Day 53

I went out for a ski this morning. I decided to go with my Skate Skis. The hills were a little bit of a challenge, but it felt faster than my classic skis! It was a beautiful morning and the trails were kind of empty since it’s Birkie weekend.

Walked to the post office for my second workout. It was so nice and sunny and above freezing!

I also finished my next book Resilient by Brooke Wells. It was about her crazy comeback after dislocating elbow during the 2021 CrossFit games. She came back and got 5th in the 2022 Games after a major reconstruction surgery. The book shares her story of that incredible year and her ups and downs throughout the recovery and season. It’s a well told story and is easy to read.

Happy Friday!!

The afternoon didn’t go as planned with the kids plans so I went out later than anticipated for my ruck. I took my 20# pack today. We ran into a few dogs so the walk was shorter than normal.

My legs are sore from a lot of squats programed this week! This morning was also squats! I think all 5 workouts programmed for the week include some type of squat or step ups.  Today’s tempo squats burned! And tempo step ups (2 seconds down) was a new movement that was challenging.

We are warming up and the sun felt good this afternoon. I was a little underdressed because I thought it was warmer than it actually was. Oops!

Day 49

Another brutally cold morning. And another cold day off from school. So I went back to V3. I did some yoga and it took me a little bit to figure out what workout to do but I opted for one that had squats, thrusters, and I modified to bike instead of run. The workout took about 30 minutes. But I had also planned on swimming so even though I was pushing an hour already I went down to the pool.

I decided that my body was already warmed up and jumped into the TriDot swim assessment. I did it in the wrong order and without enough rest, because I couldn’t remember! I did 200m – 2 min rest – 400m. It’s supposed to be 400m – 10 min rest – 200m.

I also used a swim snorkel and didn’t push off the walls, so it was 25m lengths with a short pause.  My times were 4:47 and 8:18. Not too bad for where I’m at currently.

Enjoy this pic from my afternoon walk.
