Running behind...again

This week I haven't been good at recording my workouts but at least I have been good about going to my workouts. :)

Monday:
Ran at lunch with a girl who is a new runner. SLOW pace but nice to be outside in the sunshine. It also got the legs moving.

WOD
Deadlift - 125lbs (prescribed weight was 135 so I am almost there)
Push-ups
Toes to Bar (really?!?!? I did knees to waist in my attempts at knees to elbows - haha)
Reps of 21,15,12,9,6,3

Time: 12:40 (I think)



Wednesday:
Another run at lunch in the beautiful sunshine and heat. Slow pace but not as slow as Monday. Made the afternoon that much better.


WOD
10 KB Swings 24 kg / 16 kg
10 Chest to Bar Jumping Pull ups
8 Wall Ball 20 lbs / 12 lbs

Complete as many rounds as possible in 3 minutes

REST 2 Minutes

4 Rounds

COMPLTED REPS: 2, 2, 2, 2 ( 3 of those 2 had 9 KBs on the end - just couldn't finish it for the 1/3 to be added on).

I did the prescribed weight on it too!! Woo hoo!

Workout was tougher than it looks


Thursday:

I was excited when I looked at the website on Thursday. Hold a handstand for 1 minute ...woo hoo!! Former gymnastic days were going to pay off. I went into the gym at work and tried one against the wall (that is what you would do for the workout). I could NOT do it. I can honestly say I never feel old - age doesn't bother me - but not only did I feel FAT and out of shape but I really felt OLD. What do you mean I could not do a handstand...against a wall....Holy Crap. My good mood disappeared right away.

So off to CF I went and the fundamentals class was changed.

I was tired after our warm up:

300m Run
15 Thrusters
15 Sit-ups

300m Run
15 SDLHP
15 Push-ups

300m run
10 - Samson Stretch
10 - Back Extensions

I had time so I found a wall and DID my handstand. It felt comfortable and I was able to hold it no problem. Only problem now was it put the little bug of gymnastics in my head. I managed a kart wheel (on a line) without falling over or pulling anything) and mucked around with more handstands. I'm going to practise more at home and get better. :)

WOD

TABATA (20 seconds on - 10 seconds rest)

Thursters (65lbs)
Box Jumps (16"...one day I will move up to 20")
SDLHP (65lbs)
Sit-ups

2 rounds than 1 minute rest

Repeat 4 times.

Okay - so that is the week so far and I have to get my butt out for a tempo run this week and a 10K run this weekend - and I have to push myself on that. My race is next week and I am hoping to go sub 1 hour for my 10K. THAT is MY GOAL.
