A Good Running Partner

Woke up this morning and my quads felt like crap! As the day went on though, they got a little better. Headed to Prevail a little early so I could throw Mya in the water a bit and Pip could throw rocks in the pond. Really feeling good by this point and excited to WOD. Gotta work this soreness out and for heavy squat day tomorrow!

Strength
Weighted DH Pull Ups      --- 5 x 3    (3-3-3@44#, 3@49#, 3@55#)
Weighted Strict Ring Dips --- 5 x 3   (3-3-3@44#, 3@49#, 3@55#)
- Got to WOD with Chris & Charlie tonight. Those guys always provide a good push and a fun atmosphere. Felt strong out of the bottom on the pull ups. Ring dips felt just as good and worked on rotating externally at the top, which is really making a difference. Great work overall.

WOD
10:00 Running Clock
  1 mile run
  ME HSPUs
= 15
- I usually get pretty bored on runs so I ran with Mya tonight. Running with Mya keeps me moving a little faster and my mind from focusing on the monotonous task I find myself in. I made a little challenge to Chris on whether or not he could still get more HSPUs than me with his 1:00 head start on them. I was pretty close. I finished my mile at 8:30 and he had already been done for about a minute. The run wasn't my best. I felt pretty good still when I finished and think I probably had a lot more left in me. Chris had 10 done already when I walked through the door. I dropped down and hit 15 UB (kip & strict). When I got up there was about :40ish left on the clock and Chris was now at 20. I tried to shake it out real quick and get back at it, but I had nothing left. I came down and tried one more time and still had nothing left as time ran down. Chris finished with 26. He won :(
- Looking back I should've shut down my first set at 10-12 and rested and then I should have had enough juice to go in 2s or 3s.
- Overall, a fun WOD with friends and I set out to do what my main goal was...loosen my legs up a bit to prepare for heavy squat day tomorrow!

Cash Out
30 C2B Pull Ups (in fewest sets possible)
= 15-10-6
- Another challenge Charlie, Chris, & I made to have some fun tonight. Originally, cash out was only 15, but we took it up to 30 in the fewest sets possible. It took Chris 4-5 sets, Charlie 3 sets, I did 31 reps in 3 sets just so I could say I beat Charlie :)
