Feeling Better

Well the rain is clearing and I woke up with my leg feeling significantly better. I remember back in the early 90s I used to have lower back issues. My friend, Brian DeRoo, told me to attack the problem head on with straight leg deadlifts and hang cleans. Brian was a masters decathlete who had retired as a receiver for the then Baltimore Colts. He was right as I have never had an issue since. So that means I will hit a series of three types of lunge and lunge jump type combinations starting at a very low level. This is a little contrary to my orthopedic surgeon's advice that if your training is hurting you but your event is not, then you need to adjust your training. In this case both groin injuries were caused by vaulting. Time to attack the weakness.

Today is "Family Training" as we prepare to try and bring my 93 year old mother in law home after a stroke. We're not sure we can do it but we will try. I'm a big help with a groin strain - NOT. We should find out a lot about what we can and can't do today.

Tomorrow is our annual Halloween Vault. here are some links to the past ones. Have a fun day! Bubba
