Push-ups

21-15-9

Deadlifts 13#
50ft bear crawl

I knew I was going to struggle with the push-ups and I did BUT I completed ALL THE PUSH-UPS!! I was so proud of myself. It took me a long time but I did all 45 push ups! I finished the first set at 8:37 so I didn’t have time to add my weights and start with the second set but I’m really happy. Those were my first ever strict push-ups in a workout!!

Tuesday:

30 minute run – 5 minutes running, 2 minutes walking

This run felt pretty good. I had the dog with me for the first half.

Wednesday: Rest

Thursday: Rest

Friday: 18.5!
3-6-9-12-15-etc for 7 Minutes

Thrusters (45#)
Jumping chin-over-bar pull ups

I completed 90 reps!

Saturday: 6 Miles- 4 min run, 2 minute walk

My run went really well until mile 4. I felt great. I wasn’t tired. My breathing was normal. I wasn’t sweating. At mile 4 my knee immediately started to hurt. I stopped to stretch and was able to run another few minutes before stopping to walk and stretch again. I continued like this until stretching only allowed me 20 seconds of running before the pain was too terrible. I only walked the last mile. I haven’t stretched as much as I should have recently so I’m trying to remember to do it daily. We will see how next week goes!

Sunday: Rest

Enjoy the views from my Saturday run. I love my little town!

Weekly Workouts March 5-11

Last week we went out of town and then I was sick. I didn’t workout a single day! I am still sick but am feeling well enough to get in some workouts.

Monday:

18.2!! I was so sick on Friday-Sunday that today was the first day I could complete it. I really enjoyed this one and am looking forward to 18.3.

1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10 Dumbbell squats and burpees over the bar – 10:55

Clean -100lb (PR!!)

Tuesday:

I normally have a babysitter on Tuesday mornings so I get my run in without the toddler but she’s out of town this week so I brought the big guy with me. Between pushing the stroller and having a sinus infection, it was a SLOOOOW run, but I did it!

30 minutes – 4 min run/2 minute walk. 2.5 miles total

Wednesday:

2 mile leisurely walk. I spent 3 hours at the doctor’s office with my baby today and this was just what we both needed.

Thursday:

30 minute run – 4 min run/2 min walk. 2.66 miles total

This was with the stroller and 30lb toddler again.

Friday: 18.3!! 453 Total reps!!

Super stoked about this one. I did my first ever pull ups in a workout!! I did the entire first set of pull ups but ripped both palms on my first pull up of the second set so I stopped there. I was proud of my score and didn’t want to do more damage.

Saturday: Planned rest day – busy morning so I pushed my run to Sunday.

Sunday: Unplanned rest day. :-(. Toddler was up most of the night and was very sick all morning. Hoping for a long run tomorrow.

Weekly Workouts Feb. 19-25

Monday: Rest day – This wasn’t planned but I needed a day to just relax with my husband and kids so that’s what I did.

Tuesday:

30 minute run – 3 minutes running/2 minutes walking

I’ve been consistently running for 4 weeks now and my pace has increased by about a minute per mile. It’s pretty awesome to see at the end of my run how fast my pace was. I can certainly feel I’m going faster but I’m not focused on the pace for this race, just on finishing with minimal pain.

Wednesday:

Complete the following for time: 11:33
50 cal Row
50 DB Snatch 15lb
50 Alternating DB Thrusters 15lb

Thursday:

In 4 minutes, complete the following movements:
50 Double Unders
15 Kettlebell Swings 53
15 Ball Slams 30
1 Rope Climb
Max cal Bike/Row
Rest 2 minutes, then repeat for a total of 4 Rounds. Totals: 89, 90, 84, 84

Friday: 18.1 scaled

In 20 minutes complete as may rounds as possible:

8 Knee raises
10 Dumbbell Hang Clean & Jerks 20#
12 Calories Rowed

I completed 8+1 and was barely sweating. I didn’t push myself nearly hard enough. It wasn’t on purpose. I really thought that by the end, at the pace I was going, I would be tired. But I wasn’t. I think I will redo it on Monday with my coach who felt the same way.

Saturday:

5 miles: 3 minutes running, 2 minutes walking.

I made it 3.5 miles before my knee starting acting up. That was less than I was shooting for and am currently looking for more ways to be pain-free while running. OI’m continuing to stretch, foam roll, and strength train. I’m not sure what else I can do. Any suggestions would be appreciated!!

My view for about a mile today. 🙂

Sunday: Rest day.
