I did like the flow and movements.  The difficulty of the box jumps was good.  I had to concentrate and push to get these done right.

Man getting back into this has been rough.  Tonight put the hammer on me again.  No puking but my brain was fried.  No oxygen.  I was a mess for quite a while.  I had myself talked into stopping after round 4.  Nathan P. yelled at me that last round was coming.  I hit the floor.  He said you know you can do this.  Pride kicked in and I got to my feet and got it done.  Thanks brother.  Not to mention there was 15 of my kids in the weightroom doing abs.  I could not sissy out on that last round.

Workout number one since state cross country post.  To put it mildly I had a rough day.  5 rounds was my goal.  I had to tell myself I was going to get 3 rounds.  I threw up after round one.  By the pull-ups in round 3 I was dryheaving every time my chin went over the bar.  I hit the trash can and threw up several times after I finished.  Today was rough.

In early with Daniel.  I was beat from my two workouts yesterday.  I did like this WOD and it's flow. I did a backward roll out of the rack after the sit-ups to the KB Swings.  This helped the flow too.

PM WOD Hill Repeats on bike

Kellen came over and we hit it on the bikes this afternoon.  Up the big hill by the house to where it flattened out.  Then back down and the small hill on the other side.  That was one.  Starting point for each was the top of the bump between both hills.

We did a 1/2 mile warm up.  Then 5 repeats.  Then a 2 mile cool down, slow pedaling.

This put a hurt on me.  By the end I was weaving all over.

Legs are shot!

Runnin'

Kids did 1/2 on roads and 1/2 on grass today.  Kids were on grass barefoot.  We finished up on the baseball field.  When we got there I decided to run bare foot with the kids.  I can't remember the last time I ran this far with out stopping and at that pace.  I eased into the pace and continued to drop pace as I went.  I covered 2 miles on the grass bare foot.  We shall see how my back responds.  I went 1 mile turning left and 1 mile turning right.  Felt great.  By the last lap Jacob said I was down to 5:50 pace and the last 200 I dropped the hammer and the boys said we were sub 5 pace.  It was fun my last mile Jacob and Nathan ran with me stride for stride.  My feet are sore and I am tired.  Just have to see what my back says over the next few days.

Rock moving (again) ;-)

One of these times I will post a picture.  The rocks seem to be getting bigger and bigger.

Rope was run under one pull-up bar and then across power clean area to another rack one down.  Wrapped over the pull-up bar and pulled over by knot with a safety bar and secured with another.  So we were traversing across the area.  Had to keep feet off of ground.  We went forward to the 1/2 way pt then turned and went backward.  This was rough but a blast and fun to finish the end of each round on.
Hurt my back pretty badly on the lateral bench step ups.  I got out of position on my way down on set one second rep.  Back sinched up and was in pain the rest of the time.  Writing this 10 hours later and I am still in serious pain.  I think this is just the perfect storm.  I have felt this coming and I am surprised it has not come sooner.  I have been sore and just got better by the next day.  Between working on the deck all summer with the constant bending over, pouring cement carrying all the bags of concrete and running in the CC CrossFit workouts I guess I have just been on borrowed time.  Took ALIEVE today.  Hope I improve fast.

8/29/15 rocks and clean up

Woke up early to move the massive rocks out of the trailer.

Worked on the garage the rest of the day.

I had no strength today.  Moving these huge rocks was miserable.  It has been a long time since I have felt this way.  Think I am due for a down spell.  Sucks.  I am down to 185.

Covered 4 miles at a nice solid pace this morning.  Had a decent sweat going.  Trying to flush the system.  I am still pretty beat from yesterday.

Cement, rocks, rocks, huge rocks, massive rocks .......

Moved the cement bags from trailer to the concrete pad.  Then drove trailer over to the in laws house to get rocks for our landscaping.  I am beat!  My grip is fried and my low back is toast.

