So this is an after the fact summary. Going forward, I'll be using these types of posts as a preview to the upcoming week and will be providing a post for each track workout, at least. At any rate, here were my Week 1 workouts, which began last Wednesday, the 13th:
Wednesday - conditioning mile, weights
Thursday - 6x hill repeats; jog there and back; do rhythm plyos if possible
Friday - Off
Saturday - 30 min cross training, moderate pace; weights
Sunday - 6x150m buildups; sprint portion should not be all-out yet
Monday - 15 min light jog, weights

I started the week with a tough conditioning mile: I used 25 push-ups, 2x30 sec abs, 20 dips, and 2x30 sec hops as my four stations. It was brutal. Let's just say my push-up form was less than stellar down the home stretch... I managed a decent lower body lift but struggled with a full upper body routine. I certainly kept things in perspective, this being my first workout of the season, but I was still a little disappointed.
I pushed my Thursday workout back to Friday morning due to a holiday party (quite fun, but in January??) and then played winter league ultimate and lifted on Saturday. I hit a back-to-back hiccup after that, though, when Sunday turned into a 24 hour hibernation of sorts and I didn't leave the office on Monday until 11:45pm. Turns out the gym would have been closed anyway due to MLK. At any rate, I decided to skip the Monday workout entirely (instead of making it up today, Tuesday, which is an off day), since tomorrow's workout is very similar.
All in all, not a bad week...I'll be hitting my stride soon.
