    I was honestly going to do yesterday's CF metcon... but I have been really sore after doing a half Cindy a few days agoC. Like... out of the ordinary sore. Plus, I shovelled my car out from 19" of snow last night and was throwing shovelfulls of snow OVER the top of my car which had about a foot of snow on it.

    Thinking I may be coming down with something, I didn't do the WOD yesterday.
    I'm still sore today and don't have much of an appetite...

    I did do some joint mobility and stretching last night

    tonight- benches-

    105x5 felt like crap
    110x3 last one had a sticking point halfway up
    120x2. Stuck about halfway again. I widened my grip on this set because I think I may be narrow....
    I wasn't sure it'd be safe to try another rep because I was along at home with my rack that doesn't have many holes for adjustment of the spotter arms.

    Off to do 3 sets of 5 hspus to books. Boy do these feel weak too.

    Wonder if it's the travel/times zone changes or maybe the kava kava I started taking?

    Starting to think it's the 6 hour hike I went on, which way uphill both ways. No, really!

    But seriously... a 6 hr decent paced hike, with not much food that day... according to the Daily Plate, it would have burned 2700 calories. Whoopsie.

    Woke up this morning with that crappy sick taste in the back of my throat and a raw feeling in my chest. That explains it, as well as the caloric defecit. Apparently my body's been fighting something off. Well, good thing I didn't metcon myself into sickness.

    I started on the wall ball/l sit pullup WOD last night and stopped in the first round. Pullups and body rows were NOT feeling normal. I'm glad I stopped.

    Thank you!
    Feels like it was a 24 hour thing.

    Deadlifts today-
    180x5, 190x3 225x2, then a single of 225.
    Kelly said the bar drifted forwards on the 3rd attempt.

    Then pullups-
    3,2 unweighted
    3 with 5 lbs
    then one Bartendaz style circular one with no foot action. Youch my shoulders!

    Squats for deload week-
    120x5
    125x5
    130x5

    Nice and easy. Still surprised though how I can do 160x10 and then 130 is a little slow.

    Have to rush out to get a haircut. No time for the metcon I was planning. I feel like my nights are a big f---ing rush all the time.

    Tabata this-
    Tabata Row
    Rest 1 minute
    Tabata Squat
    Rest 1 minute
    Tabata Pull-up
    Rest 1 minute
    Tabata Push-up
    Rest 1 minute
    Tabata Sit-up

    The Tabata interval is 20 seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of rest for 8 intervals.
    Tabata score is the least number of reps performed in any of the eight intervals. Unit for the row is "calories".

    Post Tabata score for each exercise to comments and total for final score.


    Row-4 (first round was 2, but I hadn't started when the timer went off)
    Squat-15 (try 17 next time)
    Pullup- 4 (mostly 6s)
    Pushup- 4 (chose too low a number on this one. Try 6 next time)
    Situp-12

    total-39 blech!

    The other day's CF WOD, done Friday night.
    Thrusters max reps, pullups max reps.

    65#
    10 (felt a little odd pinch in my left shoulder, so stopped), 16 kipping with a small break, but still hung on the bar.
    11, 15
    8,15.

    Cut it to 3 rounds.
