Mom & Son WOD

Today I got out on my bike for 55 minutes...16.5 miles of mostly rolling hills. It was hot out.

I knew when Hagen got home from school, he would want to do a WOD that Max gave him. I was planning on doing it with him. It was supposed to be a TT run around the Farms course, but he didn't like that one. I told him that I had to do a 400M run, 50 squats and 10 burpees (x4) WOD, but just hadn't gotten to it. He was up for it so I told him I'd do it with him. Much easier with company. Well, he put me to shame. We went to the HS track (it was probably 10 degrees hotter there + the girls soccer and cross country teams were practicing...but he still wanted to do it).

I hung in on the 1st run and then he squats a lot faster than I do, so by the end he was about 100 meters ahead of me. My time was 16:45...his was 16:14. It was a good workout and I enjoyed the company!

thrusters = shaky

10 minute elliptical warm up
WOD #1 - 50 40# Thrusters for time...broke them into 10s. Time was 4:14 Can't believe how much my legs start to quiver fairly early on in something like this...good feeling to know it's working.
WOD #2 24 x :20/:10 rest of treadmill tabata - held 6:58 pace

10 pull ups with heavier weight on gravitron, 2x12 crunches and 2 sets of extensions.

Pool - 1500 feeling it out...Warm up with 8x50's kick/swim on 50/55 and then 5 x 100's stroke.

fri-sun

FRI. 31.7 miles...2 hours of riding. So nice to think out there and just enjoy the weather and scenery...purposely picked a lovely ride which would be a quiet one. Up 309 - 179 - Granville Rd to Lost Acres (little piece of heavenly ride) - to 189 and detoured off East St. to Wells back to 189 and up 20, Firetown to home.

SAT. - rest day

SUN. - Was hoping to run to the track and then do a WOD there, but as I was running, I saw that there was a soccer game happening - so plan B was to go for run that ended up at home (the Stratton Brook run) which was 30.20 min -3.5 miles and then do a WOD there. Picked a tabata (16 min - 8 each of 20 sec on/10 off) and made up my own: push ups, jump ropes, situps and knees to elbows. Totals: 76, 397, 86, 69.

back to pool

So sore today...can't believe how my legs feel. Went to the pool to see if I could loosen them up...nope, didn't work. Probably didn't help that I gardened and mowed for 4 hours -long time bending over, standing and walking. Anyway, workout was 800 swim, 200 kick w.u. followed by 8x50's on 1 min - 2 of each stroke. Mainset: 6x150's pull - 2 on 2:30, 2 x 2:20 and 2x2:10..held between 2 and 2:05. Last set was 3x100's kick with fins and a warm down.

Thought I'd get in a bike today sin

ce it was gorgeous out, but legs are wiped...will try tomorrow. : )

free - laaadeeedaaa

No going to the gym when I can just run about freely...set off after the bus left, laundry folded, vacuumed and dishes put away. Legs were sore from squats yesterday (big surprise), but went for a 6.4 mile run. Time was pretty slow 59.54, but felt okay until around mile 4 when the feet started hurting and so did the quads.

Last day...

of trying to fit in workouts when kids are home. It can be difficult at times just to find an hour or 2 when you have to drive them somewhere every other hour....but I survived! Thank goodness for crossfit sessions.

As sad as I am that summer is already over, I know that we are all ready to get back into a routine!

Today, the WOD was what the kids did at Ironworks (I did it at home)...20 pushups, 40 situps and 60 squats to the ball x 4 with 3 minutes rest between each round. The times for each set were as follow: 4:12, 4:00, 4:04, 3:51. I think the first set was slower because I was not fully warmed up and the squats killed me. I thought I'd do some running after that, but fe getta bout it...no chance. Also, come to find out that my oldest 2 beat me....time to work harder. : )

5K row TT

Thought I'd swim, but ear is acting up. What is going on with me?

Got to the gym and hit the bike for a 10 minute warm up. Was not sure what to expect with the rowing. Set the 5K mark and off I went. Total time was 20:59.1. That was 11 seconds slower than my best and given how I feel lately, I was happy with the time.

Cool down - some planks and stretching.
