Tonight was speed skating practice. My first in over a month since vacation and life hit. It felt amazing and I'm so glad I went. I feel like I'm finally getting back to being myself and being able to jump back in with both feet. So I pushed a little at speed and felt great!
More news, ran tonight and also felt great running. RYBO! was a great success and I will be publishing a review of the program coming up shortly for a good friend of mine on another site. I will link to it here when it's complete. As for running, I plan to continue to use it as a cross-training aide and just enjoy it for fun, but at the moment I don't have plans in the works to do any organized runs locally.
From this coming weekend I have 6 weeks until Derby tryouts. I am going to push a bit and try to get ready for this. It means being able to skate 40 laps in 6:45 or faster and be able to juke and move through the pack, take and give hits and do sprints then be able to jam through the pack. Going to be interesting. To prep, I'm resuming speed skating on Fridays, doing as many open skates as I can just to work on technical skills outside of derby, then do derby practice Sunday, Monday & Wednesday. This week I need to do all 4 days of Derby, so I'll be adding in Tuesday. Pray I don't burn out!!! :)
Starting January 2nd, I am joining a small group of people on a fitness journey. We are making it 60 days and we'll all be doing our own Beachbody program hybridized with our current fitness routines. I'm really looking forward to it and will be posting about this more as it gets closer.
In the meantime my workouts this week are:
Friday: Speed skating - 2 hrs - Intense sprint work and off-skates leg workout
Saturday: Open skate - 2.5 hrs - This is my relaxed practice, technical skills time.
Sunday: 2x Derby practices - 4 hrs
Monday: Derby - 2 hrs
Tuesday: MAYBE OFF. We'll see. Otherwise, derby!
Wednesday: Derby - 2 hrs
Thursday: Crosstrain core, yoga, stretch
Friday: Speed skating!!
Saturday: OFF!!!
That's as far as I have it planned out for now. I will be building up and posting my routine for the 60-day Beachbody challenge this weekend.
Stay tuned!
