Great Weekend Workkouts

Since I was WAY to sore on Friday to do anything I took the day off. DT took it's toll on me. The Heavy weights knocked the stuffing out of me. It's Sunday night and I can still feel my abs from a combination of Wednesday nights workout and the overhead heavy on Thursday.

Saturday Marlene and I decided to do our 10K run. No need to go higher now right? Next 2 races are 10K. Woo Hoo.

My goal would be to record a Sub 1 hour 10K. Everyone else thinks I can do it - my body has always told me differently.

So we decided we were going to do the 10K easy but no walk breaks until 5K. A change from the 10 and 1s we always do for long distances. Going easy apparently means holding a sub 6 minute/km pace. haha. It felt good. Hard but good. It was a beautiful day but the temperatures were deceiving and at 5K I had to do some "re-dressing" so I wouldn't melt on the way back. We finished the first 5K in 29:38. YEAH! I was wondering how I was going to make it back as the wind was in our face now. It was brutal (probably the reason we were sub 30 going out - we sure didn't feel the wind at our back - but it was....). Okay - let's go easy back and do 10 and 1s. Okay -we agreed. We check our pace - yup - sub 6 or just over 6 min/km. The walks added some time to our pace but we finished at 1:00:38. Pretty cool - ohhhh so close - now I have to do that on race day.

We enjoyed a beer and cooler after. Yeah - we deserve it and isn't that what summer running is about????

Sunday morning I decided to do the 9am CrossFit class. Boy was I stupid. Once again - it was hard - like stupid hard - my forearms will never be the same and I was sucking wind.

WOD

25 Burpee Box Jumps

Then....

25 Burpee Box Jumps

10 Manmakers ( I changed from 25lbs to 20lbs - couldn't do it - :( )

Who would have thaought the Farmer Walk - 100m - would be so hard. Your forearms are done - done - done.

Actually - by then end of the workout - I was done - done - done. haha.

Okay - so - tomorrow I have to get my butt into the box and go Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday this week. Saturday would be a bonus - but I want to start pushing myself. The results are soooo coming through in my running and I want to keep it up.

For now - I'm going to go enjoy a cooler - catch the end of the Masters and then enjoy some dinner. BBQ.....YUM.
