Breath!!!

Today seems like summer... Finally!
Not the sun or nice day outside...just really not much else to do but head to the weight room, get kids lifting and being around great people...
School got out and it just all seemed crammed into the next two weeks...contact days, golf outing, youth camp, other camps, clinics, fundraisers...going...going...going...from one thing to the next and most overlapping...

Not complaining...just letting you know why there has not been much on the blog but the WOD...sorry.

Sooooo...
Thursday ACTIVE REST is:
Warm-Up ~ 3 x 10 Burpees
Active Rest ~ (100 Burpees total...including the warm-up)...
TEST Today:
How many consecutive Burpees can you get?

How many burpees I could get in a row...no rest or recovery breaths...constant movement...
My best a week or so ago was 30 in a row...(bouncedown/dropdown style)...
later that day...
Syd did 40 with walkdown style...impressive...took him about 2 minutes

Well today I thought I might make it past 30...but at about 20 there was the voice...
"this is getting tough"
"you do not have to do this"
"WHY would you do this"
You know that voice? Negative, tired-out, crappy little voice...

YOU MUST PUSH THRU THAT VOICE AND PUNCH IT IN THE FACE!

by 25 reps I was sure I could make it to 30 and maybe even 33-35...
by 35, I HAD to make it to 40...got to get what SYD did (thanks for the motivation SYD)!
Soooo..with Val doing SEALGRINDER PT on the side...I huffed & puffed and sounded like Bertagnolski (or just me when I run ;-) and got..........................40 (dropdown style)...1:35 (I think)...
took one minute rest and got 10 more with wobbly legs!

Two more sets of 10 and I was done...

THEN...got to watch VAL do yesterdays WOD and KILL IT!!!!

Val ~ 7 Rnds + 4 Burpees...AWESOME!!! Beats us all again!!! She is a firebreather!
Once Val gets a Muscle Up there will be no stopping her...and she is closer than she thinks!!!

Pro Volley Friends coming in for Friday WOD!!!
Sooooo Excited!!!
They worked out with us last year and it was awesome...
See you at 6:15am!!!
