Friday 11-12

TGIF
woke up with a sore and dry throat at about 2 am. argh. little aqua and back to sleep. up again before the alarm and rolled over. waited for the alarm to start my day. throat a little better when i got up but still scratchy.

treadmill
run 2 miles
14:50
really getting the groove of the vibrams now. felt much more natural and the calves aren't begging for mercy. seem to be shaking it out. feet still adjusting a little. got some rub marks and calluses developing but that seems only natural.
looking like the turkey trot in the VFF might be a reality.

strength
turkish get ups
did these with dumbell's as the kettle bells are not heavy enough

35
45
55
65

35 and 45 were pretty much warm up. 55 felt a little heavy on the left side. 65 was pushing it. got both. think i have 70/75/80 in me but wanted to move on to the met con. have to start a little heavier and move up more.
really digging this movement. incredible.

met-con
5 rounds
7- 135# push press
7- 24" box jump
15- kettlebell swings 35#
10- chest to deck push ups

this was a beast! the push press was heavy and hard. rx'd weight on the swings was 53 but used the heaviest i had and added 5 reps. jumps and push ups were just a matter of fighting thru the fatigue.
after the 3rd round i was finished. mentally done. didn't think i had 2 more rounds in me.
got back to the bar, cleaned it up and pushed out 5, put the bar down, got back under, cleaned and pushed out 2, moved on to the jumps... last round was the same.
fought thru a major mental wall this am. felt awesome to want with all of everything to quit but push on and finish and finish pretty strong.
amazing. very pleased with that part of my performance.
13 minutes on the wall clock +/-

foam roll
stretch

off to the shower. cashed out.

TGIF!

looking like a super weekend ahead!! going to get out and play in the vff's!
