Saturday - Run 5K 30:59

I ran in the Race For Autism in Balboa Park (http://nfar.org) with some of the Partners from Jason's store. However, I did not beat 30:00. It's sad when you complain about your time and everyone goes "errrr...that's a good time, what are you complaining about??"


30:59 official time.
9:58 pace
12th out of 26 in my age division

1st mile at 9:37.
2nd mile at 19:45 (10:08 mi)
3rd mile at 30:59 (10:14/1.11 mi)

....third mile....choked on the uphill. I think i need to do some big loop hill sprints.


I have already made a date with the Carlsbad 5k. I will do it. In 30 minutes or less.

Summary 3/17-23

Saturday - Brand X Kilt Day Workout - 37:59
Monday - 1 mile - 8:55 + CrossPit
Wednesday - Rowing/Wall Ball (1000m/50/750m/35/500m/25) 24:04

Friday - 5 Rounds 5 Thrusters 70#/10 tire hops/10 pull ups 10:25

Friday - a Coach Martin workout

Missed Fran -- late to Connor's class. So Jeff gave me this to do:

5 rounds
70# Thrusters x5
Tire hops (Jump into tire, jump out =2) x10
Pull ups x 10

Pull ups and thrusters unbroken.
10:25

It felt good. I tried to keep the jumps fast without too much of a pause in the center of the tire. The thrusters were hard but I didn't put the weight down, but I did pause before picking up the bar after the pull ups.

Thursday - Push Press x3 @100#, 5x9 Push ups/Thruster

Did a two-fer out of sympathy for GD's next three days.

ME
Push Press 3-3-3-3-3-3-3
75-75-80-85-85-95(f)-95-100

After that, 65# thrusters seemed like cake! Well, for the first two rounds of the following, anyway:

5 rounds for time
65# thruster x 9 -- all rounds UNBROKEN.
Push up x 9 -- all rounds broken.

about 10 minutes but not exactly sure. Accidently stopped the clock for one round instead of starting a new "lap". grrrr.

4 rounds in 7:27 - add about 2 minutes for the third round that was not timed.

1 mile - 8:55 + CrossPit

Before Crosspit, I ran a mile in 8:55.

Improved over my last time of 9:32

Determined to break 8:00.

CrossPit was awesome (http://crosspitgirls.blogspot.com)

Skill work was punching combos, hooks and using the hook right out of the clinch. Workout was my "favorite":

1 minute punching
1 minute sprawls, pushups, squats
for five rounds.

Then inside defenses.

Quotable quotes:
Sifu Dan: "Come on, Laura, you look like a girl!"

Jason: "Mary, stand your ground, don't let her back you up like that!"

Jason to Mary: "Are you going to let her get that close? Hit her in the face!"
Me: "He hates me."

Mary: "They're really on your ass all the time, aren't they....do you pay extra for that?"

Jason: "Which one of you two wants to throw punches at me...Mary?"

Me: "Thanks, for kicking my ass." jason: "You're welcome!"

Thursday - Diane 155#/HSPU 20:09

Hello! Yes I am still here. Took a couple days off. Couldn't stand it any more and since the WOD was ME deadlifts I decided to do a ME Diane.

This is 60# heavier than my last Diane.

21-15-9
155# Deadlifts (BW 150)
HSPU

20:09

Deadlifts were really broken but did many sets of 3 with my bodyweight. HSPU were as far down as I could get and still get back up. Depth degraded as the workout progressed.

And for your viewing pleasure this picture was taken right before I started CrossFit. Wow. I felt pretty good about my figure batck then. It just goes to show that there's always room for improvment.

Time for a bit of a rest

I really do think I need to ease off for active rest. Thinking of coming in for CrossPit monday, then off tue-fri (or light efforts at home)

Kilt workout a MUST. ;) Anyway.

Will sched a CrossFit Total with Kim for next wed. I am very pleased with most of my times/weight in the last month. The 50-30-20 was not bad but wish I had got under 30. Still with all those damned double unders and push ups! LOL. I suppose I should have stuck with pack.

Wed WOD - 50-30-20 D-U,Push Up,Pull Ups As Rx'd

Run a mile 9:32
Wod as rx d. 34:47
---------------------------------------------
Jason's class did the WOD:

50-30-20
Double Unders
Push Ups
Pull Ups


Pack : 40-20-10 (can sub tuck jumps)
Puppies: 20-15-10 (can sub tuck jumps jumping pull ups, tire pushups)

Dan suggested that I mix in some tuck jumps with the double unders to keep up my metcon, but it just felt too much like .....I don't want to say cheating but I thought if I did tuck jumps I should be doing pack and I was too stubborn.

Sorry Dan. I'm bull headed

So somewhere in the 50's I did about 10 tuck jumps.

34:47 is not too bad I guess for 100 of each...that's about 12 minutes per 100. 18 minutes for the first round, same for the two smaller rounds.

Monday - CrossPit and Set of 30 Pull ups.

http://crosspitgirls.blogspot.com/2007/03/crosspit-3607.html

I did a set of 30 pull ups before crossPit!!!! Wooo!

Then some ring dips and some ring pull ups.

CrossPit: Ran a mile in stupid shoes. under 10 but not sure exactly. I bought new shoes but forgot to put them in the car this morning.

Then

12-9-6-3-6-9-12
Sprawls
15# 1 arm dumbbell snatches
Push ups

in 15 minutes I got through the last round of sprawls and 4 db snatches. DANG I wanted to finish it. It would have been under 18!
