Morning Rowing WOD:
5 minute easy row
10x (30 sec fast/30 sec rest) 9-10 RPE
5 minute rest/stretch
20 minute easy row – 3-4 RPE
5 x (1:00 fast/1:00 rest) 7-9 RPE
Evening WOD:
5 rounds for time:
20 Front Squats w/ 65#
20 Box Jumps w/ 24″ box
20 Deadlifts w/ 95#
20 Burpees
rest 5-10 minutes, then 28 minute brisk walk.
The evening WOD took me 43:13 to complete. It turned out to be harder than I expected, but since it was the second WOD of the day for me that might explain why my energy was pretty low. Even so I was glad to give my upper body a break because I’ve been blasting my shoulders for the last several weeks and they are just TIRED! (I am still hurting from the Diamond Push Ups on Monday!!!)
I also am dropping a little more weight/body fat. I was down to 122.8 this morning, which I haven’t seen for awhile! I can’t wait for the body fat testing (in the water tank) on Saturday. I might fast a little tomorrow morning – depending on how hungry I am when I wake up. Then Saturday morning I’ll be doing a 5K and then working out, all before the body fat test. I’m anxious to see how much I’ve come down since the beginning of August when I was measured at 23.9%! I’m hoping for 14% but will be happy with less than 20%!

I’m not feeling too sore from The Seven Saturday and Michael-Grace Sunday, but I am tired and feel kind of low-energy. So, I went to the gym and just did the posted WOD, not pushing things or trying to go hard. I just wanted to loosen up tight muscles and do a little something.
Front Squats 5×5 @ 65# (1 minute rest between sets)
then
3 rounds for time of:
30 Kettlebell Swings (35#)
30 Diamond Push ups
30 Walking Lunges
then, rest 5 minutes, and take a brisk walk for 20 minutes.
I finished the 3 rounds in 14:03. The push ups were the hardest part. My arms are very tired from the last several weeks of heavy overhead stuff. I will be taking a break on anything overhead this week so that I can be rested up and ready for Grace on Sunday.
