5K
26:18

I signed up to do Tough Mudder in September, which includes a 13 mile run at over 6,000 Ft elevation which means I need to start running! This was kind of my bench mark 5K run, and I hope to improve from here. I plan to start doing more speed work.

Rest Day

Thruster 1RM
130 PR!!  I actually felt like I could do more, but I decided to save my strength for....

"FRAN"
Reps of 21-15-9:

Thrusters (95/65#)
Pull-ups

7:08 PR!!  Beat my last PR of 8:31 - so happy!  I was able to string the first 21 thrusters and last 9 thrusters together.  I had to break the 15 thrusters into 2 sets.  I'm still just in survival mode on my pull-ups  - not ready to strategize on those yet.

It's that time again...time to Total!

The CrossFit Total

Perform a 1RM in each of the following lifts

-Back Squat
-Shoulder Press
-Deadlift

Back Squat: 215 PR

Shoulder Press: 82 PR   I improved by only a pound but hey, you have to celebrate the small victories, too.

Deadlift: 230  This was a tie of my previous PR and I am actually really happy about it.  I pulled my back the last time I totaled during the deadlift so since then I have been taking it easy whenever I deadlift.  I haven't even focused on dead lifting at all since the last Total so to tie my previous PR is a good thing!

CrossFit Total: 527 PR!!!
