So sore today. Lower back, rear delts, front of shoulders, everything.


Forgot to eat breakfast but had 2x espresso.

Meal #1: salmon, butternut squash with ghee and cinnamon, guacamole

Meal #2: Chicken, curry, coconut sauce, lemongrass, broccoli. I feel a little sluggish though, feeling like there might have been sugar in that sauce. Oops.

*there was definitely sugar in there. I felt very sluggish and sleepy after eating it. Oh well, on to the next one.
Snack: 2 hardboiled eggs when I got home from work

Meal #3 (8:30ish): 6 ounces of chicken sauteed in ghee, salsa and avocado on top, bell peppers


Training:

Horrid.


1000m row
50 burpees
50 box jumps, 20"
800m run
50 box jumps
50 burpees
1000m row

30 minute time cap. I got through 10 of the 2nd set of burpees. I have never been so fatigued and destroyed. WTF. Everything felt horrible except the row. At least I was able to rep the box jumps.

Welp, this is another one to try at the end of the summer since it's all body weight stuff.

Nancy WENT. It was not my day.

First of all, i was all set to go with my running and my OHSs after watching the 5:30 group basically kill it on all counts. But then I ended up being by myself at 6:30, which is no fun because I'm competing against myself, and myself is a lazy ***.

THEN it started to rain and lightning, and Greg and I were like, okay rain and lightning + giant metal bar overhead is probably a bad decision. So we lugged all the bars upstairs and I commenced to my sub: 500 meters rowing for each 400 meter run. KILL ME NOW.

So I did:

For time, 5 rounds
500 meter row
15 OHS, 45#

I made it through one round and started to get dizzy/blurry vision and numb hands after the OHS. Maybe I was holding my breath too long or something, but it was no good. Fought through the next couple rounds but my rests were SO long between OHS and rowing while I tried to make the spots in front of my eyes stop. Finally Greg told me we were capping it at 25 minutes.

4 rounds=24:40

Ugh. Oh well, as Greg said, it was still 25 minutes of hard work. My poor arms were sore from thrusters the other day, and I know they'll be crying tomorrow. At least I know that my showing HAS to be better next time right?

Moral of the story, I think rowing is way harder than running.
