Happy CANADA DAY!!!

HAPPY 42ND BIRTHDAY CANADA!

Nicole
As Many Rounds as Possible in 20 minutes:
Run 4oo m
Max Pull-ups
Score rounds and Pull-ups
7 rds 101 Pull-ups

I am happy with this effort because I crushed my last effort. I could had time at the end to do some more running but decided not too...I am not happy about that. People that crush this WOD (150 plus reps), seem to do it in 6 rounds and just do a lot of pull-ups. I might try that next time, pace the run and hold on to the bar for more reps.

A Fasted Workout

(I like this shirt!)

"Nicole"

Complete as many rounds in 20 minutes as you can of:
Run 400 meters (Ran 430m)
Max rep Pull-ups

Post number of pull-ups completed for each round

24-12-11-10-9-10 + 390m Run

I did this workout at the end of my intermittent fast. I don't know if it was the fasting or just my poor conditioning but things when south pretty fast and I performed poorly. I rested for for three days to heal up my shoulder but it still hurts when I so push-ups and ring dips do I will see my chiropractor tomorrow.

I think it's time I get more serious about training. I am going to incorporate some CrossFit Endurance WOD's periodically and some workouts from "A Day in the Life: Preparing for SOF Conditioning" from the June 2008 CrossFit Journal. Both of these emphasize extra mono structural workouts and the Pre SOF, lots of push-ups, pull-ups and core work. I have done the Pre SOF before and saw good results, I am going to slowly ease into this with only 1 - 2 extra workouts a week. Pending my shoulder, I will continue main page workouts.

This will all be a waste of time if I don't talk about my diet. Lately, I have done a good job of eating Paleo and cutting out: grains, dairy, beans, peanuts and sugar. Other than a few sporadic cheats, the only thing that has really been haunting me is beer. Although I haven't been consuming a lot, I know I have seen my best results when I have cut it out completely. Since I am not ready to go back to strict zone, maybe severely cutting back on the delicious beer will help. Wish me luck with this one.

My Chicago trip coming up in a few weeks is obviously going to involve some cheating but I think listening to Robb Wolf for a day is going to make me want to tighten things up even more. I am really looking forward to this trip!

Remember folks, its not a diet, it's a lifestyle!
