning.

It's ironic because yesterday I spent most of the day giving some "tough love" to another CrossFit hottie about how she's overtraining, and perhaps setting herself up for injury. And this morning once I realized (a) how much yesterday's DLs killed me, (b) how much my hip still hurts and (c) that my rear delt and lat are FINALLY starting to feel better but aren't totally back to 100%, I was forced to suck it up and follow my own advice. Those power cleans would have been less than useless in the grand scheme of my overall conditioning. Overkill. Totally.

So instead, no training, no fasting. And I'm going to double my food intake for the day, because I need it. And I will resist the pull of driveway OHS this evening, when I get home with my new Oly shoes (delivered this morning).

Well, I might just have to try them on. So maybe I'll just do a few.
