Catching up- April 20th

Oops- I somehow totally fell off my workout tracking program! I figure it's better to get back into now chalk up the last few weeks to a "minor oversight."

Sunday-
Gorgeous weather in San Francisco. Did about an 8 mile run in the 85 degree weather. Perfect.

Saturday-
Short run before working out at SF Crossfit. Felt tired / flat
Crossfit:
30 minute thorough warm-up
work up to heavy back squat
5 rounds of the following (not for time):
3 back squats (105#)
max pull-ups
max push-ups
max dips

Round 1:
3 x 105# back squat
7 pull-ups
25 SLOW chest to the group push-ups
5 unassisted dips

Round 5:
3 x 105# back squats
4 pull-ups
15 push-ups
1 dip

Rounds 2,3,4 were somewhere in between!

Following the workout I spend the day walking around the city with my mom, probably 6 miles or so. Great recovery!

Thursday
1:00 before and after working out with Kelly S.
5 rounds:
- holding 2 20# weights
-hold one weight in the rack position, other arm is locked out overhead, 1 lunge left, 1 lunge right, switch arms

20 - lunges
15 - knees to elbows

I think the whole thing was around 16 minutes. The lunges were much tougher than anticipated due to having to stabilize with 20 pounds overheads.

Saturday through Wednesday...

I am working on posting daily but old habits die hard!

Saturday-
still felt a bit flat, 1 hour run only

Sunday-
awesome bike ride with Sam. Only about 45 miles but it felt great to be back on the road. eCycling is definitely helping!

Monday-
Awesome 1:00 run at lunch. I did the "stairs" of SF- Coit Tower, Lombard St. and Lyon Street starting from my office downtown. One of those rare days when everything felt good and I finished about 5-10 minutes faster than I normally do for that route.
6pm- OHS workout with Angel. The goal was to work up to 15 OHS using body weight. I did 5x3 with 75#. Still have a way to go before the bodyweight OHS but I'll get there.

Tuesday-
1:40 eCyclign class with Charlie. Lots of Zone 4 work. Great workout.

6pm- "Oympics" with Kelly S. I should probably have skipped this one. I felt SUPER flat and hungry during the whole session. 1 minute max reps of- seated presses, deadlifts (35#), jumping goblet squats (35#), line touches, sit-ups, push-ups and 2x400 meter run...

Wednesday-
OFF
