So, I rushed around trying to complete chores-get/stack hay, move garbage, bring in firewood etc... in order to be ready for the 12-16" of snow expected tonight. Seems reminiscent of Valentines day storm from 2007:
Thankfully it held off till late. So the Endurance WOD for tonight was a nice, felt great.
8 rds each of 20secs on 10 off
Row
Push-up
Shuttle Sprint
Wall Ball
The object was to get the heart rate up and put in 90-100% effort as consistently as possible for 8 rds. I'm sure I was there & felt good only losing my breath & concentration once or twice. Stayed fairly consistent throughout once I settled down into a good pace. I felt like there was room to push and gas in the tank, which leads me to believe I'm not pushing myself quite as much as I can or should. I dont know Tabata, but when I get winded or loose my cadence... I feel like....

The StayPuft man battling Godzilla. Will need to break out the HRM next week to make sure the HR is far enough into the right zone. I wonder if my age will have some bearing on whether or not I'm pushing it hard enough? Will start tracking that next week. The wall balls seemed most difficult despite their slow cadence in such a small amount of time 8-10in 20 secs. Will need to figure out how to speed them up? Faster squats?
Afterwards- I was ready to start another WOD within minutes. My recovery time feels like it's getting shorter and shorter. The quad/calf/IT band smashes plus band work really loosened up the hips and legs. The knee gave me no problem at all. The only injury was that damn Abmat strawberry on my ass. Need to work on keeping ass end down, as I got tired started sliding off the mat.
'The Programmer' must be reading my mind- I want to work on HSPU and tomorrows strength piece is 3xME Strict. Food wise- I'm getting sick of eggs, need to mix things up and cut back on all these nuts. Am craving steak- maybe I can dig one up this weekend- a big 2" thick sirloin or ribeye rare. Mmm yeah that would do it.Yesterday, I grabbed some meatballs outa the freezer, cooked them up w/ onions and peppers and started chowing down only to realize they had some sugar added to them- they were so cloyingly sweet as to nearly make me gag. But damn they smelled so good. Strike one on the Paleo diet due to ignorance. They didn't have a label so I really could not have known-Gina had purchased them at one of the big box stores in bulk. Onwards and upwards.
