Fitness-12/17-press, run

Thursday

I rested yesterday and my body feels good aside from the fact that it appears I've pinched a nerve/pulled a muscle in my upper back/neck. It's more annoying than anything else and only limits my range of motion from the neck up. Turning my head side to side is rough as is looking up. Started with some press work today anyway.

-5 x 105#
-5 x 125#
-8 x 140#

Was trying to rep out 140 as many times as possible and was disappointed to fail on rep 9. But, my press continues to improve. Felt the upper back for sure but really don't think it held me back much.

After the press, I went after some running intervals with a work:rest ratio of 1:1. My intervals looked as follows.

400m-1:39
400m-1:33
400m-1:32
400m-1:29

I went after these about 85% intensity. On the first one, a car pulled in front of me as I was rounding a corner, hence the 1:39.

I finished the day with some ring-dip work. Productive day, hopefully the back heals.
