Run/Squats (x 4) and a 20 mile bike ride

07-23-2009

Alright, I couldnt wait for todays work out. Not because it is such a great work out but because after yesterdays work out I was on cloud nine. I'm feeling good. I'm very motivated, I ate well, it was just a great day all the way around. So here goes for today...

WOD:
Four rounds for time of:
Run 400 meters
50 Squats

Time: 16:48

Alright I completed the work out as prescribed. It wasnt the worlds best time but I felt like I put out. I'm just a lousey runner any way you cut it, adding squats in between runs just makes me worse, ha! No biggie. Afterwards I was smoked. When I got home I grabbed a quick bite to eat and decided to continue with that earlier motivation and go for a bike ride. I rode from Ashburn to Reston, over 20 miles. As I got off the bike in front of my house a nearly threw up.....good times!

Weight: 201.8 - Work out clothes and shoes on. So in reference to my weight, I'm up just a few pounds or so in recent week(s). In a phrase, "who cares". When I'm home I have certain social obligations and friendships to maintain, more often then not that means drinking and eating not the best of foods. Additionally when I'm at work I dont have the luxury to eat whatever I want then I want too, so when I'm home, I do have some fun. But this trip home I have made a concerted effort to eat right when I can and I have stayed hard on my crossfit program. To have been home this long and to still be this close to 200 to me is actually pretty great. This may also be the longest I've been in this weight range in years. Aside from all that patting of myself on the back, I think I should be in the 178-185 pound range in order to be at an athletic build. We will see, when I get there!
