Coming off our last meet we've been just doing some volume work, repairing any injuries, and re working any technical stuff we saw at the meet.

Right now, in my training I've had Mark Giffen, (multiple time Canadian champ, world champ, more records than I can remember), get my training put together for this meet coming up.

It's a cool program, like nothing I've tried before, so I'm pretty interested to see the results, and just in general to get feedback from Mark.

I'm currently rehabbing a couple things. I had a pretty badly strained rec femoris that was giving me ridiculous knee pain that I got to loosen up. I tore cartilage on both sides of my ribs and that's made it difficult to tighten my core the way i would like to, but is a lot better, and almost not even noticeable now. I've also had some pretty good pain in my right shoulder trap area, that I think has more to do with compensating than anything else, so I'm not too worried, it's a lot better and I expect it to simply go away on it's own pretty soon.

My big issue right now is a spasming glute med, that once didn't go away for about 6 months. I'm very certain that I'll have it taken care of this week however, It's a combo of tight hips and my core not being as strong as it usually is I believe... but I have no idea for sure. I've gone to see my chiro Demitri who takes care of all the "Smart" stuff for me, so I don't have to worry about it. I see him 3 times a week, and do some back raises, and take a ball hockey ball to my trouble spots, and that should do it up.
