Sprinting out the door on quite possibly the warmest day in 3 months for 'Meg-A-Tron'.
Strange- Ive lost some posts. I know there were 2 on the phone- but cannot find them anywhere! Dammit. Thursday had a wicked WOD for the normal classes that I sorely skipped but was strong on the endurance:
Thursday Partner WOD
In teams of 2 complete:
Row 1000m
40 Wall Balls
Row 800m
30 Wall Balls
Row 600m
20 Wall Balls
Row 400m
10 Wall Balls
Paul and I rocked it- felt really good on the rows. It seems I can get a higher M/s with shorter rows, but my overall time is only about the same. Need to work on the technique. Ben gave some good advice- I was overextending on the return and not letting the chain reset-Must take that little pause for maximum efficiency.
Friday's WOD:
500m Row
60 Air Squats
50 Double Unders
40 OH Walking Lunges 45/25# plate
30 Pushups
20 Abmat Situps
10 HSPU
5 Muscle Ups
1 Rope Climb 15’
Felt awesome -did it in 11:47 except for the Muscle ups/had to do it with pushups.MU's they just elude me. I did do some research last night on helpful hints. Guess I'll need to do more negatives and weighted pullups and dips. It seems like my weakest part is the transition. Did find a great primer on BeastSkills last night.
Saturday was a blast for 'Megatron' Meg's 30th Bday workout:
8 rounds
200m sprint
3 Squat cleans 135(RX 165)
6 Pullups
9 Knees to elbow
The running felt great! very fast w/ lots of wind in my lungs. #135 felt heavy but doable- definitely need to practice knees to elbows- there seems to be a lack of reach getting the knees to touch my elbows.
The paleo diet seems fine- 2.5 weeks in. Am no longer ravenous-much more sated. Started to feel a touch more calm- one might even say slightly melancholic- over the past few days- no energy spikes but much less enthusiastic to get to chores around the house. Having a raccoon kill and bury a chicken on the porch was not exactly thrilling- but at least got them all in the coop safe and sound with a light. Hopefully get them laying again to offset the 4 dozen eggs a week we are purchasing.
