Week 3: Running inside in the rain?

Thank you to everyone for your AWESOME words of encouragement on my first crossfit competition.  I successfully survived the WOD Warrior this morning. I knew it was going to be hard, but it was SUPER hard! It was a great experience and I am glad that I did it. Working on a recap now to post later in the week!

This week was pretty uneventful training wise. No fun vacation days in the middle of the week. L

Monday: Off or Recovery day. I opted to do an easy 30 minutes on my spin bike followed by 20 minutes of core work + stretching. It snowed over 10 inches so I was glad that I could just stay home after work.

Tuesday: 25 minutes of easy spinning + 20 minutes of core and then Farmgirlfit. The workout at FGF consisted of AMRAPs (As Many Rounds As Possible). These workouts always confuse me because I have to keep track of my rounds and when you are working at top speed everything blurs together.

Wednesday: I came home to standing water on my TM. There is a leak (several to be exact) in the roof over the sunroom where all of our exercise equipment is.  I had a mini panic attack, but then got towels to start cleaning up the mess. Thankfully my precious TM was okay. I completed my 6 mile run while having water dripping on me the entire time. The combination of the 10 inches of fresh snow the day before + the rain and warming temperatures made for a mess and an interesting workout! As soon as Mr. Healthy Diva got home from work he moved my TM to a drier location.

6 miles @ my easy pace of 8:30 (7.0 on the TM) w/10 pick ups. I just speed up when I felt like it, I had no set plan. Finished 6 miles a bit faster than the previous week- 48:43

I wasn’t feeling very good during this workout so when I got done I decided to not do any core work. I feel like I have been fighting off something ever since Saturday. Really I hope I don’t get sick!

Thursday: Farmgirlfit. I went to the 4:30 class right after work and I actually enjoyed it, but it was more crowded then I am used too. Workout consisted of 10 rounds: 10 wall balls, 10 hand release push ups, 5 ring row dips. Following 10 rounds, 400 meter run and then deadlifts for weight (6-5-5-3-3-2). I had a new deadlift PR of 150!

Friday: Off or recovery day. I decided to take this entire day off because on Sunday I had my first crossfit competition.

Saturday: 13.1 miles with 8 miles easy pace (8:30) and 5 miles at current MP  (7:38). I was pretty nervous for this workout. It has been months since I have ran anything with goal MP in the equation. I was pleasantly surprised at how easy this felt. I could have run further at MP. Right now I am only shooting for a 3:20 at Windermere so this workout has me right on track. 

Sunday: WOD Warrior! I survived—more on this to come J

Miles run: 25.1

Questions for you:
How was your week????
