Deck of cards how I have missed you!

This WOD felt great although I had to do my Jokers at the end for time, I still managed a 2 mile run after it was all said and done. Chris did well and pushed thru it. I am a little sore today but nothing too brutal. Tonight should be fun!

And here we go...

No class tonight means a night in the gym for a little WOD. I felt great thru the whole workout. I should have upped the speed on the treadmill to get my time a little more respectable but still happy with the 21 min time and the good sweat this workout brought on.
For time
Run 800 meters
50 pullups
Run 600 meters
50 pushups
Run 400 meters
50 hanging leg raises
Run 200 meters
50 squats

Ugggh I have dropped the ball...

It has been a minute since I dropped by and let you all know whats going on in my quest for the perfect workout. No excuse really but with classes and life, sometimes things just get pushed to the side. I will try to stay vigil. 
The last few weeks brought an ending to the program Chris and I were on. My PR's were all better then ever but with that came some serous soreness and pain. The body does not like lifting these numbers. Nope, no sir not one bit. Now that we are done with that I want to get back into some Crossfit WOD's and after the first few I jumped on I can really tell my stamina is seriously lacking. Strength is there but the ability to keep up after a couple rounds...well you get the idea. 

Last week Dan and I went down to the park for a quick and easy WOD. 
3 Rounds for time.
10 pullups
15 pushups
20 squats
Run 1/4 mile
Yeah winded... gas?? None of that but still a good WOD to kick things off. 

Saturday I went in before work and took on this beast
21-15-9 Reps of the following with a 1/4 mile run in between each round.
135lb deadlift
135lb clean and jerks
135lb push press
I finished with a time of 30 mins and some change. I REALLY felt this one the following day(s)!

Yesterday went to the gym with Chris and Dalton to complete this
5 rounds for time
15 reps 185lb deadlift
15 reps toes to bar
Finished with a time of 12 mins and change. Chris knocked it out in 18 mins and change. Got to give props where its due. Chris tackled this like a boss. After my WOD I hit a 2 mile run for 17:45 time. 

I look forward to getting back into the Crossfit regimen and hopefully my body will agree with me.
