Squats slowed me down, and there no way I could maintain that run pace off a treadmill. Please I was within a few seconds of a PR.

I ran with the Campbell's running club today. We ran over the Ben Franklin Bridge, it was great to get outside. A slower pace than I am used to but it was good running with a group. I am hoping the start heading out more regularly. We covered the 5.15 mile course in 45:44

"Helen"

Three rounds for time:
Run 400 meters
1 1/2 pood Kettlebell X 21 swings (or 55 pound dumbbell swing)
12 Pull-ups

9:51 (3:02/3:23/3:26)

My worst time for this WOD in almost 2 years. Pull-ups were the killer and the DB swings weren't as fast. My lower back felt tired from this week's WOD.

Warmed up with Bench work (10x135#,7x155#,4x165#, situps between sets (50/25) and one mile run in 7 min.

I was hoping to stay under 10 min but am please with the result. It is amazing how as my back fatigued from the DL my push-up form started to suffer.

I had planned on doing "Helen" but I bruised my knee during yesterday's WOD and found while warming up I didn't have full mobility.

I flip-flopped the pull-ups and situps. The last 50 pull-ups were on the gravitron. I started to not feel well and cut the WOD short. Felt TERRIBLE after the workout and actually had to lay down for a minute due to being lightheaded.
