Turbo Man's Fitness Blog: I'm a Physical Mess

NO LOVE HANDLES ALLOWED!

'It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.' Theodore Roosevelt 23 April 1910

I'm a Physical Mess

On the positive side, the knee issues seem to be completely behind me. No issues whatsoever for several weeks now.

But my right calf is in pieces and I managed to rub my 'buttocks' raw doing last weeks CrossFit session (3 x 75 sit ups seemed to act upon my delicate skin like 400 grade sandpaper!). Added to this, I have had 3 days in France on a MASSIVE carbo high that has left my digestive system in complete overload (or should that be breakdown?). I fasted on Friday that helped and have been very good over the weekend so hopefully I am back on track now; I just need to ease back in to the exercise regime and eat better, hard when I am living in a mess that is most definitely non-primal.

Only 2 weeks of the course to go and then I can start riding my bike again.

Well done to Frank for a sub 18 min km run. For everyone else, rest well, recover properly and look forward.

All the best.

Cavegirl said...: I fast now rather than eat anything off Priimal, just isn't worth the fallout for the momentary 'pleasure'!

Hope the bum improves, Crossfit will be the end of you!; 2 October 2011 at 19:44
