Outdoor Desert Punishment

This morning before my first shift at work I decided to do 500 pull ups for time.  Why, I have no idea.  I did it in just under an hour.  About 59: 20 something.  My hands are in some serious pain but not too bad.  A lot of blisters but no tears which was good.  I did them in pyramid sets starting at 1-10-1 X 5.  I felt pretty damn good afterwards too.

This afternoon after the Dust Storm settled, it was time to get outside for some of the good stuff.  I had my crossfit newbie who has literally never run outside, so I had to break her of such a horrible habit.  I had to get rid of the treadmill/elliptical regimen that world and worst of all the American Heart Assoc. thinks is healthy.  My goal is to instill and bring back hard work in the gym instead of this low to no impact crap.  Minus some minor running problems, she did awesome and pushed herself harder than I thought she would.  For her 1st outdoor WOD I had her do the following.

3Rds for time of:  
500M Row
800M Run
50 Sit Ups

I did the same wod but kept rowing till she finished, ran with her, and did V-ups instead of sit ups and jumped on the rower right away.

Snoops Time:  19:41
My Time was the same but I did the following.

1000M - 1500M - 1500 Rows
800M Run
50 V Ups X 3

  1. Rumor has it you had -- or are about to have -- a birthday recently.

  2. My B-day is coming up and I've been so far off the zone the last 2 weeks. I think i've had cheescake 3-4 times and a cherry covered cheese blintz's for breakfast a few times. This cafeteria is ridiculous out here. These people are spoiled and fat and its rubbing off on me.

    We will definitely grab some brewskies when I get back. Its funny that when I'm in Utah, I want to go somewhere else for good beer, and when I'm out here, I want to go back to utah for good beer. Ironic..
