Monday & Tuesday wrap up.

Tuesday:

Oh boy, Cindy or Mary today and I don't know if its a good thing that my quads are going to get another hit. I chose Mary though due to the fact that I need more hand stand practice and those pistols are a difficult movement and even tougher in just socks.

My warm-ups are great and really help my sore muscles to loosen up though I think these past few days have given me quite the beating. My hands are all torn up, squats & a run really helped to tighten up the quads but atleast my shoulders are in descent shape. Today was a tough and long day at work. Lots of shoveling & 10 hours of non-stop hard work made for a tired Aaron. Plus when I got home I was starving and had another big snack which I could feel settle into the pit of my gut and slow me right down.....ughhh

Warm-Up:

skip
30 push-ups
50 thrusters
30 pull-ups
50 x 20 dumbell clean & jerks
30 ring dips

Good 30 min stretch plus another 30 dowel overhead squats.

Mary:
# of rounds in 20 min of:

5 handstand push-ups
10 pistols, alternating
15 pull-ups

Total: 13 rnds + 5 HSPU + 10 Pistols + 2 Pull-ups

Not bad and I beat my last personal best. I'm really looking forward to a rest day tomorrow!


Monday:

Two posts today for the price of one and the week is just flying by. The site WOD on Monday was a good ole 5 km run and I knew from the moment I laid eyes on it that all those squats on Sunday were a not the best thing to do the day before. Oh well, i'm just glad that pull-ups aren't involved as my blisters could definitelly use some rest

5 km Run: 22 min 42 sec

I had an excellent run through Creston with a cool temperature to keep the heat off. For some reason I thought that it wouldn't take me nearly as long as previous experiences, perhaps I thought that way because of all the down hill slopes. In the end though, everything I ran down I had to run back up but now that I'm more familiar with this course I know that I can push myself a bit harder, hopefully shave a minute off. Sub 20 would be even better!
