plurpee's? burpee/pull-ups oh the fun!

good morning! and what a wake up call this was!
rolled out and fired up the blackberry to check today wod.
100 burpee pull-ups for time! yikes! apparently this is affectionately call GI Jane!
well i guess it could have been worse. not a huge fan of burpees but i do love me some pull-ups!

warm-up
run on treadmill

run felt good this am and i almost stayed at it for a couple for miles but decided that the shins/knees could use a little break.

skipped the strength warm-up as the burpee-pull-ups pretty much cover it.

started out with a decent pace. i realize that this is a met-con for time and should be done all out but 100 reps of anything deserves a little pacing. felt surprising good doing these. don't get me wrong they hurt like hell and bring the pain fast. had to lose the ipod as it got annoying bouncing around. almost took off my glasses as they were sliding around a little as well.

here's the break down

took about a 20-30 sec break in between sets after the 15.

only had the wall clock for time and it was sup 20 minutes give or take. i definitely paced these but also worked hard and got them all done. at 50 i figured i would be 75 and out but soldiered on! psyched about that. felt very strong on the pull up and as my burpees arent the smoothest or fastest i was happy with the workout over all. definitely a hurter!

so its wednesday! middle of the week. still stressed but dealing with it. argh.
leaving sunday for florida. bringing the running shoes and will get a few road workouts in hopefully. will be on my feet all day so we'll see what happens. will hope to hit it hard the rest of the week just in case.
