I was suppose to be focusing on my strokes per minute. This was really hard, I think I’ll have to do it again because it took me a while to figuring out what I was suppose to be doing. At first I could hit my s/m but I was hardly working, when I made myself work harder my s/m fell apart. It took me a while to understand that the power I could put into the stroke was independent of how fast I should be pulling the handle. I could work very lightly and have any one of those s/m on the monitor, or I could put a lot of energy into the pull and get any one of those s/m

I planned to do the WOD that day but ran out of time in the AM. I was going to come back after hours to do it but started to feel like crud by the end of the day and just crawled into bed.

Wednesday 3.7.12

I took a full rest day; looks like I caught my lifting partners virus. I was having body aches all day. It wants to settle in my lungs, but I’m not getting fevered and I my aches are starting to abate. So I am hopeful that I’ll dodge this bullet before it becomes full blown bronchitis.

It’d be good not to get bronchitis, whenever I get it I can sound like a TB patient for months after I’ve been sick. For me the cough is just annoying and doesn’t bother me as much as it bothers those around me. Mothers pull there young children close and hurry away for fear of whatever is making me bark like a possessed seal.
