Sled Drags- 3 plates
500 yards (250 forward, 250 backwards)
I will slowly up the yardage of this and prowler pushes. I plan to do some type of conditioning at the end of every session including prowler pushes, sled drage, sledge hammer for time, farmers walks, etc... My GPP is so bad right now I couldnt make it through a meet (throwing or lifting) if I tried.


I am not quite sure what I am training for right now. My training through the summer sucked because, well, real life got in the way! Between a full time summer course load for nursing school, clinicals, my fathers passing, and moving out of our old house, training took a back seat. Fortunately, a bit of normalcy is returning to my life and I hope to train consistently at least for the next few months.

I am contemplating a return to the shot put circle, and if that is what I decide to do, my training will focus around that. My weight training will not change much and I will continue to put my gear on from time to time. Depending on the time I have to dedicate to practices, I would really like to take one more shot at rying to make a national meet. I have come within centimeters of qualifying on multiple occasions now and would really like to give that goal one more shot before I hang up the throwing shoes for good. We'll see what happens, untill then, I am glad to be back training! Today was 6 straight training days!!!
