Gwen will be reporting on the excitement in Afghanistan for her report on world news today. Thanks to her mother for being interviewed for the story. I hope that Gwen is able to capture your soaring rhetoric!
I have no idea how I am going to get a WOD in tomorrow. I do know that I can get in a lot of running if I so choose. I have appointments for both cars. The van and the brakes should take 3 hours. I could run home and get the car and drive back to trade cars for the next appointment. then I could drive home and then run or bike back. . . it has to be run as I have Tessie and the bike won't fit in the car. Tomorrow is going to suck. I am supposed to teach P.E. for Ione's class too. I am way off my pace for what I wanted to do as far as brewing beer before Wooj comes in Wedesday night. Crumbs.
The WOD for tomorrow:
5-5-5-5-5 Deadlift
Then
3 Rounds for time
15 Thrusters
20 Pullups
25 Situps
I did a crapload of ring pullups today in my quest to perfect the muscle up and my shoulders hurt. If I get to this it ought to be fun.
I did the deadlift portion thus far. I am posting as a "break" to rest up. Max deadlifting is hard work! So 5RM is what we were after today and I am pretty sure I set a new PR!

Thanks to the new weights I finally had more than 260 to lift. We have some more deadlifts coming next week before I program us to find our 1RM. I haven't lifted this much on DL since December, but I am still hoping to set a new 1RM PR in two weeks or so when I program it.
Okay, now to the thrusters, pullups and situps. I was going to go 95 on thrusters but after the DL I am leaning toward 75 due to the 45 reps and not wanting to compromise my lumbar as even the purest DL form taxes the lower back a little in that final motion of standing upright.

ReplyDeleteThe thrusters at 75# were a breeze, I probably should have stuck with 95 or at least 85. The pullups were NOT a breeze. I really struggled with them today. Iron gym, sore muscles, it doesn't matter if I give excuses the bottom line is they need improvement. I am dripping. Now to shower and get on to some fun. I meet Sally sometime once I get the van back and we are heading to Coronado Island. She has never been there and wants to see it. I figure Coronado Brewing for dinner. She was down with that. I am going to lose some paleo points this week with Wooj coming tomorrow. Hey Jonny. . . this is probably your week. I had 8 yesterday and have no food slips today, but there is beer in my future. I should be able to find paleo options other than the beer, but surely that will not always be the case when Wooj is here. I am guessing Mexican is going to be in there somewhere and surely I will see something else that catches my eye and has sauce or something.
FUCK! I lost the whole message. I'm not typing it again.

ReplyDeleteI was supposed to rest and then I talked to my friend Brian who told me about his awesome run. I wanted to have an awesome run. So I ran, but it wasn't awesome. Crap.
30 + 5 mins, ~3.0 miles, ~400 calories, Level 10, Random, 3.0-7.0 jumping all over the place depending upon incline and feel.
So after I was done with my "not awesome" run, I did some sun salutations and then handstands. (I needed some kind of re-motivation after that crappy run.) 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 breaths. Good stuff.
I really must rest. . . .
