Hi CFRX! I’m here, it’s hot. Just checking in. I haven’t made it to the CF gym yet- apparently it’s in Zone 1 and I am in Zone 6 so I have to take a bus to get there. But I will get to it. The gym closest to me has been working for my running..I ran a 16:01 2-mile today. I need to get under 15:30 to be back to my normal Army 2 mile. So, I am working on it.
*Oh and the Kuwaiti man who works at the gym told me that my spandex are too revealing and I cannot wear them anymore. =) There goes my CF wardrobe.
Good to hear from you CaitMakers.
Yes, good to hear from you. You would have enjoyed our team wod this morning. Good luck with your modest workout wear!
So jealous of the Team WOD idea! What a great motivation!!
Ha ha! That’s funny!
Did the Growlery Team WOD today
800m run with 10k plate
150 team burpees (did 50)
8 min to 1RM deadlift
DL: 296# during the 8 minutes and 301# immediately afterward. PR by 26#.
Thanks for carrying the plate and doing extra burpeeps. And for the strongest deadlift on our team. You rocked today.
Saturday fun! My teammates and I ran 800m carrying one 10k plate in less than 5 minutes. Well almost all Aaron for the carrying part, although I was glad I could take a brief turn. I contributed 50 burpees to our 150 total burpees and max deadlift of 153. If I had had my glasses on, I would have tried more weight. Terri did some great rowing and Pat and Aaron did awesome PR deadlifts!! Way to go Team No Excuses!
Thanks for doing extra burpees and carrying the plate. This was fun! Let’s do it again next Saturday.
So, I had to laugh this morning….at the DragonCon parade, there was a group of martial arts dudes, and one of them did a forward roll into a ninja position – hahaha!!
Ha! You should have rolled toward him. It would have been quite a surprise!
I had a great time this morning on the “No Excuses” team with Aaron, Joy, and Terri. As already described, we had to run 800 meters as a team, carrying a 10kg plate. Aaron did most of the carrying with a very respectable contribution from the tiny one, Joy. Then we had to do 150 burpees. Joy and Aaron each did 50, and Terri and I each contributed 25 for a total of 150.
Then we had exactly 8 minutes for everyone to establish a 1RM on deadlift. I loved this fast paced lifting without too much thinking or resting. My lifts were something like this:
132×1, 176×1, 220×1, 242×1, 267X1 PR! (in Nike Frees).
Then immediately after the workout, I attempted 270 and made it! PR prior to today was 265.
Nice Pat and the rest of the team No Excusers!
Kids and I did 1/2 Cindy in the park. I didn’t push and didn’t count rounds; just glad to be moving.
Good for you, Sheryl. Sounds like you had some fun, too.
This sounds like it was really fun — now I’m sorry I chose to take a rest day!
It was REALLY FUN. My lower back is tweaky, so I did a row for calories instead of the deadlifts. (That’s not an excuse! No excuses!) The running was tolerable for a change – Maybe because we were all running in a little pack. Burpees weren’t nearly as bad as usual. I don’t think I’ve ever done 25 without standing around resting.
I love team workouts.
