Last week was long - Summer National Championships for saber and foil. Like most tournaments there were moments of brilliance and moments of shame. In the end, moved up one slot in the foil ratings - 22 in the US and got on to the Saber list at number 37. Fenced Tuesday, Wedensday and Thursday last week - getting my ass kicked by children younger than my own on Thursday but learned.

This is my "recovery month" - with the exception of doing a deadlift max on Thursday I'm taking time off my crossfit class and Pilates to give my body some time to rest.

Monday - lesson and fencing 3 hours

Tuesday - easy strenght workout

Wednesday - fencing 2.5 hours

Thursday - Deadlift

Friday - Yoga

Saturday - who knows

Sunday - maybe take an outdoor bike ride if the weather cooperates.

(Its been crazy humid here in Philly so we'll see.)

Hope everyone has a great week.

Trying to get use to the new work hours. It is killing me. I don't know how long i will last. I can not handle working 12 days to get 2 days off

Monday a lot of walking

Tue walking and going to get my run in

wed master swim

thursday strength training

friday barre class

saturday depending on when i get home from work maybe a bike run

sunday a run before work

What kind of work are you doing? That seems like a brutal schedule

personal support worker. i work in the community look after the elderly and the sick. I don't drive so i bus it and walk it. When you look after someone that is 400 pounds or someone that refuse to help wash them self it becomes tough. You need a break after 5 days

Im sure. That has to be difficult

It is and they have now said we are no longer allowed to book appointments during work hours if we do the hours we need off will be counted towards holiday time
