Did I get in a car crash?

Body is straight up hurting today. My hands are crushed I'm gonna avoid using them on the bar the next couple days actually most likely gonna run the next couple days and let my body reset a bit.

So its almost 3:30 and I'm still beat up and tired. Gotta get my act together have a bball game at 7:15. Tomorrow I'm doing nothing. I mean NOTHING.

Funny thing happens I play in my game now I feel amazing and once I got running around I felt great during the game. Maybe I'll get my lazy ass to class in the morning. Doubt it ha

Eva you nasty bitch!

So I'm thinking it will be a normal thing for my left knee to ache in the morning so I will have to deal don't have time to bitch about it with 5 800's tonight and basketball tomorrow night. Almost happy about all the running tonight due to I have races coming up and have not run a lick to prep for them. See how that plan goes oh well i hate it and can think of a ton of shit I'd rather be doing.

Today's plan.....

EVA

5 rounds for time

800m run
30 KB swings (heavy)
30 pull ups

EVA is one of the "girls" bench mark workouts so it will be fun to post a time and compare it down the line. The "girls" are always awful hoping there is a large class seems the more people suffering together the easier it is for some reason.There is a 50 min time cap on this sucker I'll be angry if I approach that hoping for sub 40 even with my knee.

Results...

Ok so I made the title to this post as a joke. Well I was spot on! First off the run was rough. Anyone who knows me knows my hatred for running. Then pride kicked in and I was determined to do the workout rx'd this ment 150 swings with the 70# kettle bell. I'd hoped for sub 40min until I heard that. I figured rx wod under the time cap would be respectable. Well I'd forgotten the damn farmers carries yesterday and there effect on my hands. It was a slow grind but I got it done in 58 min. Proud of my girl Mary Ann for gutting out all the pullups and sticking with me at the end. Thank god it is over.

So 615 went well it was nice to workout with my sister who smoked me and pinch gripping the 45 bumpers was hellish and smoked my hand even bothering me on the kettlebells. Finished in 14:08 which was ok.

Class was small but energy was still there.

Late night wod went great. Was really worried about my knee with the box jumps so I took it easy and used the small box. Kenny stayed and did it with me and we cranked it out. Finished 7:58. Feel great and knee feels better sounds like a good day.

Sunday funday

So I feel a ton better after a rest day yesterday. Gonna spend a good part of the morning with the roller and am gonna meet Steve at the gym at 1:30. No idea what is in store for me. But isn't that what it's all about? Check in later.

Well steveo wanted to work on snatching so we did some work on that with him. I worked mostly on catching in a lower squatting position with lighter weight. Worked up to some sets at 195#. As boys will do we started playing with different lifts mostly overhead squats . Been awhile since I'd done them heavy felt really good doing sets at 165# while pretty toast after snatching. Very happy with that my flexibility has come light years since I first started. Now to enjoy the day ladies final four tonight!
