Sorry I haven’t written in here for awhile. Just busy. I’ll be presenting the Annual Alpine Ontario Alpin Coaches conference on Saturday, so I’ve been busy preparing. But I’ve been training, especially after hearing two inspirational talks yesterday. The first talk was by Tara Norton (professional tri-athlete) who discussed how she recovered from two horrific bike crashes spaced years apart and her efforts to return to the sport dispute a significant hamstring tear for a personal best. The third talk was an amazing story, by Elizabeth Thompson, stroke survivor who is racing in Kona, Hawaii in just a few weeks – click here to see how she is doing and cheer an incredible individual and story.
Just to update you with some of my lifts, I just squatted 405lbs for 3 sets of 3. Not too bad. The weight didn’t feel like much on my back, which was great. I worked on some single leg work after the squats, which was great. I’ve taken a week off between training sessions, only because of work and baseball (it’s so sad that we lost in the finals). I’m pretty excited about the progress. My next lifting day should be Friday, maybe tomorrow if I feel recovered. I’m not certain as this is the first time I’ve lifted significant weights.
I’m holding off on testing my vertical. I’ll be testing on Thursday October 15, 2009 because I train prior to testing. I’ll keep you posted on how training is going.
