So another poor day of eating yesterday. I was on schedule for a good day but went to a dinner party last night and paleo didn’t quite fit in with what was offered. So be it, I wasn’t going to pass free food up with a bunch of my friends. I kept track of calories and such through the first part of the day, but since I couldn’t at the party it isn’t relevant.

Quads were feeling a bit worked this morning from Fran yesterday but I was determined to do Elizabeth today. I bailed on it last time half way through the workout because of extreme soreness and I was determined one for that not to happen again, and two to get a nice reduction in time. Worked out right when I got up.

WOD:
“Elizabeth”
21-5-9
135lb Full Cleans
Bar Dips

11:44

So the last time, which was the first time I did Elizabeth, I did it in the same fashion with the bar dips. I did it just over 3 months ago so I’ve had a good amount of training time in between. I can definitely see the training time difference as I chopped 5 minutes off my previous time of 16:44. So I’m pumped about that, but still realize how weak I am and how much quicker this WOD could go if I was stronger. This WOD destroyed my lower back, and as I write this my quads are in some serious pain. That actually slowed me down at certain points just needing to stretch real quickly. Either way it was great to get this workout in and I’m psyched with the huge gain. Going to do some sort of strength day tomorrow. Cheers.
