Always a busy time. Many things on the go. Had a birthday (46).
Have been doing the beep test. First time out, 9/6. Next time 10/3. Last time 8/3. Some sprints in the park, a few home WODs, 5K's (23:13 last time out) and games and practices.
Yesterday was a work out at home: 3 rounds of deadlifts (205) and a 450m run for time (1:30 or under). Walking rest in between rounds (finished walking the block). Then 3 rounds squat clean (135) + 5 front squats.

May now; cold
Tried to dive in hard on Monday:
Scaled the crossfit from 50 to 30 of: 30 calorie row, 30 24" over the box jumps, 30 deadlifts 135lbs (185), 30x 30lb thrusters, 30 dips, 30x 30lb thrusters, 30 deadlifts... see where this is going? I did, and at 19:35 after deadlift round 2, #15 I went right to a place to sit down and not throw up.
Started this with a mile run in 6:30. Borderline easy.
Today, a quick warm up then a 5K outside in 23:27. No stops.

As I Sit Eating Ikea Chocolate
Took Wednesday off last week, and on Thursday I planned a long slow run. It did not happen -a mile and a half in indigestion got the better of me and I had to stop running. No worries as I had push presses to work on.
Push press, 5, 5, 3, 3, 3, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1. Managed 85, 95, 95, 105, 115, 115, 115, 115, 115, 105.
Friday: warm up then 4 rounds squat, 225 x 6, box jumps, 30 inch x 12, 20kg overhead walking lunge x 25. rest ~ 2 min in between. Then deadlift, 225 x 5 x 3 sets, 3 x 400m run @ 16kph, 1 degree.

Grinder...Coffee!
Scaled a little from Sunday's WOD.
5 rounds for time of 800m run, 15 pull ups, 20 push ups. Time was 37:35 and all of it sucked. Kipping pull ups are finally working for me. Need chalk.

Exhausted Over the Weekend
Need to change up a few things given all this free workout time.
Today, scaled the WOD from yesterday. Starting with 1x 115 (not 185) squat clean and 10 push ups (not handstand push ups!!) then 2 squat cleans and 9 push ups and so on to 10 squat cleans and 1 push up. Well, I got to 8 squat cleans and realized the push ups were light and the cleans were retarded, so I did 10 push ups, 9 cleans, 10 push ups, 5 cleans (on the 10 round) and 10 push ups. That was a tough 25:35.
Row 2K to cool down. 3 rnds x 7 pull ups to finish.

Strength Endurance
Tuesday, 4 rounds of 6 Front squats @135 lbs -this was too light but I had to clean it from the floor because the rack was tied up, 12 walking lunges with 45lbs over head, 25 x20 inch box jumps. Took 1.5 minutes in between. Not a bad workout.
