Putting both of those exercises in the same workout is just plain SICK!!! (Ok, I’ll do it). Today’s entree features again, 5 rounds of 400 meter runs. I did those today at Met-Rx on one of two GPS-measured 400 meter routes. New to all this running was doing 12 reps of 225# deadlifts after each run. The boys aren’t used to seeing someone crank out some deads and then run through the gym to get outside. (Maybe some thought I was have GI difficulties). These WODs are mostly about non-stop movement as the timer is on, but some of these guys want to stop and chat. They have too much time on their hands! Get busy and lift something! I did this workout according to the way it was prescribed. For better form, I should have scaled this back a bit to maybe 185 lbs, but I was feeling frisky and did the full amount and I am glad I did. I got a lot of work in and it was heavy. My form broke at the thrid round so I had to stop and reset several times as my grip was starting to go.

I got it done in 21:28, not that it mattered when all the liftin’ and runnin’ was done. Back to Marina tomorrow morning for more running tomorrow, Ugghh!
