Those big digits are for me, who is DONE doing math at 0515 without a calculator.  It doesn't seem to matter that I had 3 semesters of calculus and physics, and a bunch of chemistry before I saw the light and became a liberal arts major.  I can't add to save myself.  Thank God, the dh is doing the checkbook.  I would find a way to screw up Quicken.  Anyway the WB is wrong.

So, the good stuff... I can put three DU's together, although I need to find MY rope, something where the length feels right and I almost wish it had a little weight in the center of it.  It might make it harder and result in bigger lashings, but I wonder if it might help with my timing.

Other good stuff, if I am careful, I can GHD without bothering my lower back... something that felt a bit out of joint today after really trying to get that lumbar curve going in those OHS yesterday.

I am comfortable working the row at 5 on the damper, but I was very disappointed in my "mileage" today.  It was about a 2:14/500m pace.  You'd think I could  be working closer to that sub 2 pace if it was only for a freakin' minute.

I won't lie, I shed more than few on the way home today.  Things need to shift, and quickly.

WOD 090831

WOD for the capable 21->3 ladder (decrease by 3 each round) Lsit Pull ups/ Strict press
ALT WOD 5 rounds 10 PU's 15 Presses, 20 Abmat

If you felt all the dust flowing out of your house this morning, that would be courtesy of me, because I totally sucked at this workout this morning. This was all upper body with brief rest of abmats for me. I worked kipping pullups with my purple floss, and was only able to crank out a couple of doubles. I can't follow directions apparently and only did 10 presses vice 15. I had to strip the weight from 60 to 55 after the first round or I never would have finished. As it was, I was doing the leg quiver and lots of singles by the 4th round.

Yep, this was a just quit WOD. Pull ups felt so weak, you'd never know I've been working on them a year. Strict press could have been considered tolerable, until realizing that I didn't do all that I should have. Just plain rotten. I'd like to say I am looking forward to meeting this one again so I can mark some progress, but I'm still to disappointed to get there.

Probably what really bummed me most was how dang heavy the silly 35# kb swings felt during the warm up. FGB is coming just around the corner, and I don't feel ready to take on anything.

'nough whining. Hit it again tomorrow. Look forward to next week when school starts again and two a day's a couple times a week. Cooler weather coming. All good things.
