5K... for time



Today - 5K for time... I got my fastest 'recorded' time 22:10. How's that for minimal running?!

I taught class this morning - it was a good one:
Partner workout - The Pace Keeper was 'Farmer Walk'

Zane and Maggie did awesome. They worked their butts off.
As one would do 8 laps of the gym with HEAVY dumbbells in each hand, the other would do Thrusters with a weighted barbell for the entire time. Then switch.
Next they moved to 6 laps of the gym while one was doing TRX Rows. Then switch
Next was 4 laps of the gym while one was completing Kettle Bell swings. Then switch
Finally 2 laps of the gym while one was doing dips. And switch...

They were total troopers. It was awesome to see Zane start running (with 55lb Dumbbells in EACH hand). The faster the 'Farmer Walker' went, the fewer reps the other person had to do. I don't think Maggie felt like she got much of a break though...
