Sunday...did a workout as it turns out....

I have been working on my kitchen all weekend and didn’t get in to work out at BX…so today I did an old home version of Elizabeth that subs push ups for Ring Dips. Everyone knows how slow my pushups tend to be so I usually sub 1:1 and call it even.

21-15-9
Power Cleans 95#
Push ups

~10 minutes
I hit the wrong button on my cell phone stopwatch utility and the timer cleared but I think it was either right under 10 or right over it. I did the first 21 cleans in under 3 minutes. 2:45 I think.

I need to workout today but I'm doing tile work in the kitchen instead.

CrossFit Journal - click it!














This is a fringe benefit to the "one partner working at a time" stipulation on partner workouts.
















I need to lean out more but muscle is there....still.

FWD: ran a mile (9:17pr)

Missed class so I did an improvised workout based on class workout which was Partner Murph:

Ran a mile (9:17pr)
100 pushups (6:53 pr)
100 sit ups (5 somethin)
100 squats ??

Total time 26:23

FirmDancer - 21 March 2009 01:12 PM
LauraR - 21 March 2009 11:00 AM
Ran a mile (9:17pr)

Firmdancer: Did you just recently set a running PR? and now another one!

Yes, FD…I knew when I posted the 9:30 I had mentally not tried to run fast…I had 2 more miles to run. So today I tried to run faster and about halfway through had tired myself out and WALKED a good 15 to 20 steps…thinking I had killed my chance to beat 9:30. I checked the time before the last downhill stretch and the clock said 8:20. I sprinted down the hill hoping to beat 9:00 but was happy to beat the 9:30.

I will take that PR and break it soon…my 100 push up PR is by about 5-6 minutes….as GD predicted the Zone fixes a lot of things. I haven’t been 100% zoning but I have been a lot better. It’s showing in my workouts.

Diane - some ramblings about my PR

So I PR'd on my Diane time yesterday.

When I looked at my stopwatch after the first 21 deadlifts (which were broken) it was about 3.5 minutes in. I thought it wasn't too bad and that I might could finish up the workout in under 10 if I pushed.

My first round of HSPU were with my feet on a low box and with my hands as far in as I could do. Sets were broken, but I don't recall how much...it was about 5.5 minutes on the stopwatch when I fell headfirst off the box.

Still thinking under 10, if I could crank out 15 deadlifts and 15 HSPU...Pushed the form envelope a little on the DLs to get them out in two sets. Then the HSPU in 3 sets.

7ish by then.

Then I did the last round of DL 4, 3, 2. Did the HSPU in 5,3,1.

Stopped the watch at 10:20.4...and cursed!

Then I did a search on this blog and found my last time....18:43 I think in October of 08...and the time before that 19:39. I had been happy to break 20 on that one. LOL.

I guess the HSPU challenge and the Barbell cert really helped me. Oh and maybe my diet is helping too. ;) And GD's private coaching. Well I have a lot of good things to thank for that PR I guess.
