Long Distance Blues


Got up this morning really excited. I have some new running shoes I was itching to run in. Unfortunately, my run was a bit too long for new shoes. I intended to run almost 11 miles. Everything was ok until about mile 9. I started having issues in my instep. Had to walk the last 2, very disappointing.

Saturday Workout


Today I returned to the cool park. Unfortunately, I went at a time when Katy Fit was having their long run, so parking was a nightmare.


I carried a 1 pd Kettlebell with me about 1/2 mile to get to the area. I was glad I did not grab the 1.5 pd as it would have been a long walk.Here is what I did:

Five 3 minute segments with 1 minute in between

Within each segment As Many Rounds as Possible of:

1 modified Rope climb

5 push ups

10 KB Swings


Each segment I completed 4 rounds. So 20 modified rope climbs, 100 push ups, and 200 KB Swings. Not bad, my grip was fried afterwards.

Thursday Workout


Discovered this park near me that has a cool outdoor parent/kid fitness park. It is set up like an obstacle course of sorts. There are dip stations, monkey bars, climbing towers, chin up stations, decline sit up station and a climbing rope which makes it rule! A dad of one of my son’s classmates, told me about it.So yesterday morning, I checked it out.

I was going to do the Crossfit WOD of 2 Muscle Ups, 4 Handstand Push ups and 8 KB swings, as many rounds as possible in 20 minutes. I totally scaled as I do not have a muscle up nor a handstand push up. So I subbed 6 pull ups/6 dips, and Pike Push ups with feet on a bench. I had a 1 pd KB in the car, so I used that, I wish I would have brought my 1.5 pd.

Anyway I warmed up with some joint mobility, 1 rope climb and 400 m run. As for the WOD, 11 rounds in 20 minutes. And I finished with a rope climb

Wednesday Workout

Took an off day on Tuesday. So Wednesday I did some Bodyweight work:

3 rounds for time
50 push ups
50 sit ups
50 squats
50 back ext

My time was 16:37
