Did a few chores in AM and then went down to Chinquapin to get spend afternoon and get boys. Nice weather, boys had fun but they were pretty pooped.

Deadlift
5-5-5-3-3-3-1
230-250-270-280-285-290-295

Did this while mowing front yard. Felt pretty solid, though 295 was pretty slow moving. Gorgeous weather.

Both boys scored goals in their soccer game, they were excited. I missed them b/c I was coaching on other field.

They were having a blast at the Astros, called us basically each time they scored.

Amy and I devoured hamburgers and fries at Pappas Burgers, think that is our new favorite place on earth, but were both ravenous when we got there. Milkshake not bad either.

Metcon
4 rounds
row 500M
rest 3 minutes

1:40, 1:41, 1:50, 1:45

Not too bad. Could have Pr'd on the first one but the rower I was using was too close to wall so could not get full extension. Easier once I switched rowers. Rolled before starting the WOD, stretched during rest intevals. Worked hand stands for a few minutes before and after. Horrible nights sleep but didn't feel too bad all things considered.

30 DU
15 x 135# thruster
30 pullup
30 burpee
150' walking lunge with 45# plate ovhd

This was the chipper WOD that was last event at 2009 games. Finished right at 30 minutes. Cleans heavier than I would have liked but OK, broke into three sets. TTB terrible, grip already smoked. BJ unbroken but only 18" or so. Subbed weighted pullups and dips for muscle ups Weighted pullups slow, multiple sets, but dips unbroken. Push press unbroken. DU a disaster b/c my jump rope broke so had to break those up into 3-4 sets. Thrusters were VERY heavy, have definitely lost ground on those. Only three sets on pullups and 3 on burpees which was not bad. Lunges were fine. Weights were a little to heavy for me to go as fast as I should have, in retrospect should have lowered the weight a little. Stretched and rolled after.

WKND

Sat, 4-17-10

A bleep ton of yard work. Amy took A and I took B out to dinner, always fun to have them alone. They had a big day, soccer game and then played outside all day. Gorgeous weather. Have really been into hitting baseballs the last few days.

I was exhausted all day but managed to get this done while playing with boys in the front after the rain. Felt OK, need to get a belt for the house when doing deads. Also took boys to park in AM, we walked a country mile there before the rain started. They were so proud of themselves for being able to follow directions on their own and build a couple of pretty big Lego cars. That was neat to see.

Stretched then did tabata situps and pushups

Sun, 4-11-10

0700, Clear Lake

Ran 1/2 marathon, finished in 1:54, ~8:44 mile pace. Felt great for first 7-8 miles, maintaining 8:30-35 pace, the started to fatigue. Overall a good experience, if I do it again sub 1:50 is possible but will absolutely need to put in more miles. Knees and feet sore, sure I will be stiff tomorrow.

Played outside all day with boys (and Avery for a little while), soccer, baseball, basketball trampoline. Gorgeous weather.

Watched the Masters off and on, boys were so excited about Mickelson b/c they had seen him at Shell Open.

Fri/Sat, 4-9/10-10

Rest

An awesome couple of days though it was a whirlwind. Rachel wedding so rehearsal dinner on Thursday, wedding on Friday. Boys did great and had a blast. they looked so handsome in tuxes and behaved beautifully. They really enjoyed the reception as well, especially chocolate fountain.

Sat we played half of soccer game before thunder sent us home. And the birthday party was a success. They had a great time, and won't soon forget the looks on their faces when we sang happy birthday to them.

I love you boys!!!!

Ran 5 miles after everybody left from Easter lunch, ran to Clear Creek and back, 8:48 pace. Very windy, felt slow and tired from eating big meal. Also did a 2 minute front plank.
