Training Log: Entry 2389

EARLY AM WORKOUT

50 minute walk w/45lb weight vest

Notes: First 20 minutes was leisurely walk with the dogs, then dropped them off and went for a more brisk walk on my own.  Was supposed to get my 80lb vest yesterday, but all that arrived was the weights: no vest.  Frustrating but not unexpected: second time CAP Barbell biffed the order.  That'll teach me to deal with them.  Hopefully resolution soon.

The walk wasn't what I'd call exhausting, but I was happy to be done when it was over.  Some extra weight will go a long way.  Need to find more hills too. 

Left calf cramped up bad on my last jump workout and has stayed kinked for a while.  Didn't notice it on the walk today, but it's still a bit tight.  Going to try running with the Mrs tomorrow: will see how that goes.

Intending on doing a crossfit WOD in the afternoon after work.  Something like thrusters and pull ups or Grace.  It's been nice being able to train harder/more with the bump in calories.

Mixed in a small scoop of protein powder with the yogurt/PB powder this morning.  I'm using the protein scooper in the PB powder and the PB scooper for the protein: makes for an interesting blend.

EDIT: Leaning toward Fran for the WOD today.  Having never done an actual thruster, it should be a decent breakin.  Plan to keep pull ups strict until I can't.

PM WORKOUT

Crossfit WOD FRAN 

21 thrusters (a front squat to push press) w/95lbs

21 pull ups (strict)

15 thrusters

15 pull ups (strict)

9 thrusters

9 pull ups (strict)

Time: 7:20

2 minute rest

Tabata KB swings w/45lbs

Notes: The hardest part of Fran was the thrusters, and specifically getting my body coordinated enough to do them.  First half was just a deliberate front squat followed by a press, but eventually I found my groove.  I liked this for what it was, and will keep it in the rotation.  KB swings made up for yesterday, as I got interrupted on the final set, and it's honestly just solid conditioning.
