10/13/13 Sunday October 13, 2013 (6 1/2 mile run around lake)

I ran a couple of times around the outer path at Greenlake today with my friend, actually hit probably about 6 1/2 miles total.  Also walked down to the lake and after the run all the way around, which is probably at least another 4 miles so this was a bit much for the body I am pretty certain.

Felt actually good running through I took a long time warming up intentionally, as my right knee was a little sore yesterday afternoon and into the morning.  Not totally sure what that was all about.  I am going to really focus on foam roll, lacrosse ball etc. and watch this a  bit closely.  Still mulling over trying to run the Seattle half marathon with my buddy after Thanksgiving.  Really running isn't my focus and I don't want to do something stupid that would impact my strength training.  I am really deliberating on this one at this point.

3X:
2H SW 44 kg, 5
SN 24kg, 3/3

SN the 24 kg 5/5 on the minute for 12 minutes.  At 4 minutes I had to take an extra minute as I was gassed and there was some concern on my part about tearing callouses.  Fortunately I did not tear anything.

Total reps in 12 minutes - 55 per arm, 110 total

8:15am - Complete

Notes -  This was solid.  I did have the concern on tearing callouses on the R had but that did not end up happening - chalk is so helpful, and I kept grabbing some.  Definitely snatching two days in a row is not desirable and that was an anomaly of the training schedule having moved Wednesday's work to Thursday, but I went with it.  I look forward to seeing how I can keep improving with snatching.  I focused on really trying to keep the bell close to me on the ascent and getting a lot of snap so that drove the bell all the way to make it easy for a soft landing.  Also tried to experiment with the groove and keep the bell as "straight" back through the legs and up as possible, no wasted motion.  I have a lot to work on with the snatch.
