To be quite honest, most of the posting I've done over the last few weeks have been from Toronto as when I'm there I don't have any packing to do. Once I've unpacked the things I've brought over from Ottawa I have some spare time as my girlfriend hasn't moved in yet and I don't really know anyone there. She starts her new job next week and will be moving into our new place then.

I'm still on the job hunt myself. Have a few jobs potentially lined up but the recently called election may slow things down on that front, hopefully it doesn't. One of my potential jobs is with the Provincial government so I may still be able to transfer to that one (although the recent provincial budget has announced 1500 job cuts )

Sleep is currently crap, diet is currently crap, training almost non existant (limited to mobility work and foam rolling pretty much) and I pretty much just try to be recovered in time for the next hockey game. My shoulder is doing pretty good but my right hip (the reason I may be hanging up the skates after this winter) is acting up again, once I'm warmed up I'm good to go, I'm alright after the game and the day after, two days after is when the pain starts, I'm sure the constant drives from Ottawa to Toronto aren't helping things...

On the weekends when I'm in Ottawa, groceries are done, some workouts are completed (full body, low reps, low sets, all compound exercises) and I feel pretty good. On the weekends when I'm in Toronto, groceries do not happen, sleep patterns are screwed and I spend the next week trying to catch up on things I couldn't do on the weekend.

What's the plan?
When I actually get to Toronto and settled, German Body comp to get rid of the fat I've added over the last month. Follow that up with my staple of WS4SB, I'll be using the strength and speed template scheduled around my soccer schedule that should be the same day every week (I've found a soccer team for the summer by the way...) The Tuesday from the template will be game day for me. The Saturday from the template will be the day I work on my 5k time.

Every morning will start with foam rolling and/or mobility work which I am presently working on making a habit using the Essential 8 found at the bottom of this article, DeFranco's Training ..:: The Ultimate Way To Become A Better Athlete ::.. , or this warm-up, . I also try to do some shoulder rehab/mobility work at the end of this.

Now the shocking news
I have joined a commercial gym
I will still be doing plenty of work from home but since the basement apartment I have found has low ceilings I am unable to set-up an appropriate pull-up bar. This has forced me to do the unthinkable and go back to the dark side The good thing is I get to reintroduce barbell training. The hard part will be sharing with others again

I'll be back to myself in time, I just hope that time is soon. Once the apartment is set-up I'll probably post a few pics in here. Any questions? Shoot. You may or may not get a coherent response however

Hope you get everything all squared away, especially on the job front. I know around here there are a lot of cuts in government spending. Which means a lot of job cuts as well.

Never been a member of a gym before. Always have had the luxury of working out at home. I guess that may or may not be a good thing.

Best of luck and keep us posted on your progress