Begging for the routine again

As usual my grip is fried.  I always forget how much tire flips hammers my grip.  I could tell by my splits that I was breaking down.  Daniel I think stayed consistent.

Hodgepodge

Tuesday we went camping and got 2 man kayaks so solid shoulder work.  Yesterday's workout.

Then today several kids and my coaches took the wooded trail and I was on the asphalt.  So of course I missed them.  I dropped the hammer looking for them.  Pedaled a hard 6 and covered 8 plus.  Did some of the drills and a few build ups with the kids too.

Mountain bike riding w/ my girls on Little Sac trails

It was a little rough on the girls.  New Mtn bikes with larger frames and wheel bases.  The girls struggled on the technical stuff.  There was quite a bit of frustration.  Things will get better.  We covered I am guessing 10 to 12 miles on trails today.  Legs are pretty tired.  Braums ice cream and root beer floats after made it all better.

Forgot to post the best part of the day.  Emily got a flat with a mile to go.  I put her on my huge bike and ran the rest of the way in pushing her bike so we did not destroy the rim.

Concrete!

July 28 and July 30th

Poured pads of concrete.  I have another to get done today.  Carrying and lifting 80lbs bags I did not think was getting me but today after I taught the class and got home I crashed so I am posting the work.  So far carrying bags of 80lbs concrete = 5,280lbs.

Weird development today.  I hurt my left wrist on the dips.  It feels awful.  Hopefully it just tracked wrong and things will improve in the next day or so.  I also just woke up from a nap.  I woke up a few times and felt like I had just been beat up.  80 lbs bags of concrete are hammering me.

SOD CUTTING = death

Rented a sod cutter today.  In possession for 24 hours.  Which means get everything done in one day. Nathan and Spencer came over to help move the cut sod and shovel.  5 hours of running this machine and lifting sod and shoveling.  I drank roughly a gallon of water and 2 power aids.  For the next few hours my body was beat up.  This machine beat the tar out of me.

Have been working out side the last week.

Lots of days working outside.  Extreme heat.  Nothing terribly awful just normal stuff working in deck.  Sweating buckets.  Back is sore from all the lifting.

I had a case of the shakes after this.  Also I seemed to loose my balance several times over the next few hours too.  Must have been dehydrated a bit.  The last 2 rounds I really opened up on the return run.  Racing Emily and her group.  It was fun.

Something new

Total time w/ rest - 24:57

This was a rough one.  I could feel how tough it was only during the push press / pull-ups.  For several hours and really for the rest of the day I was drained.  Surprisingly difficult.  This was the first time we have done the push press / pull-ups.  Daniels creation today.  Loved these but hated them.  We moved the safety bars up.  The bar was just low enough to get off the rack.  1 rep was a push-press, rack the bar, then lift feet and complete a pull-up on same bar.  This hammered me.  Second round I struggled to get the bar to the rack.  Crazy because this is a very manageable weight.  By round three I would shake my arms out after each set and on.  This helped.  I also was finishing the PP up on my toes so I was guaranteed to rack the bar.  Might try these as a thruster element one day.

Did not take splits today.  Pushed hard on the timed stuff.  Pretty much headed straight out coming off the pull-up bar for the run.  Maintained a good clip on the run.  Coming into the weight room after the run was the only part I did not rush on.  I took time to get my gloves on for the bag.  I would also wait for the timer to get back to start the next minute.  So rest ranged from one minute to almost two depending on when I rolled in the weight room.

AM - WOD - Kayak on the lake

Took dad's Kayak out this morning.  More just to test its comfort level but I did get a workout in.  Did the following.

Did a 1 min on 1 min off workout
Set my count down timer for 60 seconds and headed out.  Paddling hard for 1 minute then resting for 1 minute.  Got out almost to the end of the point in the main channel.

I think I did 6 rounds of paddling out and 6 back.  Kind of lost count.

Finished into the shore.  Paddled back out about 50 yards and jumped in for a cool down swim.
