Well the ankle is starting to return to a normal color and size. Tough week having to alter my workout, no basketball, or running. Also, I missed boot camp last week and it looked like a fun one doing many different routines plus running up and down the parking ramp. Hopefully they will come back to that one sometime this summer. On the plus side I did a lot of planking (good overview of planks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvxNkmjdhMM), push ups, and pull ups last week. Thinking a head to the Spartan Race in Nov. my biggest concern are the monkey bar type of obstacles. I am thinking I need to up the amount of pull ups I am doing to help get me through those obstacles. But, before that, I need to get my ankle better and train for the half marathon in Sept. Thinking I might be able to go for a longer run this coming week.
One thing I have started to notice is that the push ups are becoming easier and easier. What I am going to try and focus on is how many continuous push ups I can do. Last week I set the base line for myself at 56 at one time without stopping. My goal is to try and get to 100 consecutive. By the time I get done with these I would like to get to 200 consecutive.
On a separate note, maybe not a motivational video, but very well done by John Oliver. Especially during the world cup:
