In a Rut

My training hasn't been going as well as I have wanted it to go, I dont no why and I no you have to take the good with the bad but its tough to keep motivation. Last Thursday and Friday I went for 10 mins of Longcycle with 2x32kg and on Thursday I went 7 mins @5rpms which was ok I was feeling very good and mentally just fell apart. Friday I went for it again not totally sure why, I guess I was getting greedy and only managed 5 mins @5rpms, After this I just called it a week.

Tuesday 3/20/12
warm ups 20kgx 10/10 24x10/10 2x20x 8,8, 2x24x8 2x28x8 2x32x5
Longcycle 2x32kgx 5,5,5,5,4,5,4,4 total of 37 reps nothing crazy just happy I made 8 mins
longcycle 2x24 9,9,9
that's it.
Overall I am feeling ok just am having trouble with the mental game in kettlebells, if its not one thing its the other. I just have to push through and keep training.

Big PR today

 I got today from work because we were suppose to have this bad storm and I am working outside so they decided to call work off yesterday. Of course I am thinking that this is awesome I have all the time to lift today and get a good workout in. Then I wake up this morning and feel like trash for some reason, a lot of the people I work with and family members have been sick and I think it might be catching up with me. So I talk to Coach Duffey and hes like take it easy watch a movie and drink hot coco haha, I think this got in my head and I said I was going to kill it today. Maybe not the best idea but I went for it.
I stared off with 5 minutes of jumping rope, I have not done this in a while and really forgot how tough it can be. I will be working on this a lot come nice weather.
I did some joint mobility which I do everyday
Warm up sets OAJ 16kgx 5/5 20kgx 5/5 OALC 16kgx5/5,20kgx5/5,24kgx5/5, 2x20kgx 8,8  2x24kgx 8
2x28kgx 7 , 2x32kg, 5 After this I still wasn't feeling to crazy but I had my head set on it.
Longcyce 2x32kg 5,5,5,5,4,5,5 this was a big PR for me 5 rpms have been killing me. Duffey also was saying just think if you can do it feeling drained and shitty imagine what you can do when you feeling good.
Cleans 2x24kgx 15,15,15 this was a real grip smoker
That is it for today I am happy about it and glad I went for it because its like having money in the bank to draw on next time.
