WOD So Hard

[wodsohard235]

New PR: my first completed @spartanrace sprint I admit, I took this for granted...as I have taken my fitness for granted the past few months. I tried to monster it, and it, in turn, monstered me. I knew I had the drive and mental fortitude to finish, but I found myself in deep water (literally and figuratively) multiple times during the race. I was reminded you are never as fit as you can be; fitness knows many shapes, colors, and creeds...one size does not fit all; we are all in this together; friends are not easily made (for me, anyway) so cherish the ones you have; sometimes distance can put life's events in perspective: things that should be small become small...and things that should be big become big. I plan on competing in another race soon. I also plan on re-prioritizing my health and fitness. #fitness #functionalfitness #spartan #spartanrace #finisher #sprint #pr #atlanta #SpartanEndurance #aroo #arooarooaroo (at Centennial Olympic Horse Park)

Today's training: FOR TIME This is my 5th training session in a week. That's a PR for me as of late. Starting a sort of Whole Life/Paleo challenge with a group of other functional fitness and Spartan enthusiasts. Shooting to be much more fit by May...just in time for the Ohio Beast. Also going to make a point of finding my local @crossfit box and hit them up while traveling @spartanendure @spartanrace #functionalstrength #functionaltraining #dumbbells #dumbbellsnatch #dumbbellthrusters #travelwod #traveltraining #crossfit #spartan #spartanrace #spartanendure #spartansuper #spartantraining

...and I'm pretty sure I hate them too. I used to love them, back when I could pump out 120 in 7 minutes. Today's training: 12 minutes to complete as many reps as possible of: 800 meter run (done once) 35 burpees 35 sit-ups 35 squats 35 push-ups 25 burpees 25 sit-ups 25 squats 25 push-ups 15 burpees 15 sit-ups 15 squats 15 push-ups This is the initial/benchmark workout for my group's @spartanrace / @spartanendure challenge. When the challenge is over, we will re-do and compare results. So stoked to see how the group will respond and improve during this challenge. I can't wait to see how far in the dust they leave their old race performances #functionalfitness #functionalstrength #functionaltraining #crossfit #spartanrace #spartanendure #spartantraining #burpees #800meters #running #situps #airsquats #squats #pushups #purposefulmovement #purposefultraining #trexhatesburpeea #travelwod #traveltraining

First post in quite a while. Note: if you enable 2 factor authentication for Tumblr, don't fucking lose your phone. Now then; in this pic: Cleans = 225, 5x2, reset after each rep. Caffeine and Kilos shirt, Hylete shorts, Nike Romaleos. You see the concerned looks on the faces of the folks in the background? I had a great WOD; payback for a Garage Games WOD involving deadlifts and burpees. I was riding high from PR-ing that bitch...but right here I was thigh bumping...not pulling to my hips.

So I did "The Vortex", the creation of Armen @heynaked and Eddie @eddieifft of @wodcastpodcast. I would say " thank you" but I wouldn't really mean it. For those who don't know: "The Vortex" Run 1 mile EMOTM alternating 20 push-ups and 20 squats. Go until you finish the mile or you get caught in the vortex. After sulking back to my start point after failing to complete my push-ups 10 minutes in, I did: 21-18-15-12-9-6-3 95lb power cleans Sit-ups Back extensions I had to sub KB cleans @ 55lbs.

Today @crossfit865. Used the 70lb. KB. That b@st@rd was hard but fun to throw around after burning the arms with decline push-ups and legless wall balls. Nothing like being unable to throw that medball very far at all in round 2 to humble you. #crossfit #crossfit865 #wallballs #kettlebell #pushups

#Repost from @1scottmcgee with @repostapp ---Amen. Such a good quote Socrates. One of my favorites. I've always felt this way for many reasons. The biggest one being family. The other is towards our sheepdogs. #fitnessisaweapon #fuckfathertime #getafterit #lazinessisadisease

Today @crossfit865. Pushups were done with feet on a 24" box. Weight on holds was 45. Not sure if it was lack of discretion with my diet and sleep, or this was really that hard, or what...but this really whipped my ass. #wallballs #pushups #crossfit #reallywinded
