Sectionals Athletes: Rest day tomorrow. Plan for a 2 – 3 hour session on Tuesday.
Read “Joint by Joint Approach to Training” by Mike Boyle. It will give you some insight on why backs ache, or knees hurt, or how rotator cuffs come to get inflamed. You might be surprised that it has very little to do with your back, knee or rotator cuff itself. The coles notes version of *what* to do about it… do your joint mobility including wall slides and lots of hip/ankle work… make sure you’re regularly training GHD raises and ring rows. If you *do* get an ache, ice it, but also look “upstream” and “downstream” for the source of the problem. Read the full article at TMUSCLE.com (note, this site is not very work/family safe)

It seems Kimberly was inspired by the copious amounts of shrimps ingested this week by yours truly…
The weather is almost tropical, here’s some recipes to match.
I was craving something a little different this week and Tania’s travel posts inspired me to buy some shrimp and find a new recipe to go with them. I found a tasty looking recipe on one of my favorite paleo food blogs from CF Santa Cruz Central. They’re a little labour intensive but well worth it and a nice change from the usual pork/beef/chicken + veggie meals. I squeezed some fresh lime juice on the shrimp before serving to add some kick, avocado slices would be a nice addition too.
The “Meat at the Forks” meatshop at The Forks sells Andouille sausage (and other nitrate-free bacon and sausage products). In a pinch I’m sure Chorizo or Italian spicy sausage would work too.
… then recover with a light rowing pace for 5 minutes
This is a test of primarily stamina, accuracy and coordination. If all of those are in order it will test endurance as well. If not, you may find your balance put to the test. Then, of course, there’s the mental toughness aspect… “this too shall pass”…. And, of course, if any of these areas are found wanting, Karen – at 150 repetitions – is an excellent opportunity for practice
