Training @ 6am:

*Sleep at 11:30 last night. Not ideal. Had a tall iced redeye on my way in, it got me going, but I really need to get to bed earlier. Oh well.


*Right side of my back and my left hip feel tight. Probably from volume this week. Getting a massage at 3:30 today, YES.

Hit the lax ball and foam roller, then did the group warmup. Include gastro/soleus stretch, 1min each leg, and 90/90 box stretch (which is when I noticed my left hip was tighter than my right)

1 minute single leg squat hold, each leg.

5 rounds
400m run
15 OHS @ 65#
=19:17

First time doing this totally RX'd! I'd done the RX'd weight before but only for 3 rounds. Really pleased that I got sub-20. Also made a committment to myself that each run would be unbroken, and they were - although they felt SLOOOOOOWWWWW. First three sets of OHS were unbroken. Could feel fatigue in my glutes from yesterday. Also was pinching something in my left hand that made it get tingly but a few hours later it seems to have gotten back to normal.

After the WOD I had ground turkey and pureed pumpkin w/ ghee.

Thursday.

Today my goals are:

Eat clean

Train

8 hours of sleep

Do laundry

Clean my closet

Write one outcome story
Take supplements
Drink 80 ounces water

I've accomplished:

Clean eating - Fasted til about 1:30, 2 cups of coffee in the morning. Broke fast with 4 Paleostix, about 1 cup strawberries, and one orange bell pepper eaten raw.

Training - happening at 5:30. AMRAP 20 minutes of 400m run/7 strict pullups/7 pushups. Going for 6 rounds with the light band or less rounds with the mini band. We'll see.

AMRAP in 20 minutes
400 meter run
7 muscleups (scaled to strict pullups, 2 mini bands/strict pushups)

= 5 full rounds + 1 run

What can I say? Was going for 6 full rounds but HOLY JEEZUS that last run felt like slogging through cement. Pullups and pushups felt super strong. Switched grips around with the pullups. Supinated especially felt awesome. I really need to be attached to someone fast with a leash during my runs because otherwise I just go so slooooooow.

Lots and lots of slow idiots on the sidewalks in my way though. That was a pain.

8 hours of sleep - 11:30pm-7:30am. Probably just under 8 hours but most importantly, specifically decided against training at 6am because I would only be getting 5 hours of sleep if that happened. Really trying to make sleep a big priority right now. 

Do laundry - about to start it!

Clean my closet - tonight. 

Write one outcome story

Take supplements- Resveratol, Vitamin D, Fish Oil, Natural Calm tonight. My brewer's yeast came in the mail today so I'll start on that tomorrow morning (I'm doing Liz's skin care suggested supplement program, trying to wean myself off the chemicals).

Drink 80 ounces water - on my 3rd Nalgene of the day so this will definitely happen.

I get by with a little help from my friends.

5/8/11 10am
In Washington Square Park

In teams of 4 complete:
4x400 m relay run (each member does 1 400m run)
400m walking lunges (total, each member does part of this)
400 double unders
4x400 m relay run

Worked with Todd, Jen, and Neha

First run felt great. Lunges, not so much. Legs are pretty smoked still. Double unders - did not contribute to this like I should've at ALL. 2nd run felt horrible. haha.

Total = 26:42

Perfect, perfect day outside. So happy to be there.

Nancy (5 rds of 400m run/15 OHS @ 65#)

First time trying this with the RX'd weight but I decided to stick to 3 rounds, just because I'm going to be in the gym a lot for the next couple of days before the wedding.

3 rounds in 14:08

Last time I did 5 rounds @ 45# in 20something, so I'm pretty sure I was on par to match that. OHS were no problem really, did all straight through. The heavier weight did a number on my legs though. The runs were sooooo slow.

After, I decided to try some heavier OHS just to see. Threw 85x3 up with no problem. Ready to go heavy.

GRACE (30 C&J @ 85#)
4:48

First time attempting this RX'd. Done in sets of 5. I feel great about this. RX's girl/benchmark workout COMPLETE.

"Grace"
30 power cleans + push jerks [from the floor w/ 75#]
=9:10

This was harder than I thought it would be. So yeah. I also am a little nervous that I lost count and maybe did a few less than 30.

9/8/10 6am @ CFCC
Sweet Potatoes & Whey + CINNAMON beforehand (OM NOM NOM)

Warmup: full body + some pec stretches, worked on my legs with the Stick.

Strength: Overhead Squat, Heavy triples
35x3, 45x3, 55x3, went for 65 and got this weird stabbing horrible pain at the base of my right pinky finger. Have commenced to googling this and will report back. I'm SO ****ED. I KNOW I can do SO much heavier with these. But I was really excited to get to do them again, I missed them.

Metcon: NANCY
5 rounds for time -
400 m run
15 OHS @ 45#
= 20:06

65# was RX'd - I could have done this. Effing finger. Next time. Was debating whether to even use the bar because of the pain in my hand but I seriously had to, mentally. Ugh.

HOWEVER. I finished it! Last time I did Nancy, it was a world of suck, and the OHS's were what did it. Blurry vision, numb hands, etc. This time the OHS was the EASY part. DAMN THE HAND. The runs were just...you know. Every time I was counting steps and trying to go faster but I am proud to say I did not ever stop! All runs unbroken. All OHS unbroken. Next time this **** is RXd baby.
