20-something...

The day before school (officially) starts with kids...

Needed to get a real grinder in!
Well...we found it!

5 RFT ~
20 Pull Ups
200m Run
20 HR Push Ups
200m Run
20 Abmat Sit Ups
200m Run
20 Air Squats
200m Run

That is right... 2.5 Miles worth of running and 100 Reps of the other exercises...
What pains me even more is that JB was correct in estimating this thing could take about an hour... I said about 30 minutes or less... Oops!

E ~ 29:54 (3 Rnds)
JB ~ 54:50
V ~ 58:54
tb ~ 45:15 (7:30/16:03[8:33]/25:26[9:23]/35:27[10:01]/45:15[9:48])

Slow Burn...

This was a great slow burn after yesterday's WOD and lack of sleep...

tb ~ 26:15 (8:15 first mile / 10:15 2nd mile)

Jacob was out to a great start...pulled w/in 150m in the rower on him, but the runs were just too much! He is like the energizer bunny in any distance race...

Volleyball won their first set last night!!! Excellent...
Then they fell apart (according to the coach!)...they need some confidence...that will come...they do not know HOW all this works yet... LOTS of GROWING to be done this season!!! Let's just go with the positive for now...They DID WIN their first set at the Sheboygan Tournament...IT is a start...

AND...THEY DO LOOK GOOD!!!!

WR VB!!!

Yesterday...

It was game day...that is why there was no post... Just never got time to type it up. 

I looked at the WOD results sheet every time I walked past my desk thinking, that will be the next thing I do... Then it was getting game balls ready, cameras ready, organizing the H2O jugs, great PE discussion w/ Mac and Nathali, game plan sheets typed up...you name it, I started to do it...

...thus...never getting around to putting up the WOD...which was excellent, BTW ;-)

So here was yesterdays WOD:

FROGGY 101

10 RFT ~ 

200m Run

6 Frog Complexes (1= Squat-Clean-Thruster + Back-Squat-Thruster) (75#/45#)

Kate ~ 23:53

Feidt ~ 27:50

Daliege ~ 31:00 (45# 1-4 / 75# 5-10)

Kate was a beast...just plowing thru it! Oz was right on her heels...Feidt just kept going and getting further and further ahead of me... It was a brutal WOD...One that needs to be re-visited!

The Start to 2015's School Year

The Best Way 

To Appreciate Something,

Is To Be Without It For A While.

1/2 Murph...sort of

GREAT DAY for first day back... Now a rest/recovery day (if you choose) and we will be back at it on Thursday AM!!!

Oz and I are meeting at 6:05 AM for anyone interested...GOD WOD!
This will determine our direction for Wednesdays this year at school...
Weekly Scripture Reading...following a book...weekly talks...etc...who knows where this will lead!
But we will be better for it!!! TbtG!

School Week...

Just a practice run at getting ready for school...
For us teachers, that is tomorrow...time for WOD's to begin a bit earlier than we have been use to over the summer...BUT, we need this...
WOD's are a great way to energize yourself for the day/week, keep stress low, get the brain working & enjoy the camaraderie of your fellow peers/teachers/work associates.

Today...JB was in earlier b/c he had something else to do, but this will be typical for him... He is always doing "something extra" and then hustling everyone else up...

Val, E & I did the following:

For Time:
50 Buprees
50 Ab Mat Sit Ups
50 D/U
50 Ab Mat Sit Ups
50 Lungesteps
50 Ab Mat Sit Ups
50 D/U
50 Ab Mat Sit Ups
50 Burpees

Does not seem like it would be that much or long, but it is deceptivly longer than you think...
200 Abmat Sit Ups gets to be a lot...

Ethan ~ 23:08
Val ~ 21:35
tb ~ 19:47 (3:07 / 3:17 for the two rounds of Burpees...50 in a row, both times)

Rep scheme for Unbroken Burpees:
10 Rt step-down, Rt step-up
10 Lft step-down, Lft step-up
10 Rt step-down, Lft step-Up
10 Lft step-down, Rt step-up
10 Jackknife Style burpees

Much Needed...

The workout Friday was much needed...

High stress levels of the 1st Game of the year...football that is...
Lots of nervous energy...

Bodyweight work hit the spot and so did the competition...not so much a competition, as just flat out pushing each other to work as hard as we can...I almost puked at the end (and after all that talk a week or so ago about just that subject)...

Val was just moving thru the workout...even with her cold and no voice!
No voice is from the first week of Volleyball!!!
It has been cool to watch her work that program and the girls...Great things are happening!

So what did we do you ask?

More body weight work...

4 Rnds for Time:
