Sprints

10:45:
W/U: 800m jog
Stretch legs. Left one is still acting weird
2 rnds:
10 push ups
10 sit ups
10 feet narrow squats - I'm getting really good with squatting with a narrow base, but my chest is collapsing at the bottom
Some more stretching

Then:
4x400m run, descending recovery: 3min, 2min, 1min between 400s
1:52, 1:56, 1:58, 1:58

The times aren't where I would like them to be, but they're sub 2min which is excellent because the last time I did a 400 doing Helen last Thursday my first 400 was like 2:15 or something stupid slow like that. I also haven't eaten since yesterday, so going on about an 18 hour fast and still feeling pretty good. Weight is good, went from 150 yesterday to 147 today. It's crazy, I think back to January and February and even March and how I was dying trying to get into the 140's and now it's nothing and I'm working to be in the 130's. I also look at the pictures of myself back then and go "ewwwwww... wtfff was I thinkingggg...." Crazy how things and our perceptions change as time goes on.

Post run: 1 scoop Progenex Recovery.
PM WOD and thoughts to come in 3+ hours.

It's been awhile...

Well what can I say, it's been a CRAZY month! Absolutely insane. I don't even have words for the personal turmoil and growth I have gone through. Anyways, on to the good stuff: TRAINING! (Fair warning, I use military time)

15:00:
W/U 5min jog around ROTC building
2 rnds:
5 strict pull ups on 1" band
10 dips on bars
15 squats

Then:
~1000m run (pull ups bars, around ICI and back)
30 strict, underhand grip pull ups on 1" (kipped 4 after muscle failure)
~1000m run
18:03
Suck fest. Had two cups of coffee before this.

3 hour wait. Ate package of raw broccoli.

18:15:
W/U:
5min double under practice. Still not where I want them to be, but getting better
15 squats - really focusing on feet being close and pushing my knees out

Then:
Tabata sprints around Legacy lake and back in the dirt trails behind the apts
Jog back for a few minutes for recovery
Sprints felt good. Screwed up the timer the first two rounds so I actually did like 10 instead of 8. Not too bad. Left knee started pissing me off though, awkward pain.

Recovery post shower: 1 Tuna pack with Salt Free Mrs. Dash Lemon Pepper seasoning

20:00 1 cup black coffee.

Now I'm exhausted!
