I live near one of the gyms in my chain, but had never gone there...it's in a nice part of town so I figured it'd be a well set-up place....It was an absolute shit-hole. Weight room was in the basement...and 3rd floor so you had to take an elevator up and down since equipment wasn't grouped logically. Basement reeked of mold, my whole face was burning from it. Everything was sticky and grimy, stuff was mismatched, and the 3rd floor was cold and wet. Awful awful awful, horrible place, never going back there.

August 18, 2019 Hiking then Full Body
I am 10000% exhausted, 4 workouts in 2 days. This morning I went hiking / birdwatching for 60 minutes, then did this workout. My legs and knees are toast. One odd thing though; since that left calf injury, and the rapid healing, my entire left leg feels generally much better. The achilles tendon isn't sore anymore; I've written a few times about the chronic soreness I've had in both of them for a while now. I also had that twinge in my left hamstring that has completely vanished...Weird.

August 17, 2019 Sprinting then Batting Cages
Calf felt fine here. A couple hours later I went to a batting cage and took hacks for about 30 minutes. I was soaked through my shirt by the end...what a workout! I'm going to sleep good tonight

Decided to do some 1/2 speed sprinting, and going flat-footed, since it's when my foot flexes to the max that I feel the pain in the calf. On the 2nd sprint here I felt it try pulling again and knocked back the speed a bit after that.

So after that sprint session, I basically limped around the rest of the day, but I could at least bear weight on the leg finally by the end. So I'm assuming it's a calf issue, now that the radiating pain has subsided to something more pin-point, and that point is in my lower calf. No reason I couldn't get a workout in today, so I did a regular full session. Threw in a plank just for fun.

So on my 2nd warmup sprint I felt this painful tugging at the base of my calf, basically where the Achilles attaches. My first thought was that I tore the left achilles tendon. I gimped to the finish line, tried stretching, and it still hurt...tried walking and couldn't bear any weight on it. Tried resting and then jogging and it seemed to loosen up, but was still really painful. Tried running a few more 1/4 speed sprints to see what was going on (probably a bad idea, but I figured if it was a tear I needed to get one last workout in). I can't describe how bad this hurt, it was like a burning yanking pain, and so extremely low on the left calf that I thought it was the tendon.

A little bit tired here, 4th workout in 5 days, otherwise decent session. Focusing on form with the hanging power snatches...

Movers came on the 19th, turned into a protracted ordeal, had to saw my box spring in half to get it up my stairs then put it back together. Plus the heat index for Fri-Sun is supposed to be over 105 each day. I was literally soaking through my shirt within 30 seconds of being outside, and I'm not even exaggerating. My weight dropped 12 lbs, and then was back up by the end of the day just from sweat & rehydrating. In retrospect sprinting here probably wasn't a great idea because I had more stuff to move later in the day and repeated the weight swing (as I would Sunday as well).

I have a move coming up to Newton, so I didn't want to go too hard here with deadlifting. Also incline bench was occupied so I used the flat bench here. I absolutely love it, it's so much firmer than the ones in Allston, may have to remember that for later.

We have a yoke bar at my gym that I've been wanting to try, finally got around to it....Honestly, I don't know what to think of it. It felt like it put an absolute TON of pressure on my mid-section, and threw off my center of gravity pretty bad. Even warmups felt awkward.

Getting back up to speed here after vacation, first time trial, standing start, no split stance, no blocks, no crouch. Taken at Newton North. Felt good, can definitely go faster. Going to retest in a few weeks.
