Thursday: Rest
Wednesday training day was a little off.  I was beat and ok with it.  I need Thursday to recover anyway.  This process is wearing on me.  I have NOT attempted any pull ups or gymnastics at all.  I know my elbows aren't ready.  I can feel it when I do light kipping swings.  I'm working on my patience skills and thinking about becoming a Buddhist so I can learn the art of meditation.  lol

*I have been testing my arms with BB this week.  I know this is the 4th week but want to do ok at the comp first week of NOV and felt it was necessary to see where I am at.  In fact, I put a little weight on my power cleans, squat cleans, and snatches on Tues.  Very minimal lifting but just wanted to see how it felt.  It was ok and I didn't have any pain when doing it but CAUTION is my middle name while I was doing it.
*Then, on Wed I decided to test out a WOD after the sled work and before the core work.
The workout was increasing snatches 75,95,115 and a lot of burpees.  I did almost all the burpees as step down and step up burpees with no issues and didn't go fast on snatches. Good thing is I'm fine on Thursday.  I went to Airrosti today and they said it's going to still take a while but stay away from things that cause pain and aren't manageable.
