Uhm, yeah, so I’m getting somewhat bored with blogging. I may begin to just record workouts and not post online. I hate Dancing With The Stars.
I worked out Sunday – the first time I’ve done so in a very long time. I arrived at CFD before 8, spent time on mobility, and then did a met-con.
3 rounds for time:
Run 800m
35 American kettle bell swings, 44#
25 hand release pushups
Even after Saturday’s 150 air squats, my legs felt great. Running, of course, was a pleasure. I completed the first and last rounds of KB swings unbroken, and the second round in reps of 25 and 10. I completed the first round of HRPUs unbroken, and the remaining round in reps of between 10 and 5.
Time 18:26.
I coached endurance and Kristin was once again the only athlete to attend the 9am WOD. There were only 5 at the 10 and 11am sessions, including 2 at the 11 session who were using their Living Social deals. Uhm, I’m beginning to take this personally. On a very positive note, Ms. Amy graced me with her presence! I kissed the top of her head. I’d do it again.
When I’m not in a good mood it seems to people as if I’m in a bad mood. CFZ 6amers, I wasn’t in a bad mood this morning. I wasn’t in a good mood, either.
Strength/Oly
1) 15 min Snatch Balance Practice
2) 3 Power Snatch on the min x 7 minutes. Heaviest weight possible.
Still nursing that damn sore left shoulder, but I do seem to be on my way to recovery. I have my friend, Jay, to thank for that! And ibuprofen.
I had planned on doing weighted ring dips instead of snatch balance, but after warming up with the group snatch balance actually felt quite good. In fact, for the very first time ever I feel solid and secure with snatch balance, and even received a compliment from Michael Kelley. Michael Kelley says “alright” far too often “good job” far too infrequently. I worked up to 80#. For the 7 minutes of power snatches I did reps of 65, 70, 65, 70, 75, 75, and 80. I went down from 70 to 65, as my form wasn’t good on the first round of 70. Michael Kelley says I need to slooooow down. I bet he hears that quite frequently in bed.
The met-con included jumping pull-ups. That wasn’t going to happen. In addition, the met-con was supposed to be a 10-minute AMRAP, but the met-con didn’t start until 6:56. Two words: time management. I created my own met-con.
3 rounds for time:
30 box jumps, 24”
20 Russian kettle bell swings, 60#
I completed in 5:47.
I kinda sorta thinking about possibly running another marathon.
