He said: Stress factor

Training in times of stress. This seems to be my major obstacle. I have a tendency to want to sit down and eat a box of cookies when the stress factor rises. Since our great 8 mile run on Oct 23 I have only run 9 miles. I have trained capoeira 5 times and gone to a bikram yoga class with my buddy Jay. I trained very hard and regained a certain amount of focus on my capoeira training, but I have not added the mileage like Geraldine has over the past 2 weeks. I have been stressed over several things including my dedication to my martial art training (that's for another blog), my career (ughh I manage 20 artists all with intense personalities) and the sudden passing of my grandmother Vermeulen. So I sat with Geraldine and talked about my workout schedule and how to manage both martial arts training and running. We came up with a split week where I train capoeira 3 times a week and run 3 times a week keeping my mileage between 14 and 20 miles. I am starting this schedule this week. Wish me luck.
