I hate running

July 18, 2008

Rx:

Four rounds for time of:
Run 400 meters
50 Squats

Brandx puppy:

Run 400 meters
25 squats

Finished in just below 19 minutes (some flyfisher started talking to me just as I was finishing up so I missed the exact time.) Went real deep on the squats and had to split the last three sets. Running went surprisingly well, even though my knee didn’t like it all that much.

I’ve actually impressed myself three times today. First, I’ve eaten really well for the last two days, but this afternoon I had the wildest cravings for potato chips. I’ve broken down before, but this time I walked right past the crap shelves, 1-0 me. A bit later I had finished trying to rein in the kids and put them and the house to rest, I calculated I’d been at it straight for fourteen hours, surely I deserved a rest? I mean, up and about with a three-year-old all day could be called a decent workout all by itself, right? (It really is!) Still, I suited up and left the house on my bike to find a suitable place to do todays wod. 2-0 me! Now, for the third victory, did I mention I hate running? I actually finished 4×400m without slowing to a walk (or puking) For me this is a huge win, 3-0 and it’s a rout!

Did I ever tell you how much I hate running?

Oh, and PS! Cashew nuts, yum.
