Chill Lifting

 7 Heavy Deadlift rounds with 4 minutes in between.  I'm down 12.5lbs from my pr, but that was all I could do today. 125lbs. Trying to be more consistent, but being retired is just plain busy. Ring dips in between lifts, I didn't count them.

Squat Cleans

 So the whole squat clean move is hard for me to put together correctly, however my squats are becoming a thing of beauty.  Ok--not really I didn't video them and nobody told me that--I just feel it. Must be so!

Ring rows subbed for the pull ups.

5X AMRAP 

6 Squat Cleans

12 Pull Ups (ring rows)

No Complaints

 It's a good thing I did that "training run" on Sunday.  

Todays workout was: AMRAP 25

400M Run

Double Dumbbell Farmers Carry 100M (20lbs ea)

Alternating with a sled push/pull 100M after each run.

I got 4 Rounds plus 1 run. This was a fun workout, I haven't used the sleds before and it was fun to see that I actually could do it. The runs went ok too, totally not me to not complain about running.

Mid Court Crisis

 Those down the middle shots--they end up being mine every time, and I miss them every time.

Plan vs Reality

 It was supposed to be 2 minute walk, 30 sec sprint.  Reality 2 minute walk 30 sec jog.  My brain always thinks it wants to start running again, and maybe do the St G half next year.  My body says, "fool".

45 minute run walk, beautiful morning.

5X AMRAP 2:30

 9 Thrusters

9 Toes to Bar

2:30 rest between rounds, someday I'll say easy peasy!

I got 8 rounds plus some amount I've forgotten, I think 25.

Nate

 It may have been scaled and look nothing like Nate, but 17 rounds + 2 of

2 Ring Rows

4 Push ups

8 Kettlebell swings (1 pood)

10/23/24

My morning walk.

 

Targets

 7 Rounds

Echo Bike Calories--4

Burpee to Target-- yay I could actually jump and hit the bar

Wall Balls to Target--not yay but I did hit a few

I think I got 132

Memory Training

 

So much to remember, last week I got to class without my paddle...well you know it was a busy morning and I got distracted and....this week my paddle went with me. What was the score again, and am I 1 or 2?

3X

I actually got  to CF 3 times this week, must be a new recent record.

5 Rounds 1 Minute stations

Banded Pull Ups

Weighted Sit Ups

Wall Walks

The wall walks were killer, I could get two and start the third, but not finish, not because of the time, my arms just couldn't do it.

Total Reps:  118 

Pipes and Sand

 Well a PVC pipe filled with sand is a step up from PVC pipe no sand!

5RFT

400M Row

15 Overhead Squats

Time 18:25

Before the WOD we did Hang Squat Snatches with two overhead squats.  They're just a struggle even with a light load.

14"

 AMRAP 2:30 Deadlifts and Burpee Box Jump Overs

2:30 rest between rounds. My achievement for today was using a 14" box for the first round.  I'm not afraid of it anymore and maybe next time I'll add two more inches.

Score: 10 rounds + 12

Schedule

Pickleball class this morning was very good, I seem to always need to repeat the basics.  Mary invited me  to move to the advanced class on Fridays, I would like to do that, then I could play with a group that plays every Monday the same time as my class, I would not like to do that because...skills.  I know I should make the change to get better.

1st Tournament

 Today went way better than I expected, I was definitely outside my comfort zone but had a great time.  The four ladies I got paired with for rotating doubles were great fun, and can I just say, "Never underestimate a Margaret." I won two and lost two, for me that's a win.  Mixed doubles didn't happen until noon and it was well over 100 degrees so not as fun. We played six games, the winning stats were not so great but we did win some and had double digit points in the ones we did lose.

Chair

 I bought a new chair--yeah that's a pickleball thing.  Not nervous about tomorrow, no, nope, nah...

Today and Yesterday

 Is last minute practice helpful?  My brain kept trying to remind me how to hit the ball and I would miss, I gotta trust the muscle memory and not think, when I don't think I play better.

Rhyme or Reason

 Decided not to go to CrossFit and work on my pickleball a little in light of the fastly approaching tournament on Sunday.  My play this morning was stellar!  If I play like this on Sunday I will do OK ish, unfortunately there seems to be no rhyme or reason to why I have a great pickleball day and a day when I can't even get my serve in or return a dink.  Who knows what will happen on Sunday.

Angie

 100 Jumping Pull-ups

100 Box Push-ups

100 Sit ups

100 Air Squats

Air squats were not as deep as they should have been, my perpetual problem.  Time: 25:26

October Pickleball

 Off to a good start with a new class.

Choices

 This morning:

Walk or

CrossFit (row and run, who needs that? Oh yeah, probably me)

Pickleball--what would you do?  Me too! Pickleball it was, and I can't say my play was stellar, I was really struggling this morning but it was fun.  This weekend is the first annual St George Weekend Family Pickleball Tournament, ok I just made that up and they don't know about it yet, but I told them all to bring their paddles.  I'm putting myself in the play Brian and Kyle bracket after they run the marathon.  It probably won't help.  My today project is to put together a grab bag of prizes for the grandkids every time they score on Mimi. Super grand prize if they can score on Papa.

Front Squats

 Front squats 3-3-3-3-3 took my weight down a little for the last two sets. Mostly just posting to say yeah I was there.
