5000m run

28:04

The heat index was well over 100 today, therefore, I opted out of doing any type of METcon at the Crossfit gym. I did however, get a 5k run in around 9 p.m. It was still hot and extremely muggy, but I got through it. Hopefully I will be back hitting the weights tomorrow.

Saturday, July 9th

5000m run

Time: 27:41

It was extremely hot today, and my brother and I ran at 2 in the afternoon, not real sure how smart that was. Either way, I felt better after this run than I did the first, it was a little slower, but I'm ok with that. I'm taking a rest day from the weights. I did not run in the ridiculously looking running shirt, but the picture makes me laugh

Friday, July 8th

30 squat cleans (95lbs)
30 wall balls
* 3 rounds*

2 round 3 reps: 18 min.
This workout won. My lower back tightened up starting in the first round, I worked through the second round, but the third round I was just unable. This is the first WOD I was unable to complete. I'm pretty disappointed, but it happens. I may take a rest day tomorrow, who knows

Thursday, July 7th

5000 m run

Time 27:17

This is my first run of any sort of distance in who knows how long. I'm not going to lie, it sucked. Its not physically as demanding, its just the thought of having to keep running, which is boring, for a period of time. Hopefully, as I get physically stronger, I will mentally too.

13 Box jumps (24in)

* 12 min AMRAP*

3 rnds 5 reps

I was flying through this workout for the first 3 rounds. I had 5 min. left when I finished my 3 round, I knocked out 3 handstand push-ups and then I got stoned. I pushed-up about 1/2-3/4 of the way on three of four handstand push-ups but couldn't get to the top of them. My shoulders were just tired. I gave it what I had, but I'm pretty disappointed in myself. Muscle endurance is still pretty bad, but I'll keep at it!

Tuesday, July 5th

20 wall ball sit-ups (20lb ball)

20 burpees
200 m run
** 5 rounds **

Time 23:35

Today wasn't too bad on the lungs, but the shoulders were on fire. I had to take breaks to let my shoulders rest just to get enough strength behind the throws to get the ball up to the target line. Burpees are always terrible, but managable. Back at it again tomorrow.
