Well, I was feeling like crap yesterday. I do not have a tolerance for alcohol at all. This past friday we had our fun run and there was certainly a bit too much fun taking place and I woke up feeling like a heel that had been stomped on. So, after oversleeping for the Saturday Track workout, I felt bad and rushed over to our workout 30 min late. They had just finished the warm up. I did a quick warm up, drills and commenced our workout. 10 X 400 @ 1 mile pace with 1 min recovery. My mod was to turn it into 2 X (4 X 400) @ 5 sec per 400 faster than 1 mile pace with 1 min recovery. That looked like this for my first round 69 sec, 70 sec, 71 sec, 78 sec. Really fell apart on the last one. At that point I felt like puking. I did one more 400 @ 76 and called it a day. However, I didn't really call it a day. The SSC crew was there. I joined in. Here was the workout. 2 X 800 with 20 push ups after each. Negative split the second 800. 3 rounds of parallel bar walks, monkey bars, 10 Pull ups, 10 hand stand push ups, bear crawl across the pole vault runway and two highway hill sprints or highway hell sprints. After that is was 5 min of tire flips, which we split with a partner. One length of 5 flips and trade off. This was a heavy tire. The entire effort definitely got my HR up, but the Saturday Sweat Club crew is so very encouraging, I enjoyed it immensely. Now, the rest of the day was filled with work and an overall sense of sleepiness from the workout.
Sunday morning/Mothers day, I woke up and did a quick 16 min workout. Here's how it went. 3 rounds of 20 push ups on the cinder blocks, 20 dead lifts with the 70 pound cinder blocks each hand, 20 burpees on the cinder blocks and I finished with 150 meter downhill and 150 meter uphill run with Jet and the baby jogger. 16:10 was the total time. Drenched in sweat, lungs expanding and contracting and ready for the day. Now off to the the Safari for mothers day to spend time with my beautiful wife and wonderful son. Be well and stay resilient.
