162.8. Feeling crummy.
More discomfort and body aches from things other than yesterday’s workout. Don’t like getting sick. *sigh*
Food:
Lunch: 2 eggs and 2.5 slices of bacon.
Snack-y crap: A couple of small bits of halloween candy (It’s Almost Gone!!!) which admittedly helped me feel much better (sugar, refrigerated chocolate on a sore throat, sulky indulgence.
)…
Dinner: 2 eggs, 3 slices of bacon and one sausage link, some hash browns, french toast. Split a small sundae with the kids.
Workout:
Warm-up: 350m rowing (1:30ish), Double under practice
Strength work: Back Squat 3 – 3 – 3 – 1 – 1 – 1
15 (x5) warm up; 35kg – 40 – 45 – 50 – 55 PR – 60 PR - 65 PR – 67.5 OMG PRx3!!!! (I’d have done the happydance if I had the energy and time. ;D )
WOD:
- 21 – 15 – 9
- Clusters (50kg/35 Rx)
- Pull ups
- *goal time 6:00 – 9:00
- * cutoff time 12:00
Scaling: 20kg on the bar, green band for pull ups.
Time: 11:57! JUST under the wire.
Notes: Jennie is the one who decided I needed to start at 35kg. I wouldn’t have, given my own choice, but I’m glad I did.
My last 3-rep was 51.8? I’ve also recently managed a Front Squat at 55. I was content thinking of hitting 55 today, myself. XD She believes that next time ’round, I can hit 70 if I don’t clutter up the start of my sets by going too light and wasting effort. She could be right… I’m looking forward to the chance to try.
(72kg = current BW Back Squat!!)
Stuff:
Did feel better after hitting the WOD. Couldn’t believe the PR’s!! Or the general improvement. This workout was referred to as “Like Fran, but with extra Suck.” I must agree.
My old Fran time was 17:03, with 25kg on the thrusters and a black band for pullups. Today the weight was a bit lighter but used for more work, I used the green band, and I still managed to drop a LOT of time. Enough dropped time that I don’t think using 20kg vs. 25kg really figures into the equation a whole lot.
Still feeling kind of ‘sick’ – it’s that ‘off’ sensation in the back of the throat, and a dull feeling through the neck and some of the base of the skull and behind the eyes that seems to imply ‘swollen’ but doesn’t seem to actually BE swollen… argh.
Tired. Needing a good, full night’s sleep. Last several have been a bit broken. Going to be a long day tomorrow, but I am holding out hope that the evening will be punctuated by a large quantity of beef. XD As long as my plans don’t go awry, I think it will work out. Wish me luck?
