I haven't been updating much. I've been having to dramatically modify or bag lots of my workouts. HIIT? Long runs? Volleyball? Subthreshold gymnastic work? ALL problematic lately.
My knees are finally getting unsketchy again after having two really minimal training weeks-- I'm crossing my fingers they'll let me train how I want to this week. I need to find the line at which I can train without reinjuring them. I know half the problem is inadequate recovering-- my sleep and diet are not quite where they should be. (And yet I can't get myself to fix them. The sleep I can't fix without enough sleeping pills that I wake up hungover; the food I can't increase as I'm trying to cut about three percent more bodyfat.) I know my body's having trouble recovering, from how long my knee is taking to bounce back from all my workouts, and from how long my bruises are taking to heal. So hopefully-- HOPEFULLY-- these two easy weeks will have helped.
I gotta start taking more subthreshold days EASY, doing more foam-rolling, and doing more resting when I can.

Nightshift people...
are the weirdest people. I really like this, cuz when I work days, I'm usually the weirdest one there. On night crew, though, I'm just normal... and I don't even have to tone down my crazy.
Who works night shift?
People who aren't very social (you work alone a lot, and it closes your social calender 75% of nights), who like working independently and love music.
People who have chronic insomnia (if your sleep is already screwed then going to third shift has no drawbacks).
People with addiction/crime/messed-up histories (it'll keep you out of trouble, five nights a week).
Some students working around their class schedule, people with kids splitting childcare with the other parent, and people with second jobs or time-intensive hobbies end up in there, too.
Nightcrew is a smattering of sitcom characters-- a serial-killer-type dude who's uber-conservative; a super hot asian former cheerleader chick; a chain-smoking heavily tattooed and pierced 25-year-old dick; a depressed superskinny dude; a classicly attractive all-American leader; a mexican player-type; the spacey hot guy who talks about chakras and spent a year living on a boat; some dude on floor crew who pretends not to know english even though he does, and so on and so on.
