2.4 Mile Run (21:49)

So for the last couple months, since I brought running back into the fold, I’d just been tooling around the same loop that was roughly 2 miles. My neighborhood is really not much good for running - super hilly, no sidewalks - so finding decent routes is a pain. I mapped a little nicer route today - steep hill at the start but then just “gently rolling hills” for awhile, then downhill on the return - and I’ll probably use this as the default route for the next few weeks.

Weird to deadlift several days in a row, I know, but I had a weird calf cramp/strain towards the end of my run last week and it’s lingered for a few days. Doesn’t bother me deadlifting at all but it feels a little tweaky walking up and down stairs, and just felt a little safer to deadlift rather than squat with that going on. Assuming it feels good tomorrow or Tuesday I’ll do my box squats and get back on schedule.

*I got a really awful calf cramp just a few minutes into this run. Rather than get progressively farther away from my house and risk getting so bad I’d have to walk-limp back, I turned and hobbled my way home

Also worth noting…I followed these instructions to secure my mats so they won’t slide when I’m in sumo stance. Now I won’t have to stack a bunch of extra plates on the same mats I’m deadlifting on to keep them in place.

Took some time off pressing after one of my shoulders felt really wonky late last year, going to bring this back in slowly and work up to the good ol’ 88 pounder over the next few months.
