Thursday 10-21

little sluggish this am. thought about rolling over but glad i made the right decision.

treadmill
run 5k
23:10
started with a 7:45 pace and moved it up from there. much faster than previous runs of that distance.
happy about this and it plays to the fact that i need to readjust my speed on the treadmill. also speaks to the fact that i run faster outside. i think the perceived effort outside is much different than on the treadmill.
will try to get more outdoor runs in before it gets really cold.

no strength warm up today. felt good after the run and wanted to get in the CFI met-con
met-con

Crossfit Ignite Chipper
50- box jumps
40- kettlebell swings
30- burpees
20- sit-ups
10- r/l kettlebell snatch
20- sit ups
30- burpees
40- kettlebell swings
50- box jumps

used a 24" box and the 35lb kettlebell a that's the heaviest available.
17:00 on the wall clock. gotta get a gym timer.

felt pretty good on this. focused on keeping a "quiet mind". progress thru the movements piece by piece. bite off each piece as it comes and move thru. don't get caught up in what you have left to do only what you are immediately tasked with.
i was never a fan of this kind of workout but have come to understand the mental toughness element to it and hence-force appreciate it even more.

for not feeling much like getting up this am it was a great session.

thursday? well better than monday.....

peace!
