    @Beeps2011 Happy Birthday! :)

    Got a quick run in yesterday. Was pressed for time, so did 4.5km. Better than nothing. It was bridge night last night, so that meant "dessert". :p

    Did a HIIT workout this morning called "20 hard minutes".

    Sprint 20 yds. - rest - sprint back 20 yds.
    Push the prowler 20 yds. - rest - push it back.
    Sprint 20 yds. - rest - sprint back 20 yds.
    Pull the 300 lb. anchor chain 20 yds. - rest - pull it back.
    Sprint 20 yds. - rest - sprint back 20 yds.
    Weighted carry 20 yds. - rest - carry it back.
    Repeat this entire cycle.

    Takes 20 minutes on 50 second intervals. No one was talking at the end. I'm going to do this once or twice a week on non-lifting days.

    NSV for today ... I got a "nice *kitten*" text from a female colleague :) Ok so yesterday I did my first big boy crossfit class and it was mostly my thing with loads of squatting but it was damn hectic at the end lol

    Warm up:
    star jumps x 1 minute
    High hip complex x 3
    cat and cow x 10
    Scap Activation 3 x 5

    Back Squats 70% of 1RM 3 x 10
    I did 145lbs/65kg due to a miscalculation. so it ended up being too light.

    Dragon Crawls 10 x 10m
    I did 7 x 10m. These things are hectic.

    Conditioning:
    EMOM x 10 minutes
    Burpees x 3
    Accumilate plate squats with 45lbs/20kg plate. I did 100.

    Then i literally rolled back and and fought against going into the light lol

    Nothing completed. I’m sooo sick! It will be two weeks away from my gym before I get back. Really upset as I was on a good track for the meet in January. But our character shows under adversity. I will be back. For now, though, back to bed.

    Good day kids, Hot Pilates done. Is it wrong I thought about dead lifts the whole time I was in class? Oh well, I was. Quikdogs, I hope you feel better. Can you advise on the knee wraps and wrist wraps you use? I have a belt already. Beeps, I am honored (blushing). I watched a video on Instagram today of a 76 year old lady perform a 200 pound dead lift. It touched my heart to see the crowd cheer her on and see her look of accomplishment after she put the weight down. It's never too late to change once you make your mind up. Have a great day kids.

    Hey Kids,

    @caramelgyrlk Great focus and picture. That is what getting it done looks like!

    I'm sort of jealous, since I'm mostly sidelined during my "recovery month". I'm sneaking in a few easy runs, but counting down the days until I can resume a full schedule.

    Stay Cool.
