First day back in the gym today and boy was it a rough one. Felt good and strong overall, and feeling good despite some poor eating at work over the last few days. WOD: “Eva”5 rounds for time:800m Run30 Kettlebell Swings 70lb30 Pull-ups Finished 4 rounds34:52 So my workout felt pretty good today. I paced myself accordingly as I knew this was going to be a long workout and I really felt quite good. Running was done on a treadmill. First 3 rounds I kept the 800m under 4 minutes which I felt was a decent pace. Swings and pull-ups were broken through every round. That 70lbs felt quite heavy by the end. 4th round I started cramping pretty bad on the treadmill, so I had to slow it way down, cramps went away as the 800 ended so I continued on to…

Last rest day. Nuff said.

Still good and sore this morning. Soreness is starting to leave my legs, mainly my quads, but my back and arms are still hurting quite a bit. I’m going to take another rest day tomorrow, and then it’s back to it. I’ve got a death march of a workout coming on Thursday. Should be long and brutal for sure. Definitely will be the longest met-con that I’ve ever done. Eva.

My body was in some ridiculous pain this morning. I’m still super sore. Not a single part of my body feels good. Obviously didn’t workout today, but honestly I was really itching to do a workout. I did up my programming for the next 10 days or so of training. Looking forward to some tough workouts. Doing a few of the girl workouts which I’ve never done. Cheers. – Jade

Pain, pain, pain. God my body is hurting. Not that there was an enormous amount of “training” yesterday, but all the work on the movements over and over really put a hurting on me. Another great day of the cert. today. A lot of what was said was nothing new, I’ve watched a ton of videos on the journal, and many of them were identical to what was said in the cert. Again I was thoroughly impressed with Jon’s coaching when we worked on the snatch. We also got the chance to work on the kipping pull-up and muscle-up. I got 2 consecutive muscle-ups, from a dead hang, no touching the ground or resetting my hands. I think the first one was pretty damn nice, the second was not so as my hand positioning had changed dramatically. As I’m writing this right now…
