Nasty Girls!!!

Aug. 29th

3 Rounds for time

50 Air Squats
7 Muscle Ups
10 hanging power cleans 95 lbs

Everything felt good. Subbed 21 push ups and 21 dips for 7 muscle ups because our pull up bar was not up yet. I think pull ups would have made the dips easier. 17:34

John did this one too only using 135 lb for the cleans.

Aug. 30

4 Rounds:

400 m run for time.

2 minute rest between rounds.

I subbed 400 m rows as I didn't have 400 m mapped out on the road yet. When finished I did 30 deadlifts straight with 95 lbs and one 400 m jog. While I was doing my workout, John mapped out the 400 m to run and started his runs. He never timed the first two but his last two runs were 1:24 then 1:17. It would have been faster on the track because he had to slow down to turn around at the 200 m mark. We will re-think our strategy for next time:) My row times weren't the best, I have been feeling off for a few days but am trying to fight through it. Anyway, times were 1:38, 1:37, 1:37, 1:37. Oh, that rower!!!

Today, September 1

Another of Coach Clarke's killers

10 Rounds

250 m row
10 deadlifts 155 lbs

At round 3 I thought I was going to die. Seriously, the rows felt like the break. I needed a two minute break before the row and before the deadlift. I set the bar down on every set after the second. I would be lifting strong then my mind would say "you need a break" and as weak as my mind was my body would follow. I didn't need to put the weight down, so I am pissed about that. Felt great when it was over. Next time I won't put the weight down!!!

For the past few workouts I have been getting a pounding headache on the left side of my head near the top as soon as I start exerting myself, which is pretty close to the very beginning of the workout. It doesn't go away for hours even if I take advil. Has anybody else experienced this. I hope it's part of a flew bug. Anyway, it won't stop me.

My favorite song today is "Mercy" by Duffy. I love the beat, it makes me want to dance:)
