I was feeling a little agitated all morning. Not sure if it was due to the extra cup of extra strong coffee, being couped up in the hotel compound or the utter anticipation *dread* of today's (Daddy-O inspired) WOD.
10 burpees, 800m run x 5 - 36 mins give or take*
*I turned off the watch at one point to find something for my knees during the pushup part of the burpees, as the mini towel wan't cutting it on the tiled floor. The burpees were HELL. I concentrated on form rather than time (those darn cross fit demo's) and I still had trouble making it look good. I vow to work on getting these down, and through 10 without stopping to regain my momentum.
On another note - Happy Birthday to Mini Mac! And 'birth'day anniversary to mom. I say mini mac, although I snuck a peak as ms hedda's other blog and he seems to be a full on combo. Lucky little man.

Press(ed) for time
Almost crushed by work, I managed to pry myself from underneath to score a 30-minute workout. Here's what I squeezed in:
skipping: Back in Black
chin-ups: 3, 3, 2, 2, 1
sit-ups (feet braced): 30
presses: 45 x 10, 7, 5 (time to up the weight, whoop!)
sit-ups (feet free): 20
back extensions: 15
burpees: 10 (OMG. These are hard. I seem to have to do them in slo-mo. How the heck do you get from the bottom of the squat to the plank in one mov't??? I'm apparently not nearly coordinated/flexible/strong enough to do so with any hint at grace...)
turkish get-ups: 10 lb x 20 (continuous, but alternating arms 5/5/5/5)
Quick stretch on vital bits (hams, hip flexors, pecs) and back in the cube in 50 min. Including shower.

30 by 5
warm uppish movement practice - vertical jumps: 10 sets of 1 rep.
30 burpees
30 thrusters
30 turkish get-ups
30 pushup position rows (what are these called again?)
30 v-sit rotations
Thrusters, TGU's, and the rows were with 25 lbs dumbbells. Except that I never would have finished the TGU's if I hadn't downgraded to 15 lbs after the first 8.
So, total time: 19:34. I was at 7:40 after the thrusters and 16:20 after the TGU's.
I guess I'll keep trying to do more reps with the 25 on the TGU's until I can do all 30 with 25. Or maybe not. I'm also considering increasing the weight or the reps on the rows.
