ONE MORE WEEK...

Today was my last official training run.. Just to sort of get the legs moving.. Ended up doing a bunch more.. Just cuz I am weird.

I jogged 5.8 miles from my house, up to BC.. through the Newton Hills (down them, the other way is gonna be a lot worse next week).. up to Newtonville and back to the gym..

I ended up rowing a smooth 2K when I got there in about 8:30.. just to keep moving.. I was feeling froggy so I decided to do the strength work.. 5 sets of max pull ups.. I did 16-10-7-9-8 for my sets.. with totally varying rests.. I was sort of half walking around the room looking at other people throughout and never kept track.. 2 minutes rest on the nose each time would have been harder than what I did..

I watched the first heat do the WOD Lock & Load and decided I could muscle through it just to add one more thing to the day.

I also realized that this WOD is different than what I called Lock & Load back around Thanksgiving.. It used to be 3 RFT of swings, high pulls and push ups.. Today I somehow made it into 3RFT of swings, hand release push ups, and then high pulls..

The re-ordering and the addition of hand release made this approximately 10 times worse.. and added a minute to my time.. I was also pretty tired from the hour of running and the pull ups.. sue me..

I need to figure out what the hell else I want to do this week for training.. I am going to take it easy for the most part, not high volume heavy lifting, and no long endurance stuff.. I will probably do the 1 RM C&J on Wednesday morning, and work a bunch of mobility.. Besides that I am probably mostly going to do some rowing and some other upper body stuff like presses, muscle ups, etc. and save my legs the trouble of getting too beat up.. No box jumps, no sprints, and no lunges for this kid..
