RUN

5 Mile Run - 
37:46

Not to shabby... and it included some great hills.
Maybe my goal of the 1/2 marathon in 1:45 could be pretty realistic... We'll see!

Friday and Saturday...

For the next 10 days (now less)... I am modifying the WOD's from the CrossFit Main site and incorporating some more running. I have a half marathon coming up this Saturday, June 13th.
Friday was supposed to be 1 Rep Max Deadlifts - I did a series of 3-4 rounds of 10-5 sets. Nothing horribly heavy - focused on form and technique. I built the weight up to 285lb which felt really good. That is well over 1.5 times body weight.

Saturday was tough - Lynne was the workout -
5 Rounds
Max Reps
Body Weight Bench Press
Pull Ups

Last time I did this was in November - I weighed 155lbs and got a TOTAL rep count of 171
This time, I am up to 160lbs and my rep count dropped to 137. Not bad. It is hard to do Max Bench Press without a spotter. I am sure I could have squeaked out a couple of more if I had someone to help with the failed rep. The pull ups were still strong, but dropped from averaging 25 per round down to 20 per round. I have not done as many pull ups as I use to... I can see that in the reps.

When I finished, I went out for a mile run to cool down.
Today I will work in a 3-5 miler to keep the legs movin'...
