Notes -  Interesting day.  Got back from vacation yesterday afternoon, and both of my kids are sick.  Was up pretty much at midnight until I couldn't take the coughing any longer from my daughter in bed next to me, a few minutes after 6am.  Maybe I cobbled together a couple of hours of sleep.  I contemplated not training or training later but literally had 4 days in a row of great sleep, Thurs-Sunday, probably the most rested I have been in months and months.  So I said what the hell let's get after it.  Once I got going, I felt good.  First chain on the R side I did not like the feeling in my front R pec, but realized I really needed to focus on the movement, keep my lats down, use my hips to move the bell.  All other reps were much better.  I am not completely sure how much training I will do Tues-Thurs this week given Christmas Eve, Christmas etc. and I wanted to get in at least one more snatch practice before training with Kevin on Friday.  So I decided to move up the weight from 16 to 20, increase the density from 6/6 to 7/7, but drop the time from 12 mins to 7 minutes.  Absolutely great, felt strong, snatching the 20 kg actually feels the best to me.  I am looking forward to the day when a 24 kg feels like the 20 kg does.  

12/21/13 Saturday December 21, 2013 (3 mile run)

I went running for about 30 minutes or so at the track by my parents' house in Hockinson, WA while on a trip for the weekend.  Felt pretty good all around, but am watching the R trap, R front pec, R neck pretty closely as I definitely am not feeling that it is nearly as loose and free as it needs to be.  As to running nice soft surface on the track, I enjoyed that quite a bit.
