Last few days

Fri, 4-30-10

Rest - bad night's sleep, pooped. Amy and I had stayed up late planning for Disney, getting excited already. Can't wait to see boy's faces on the plane and when they see the mouse.

Sat, 5-1-10
1400, garage
Metcon
25 squat
25 pushup
25 horizontal row
25 situp
50 squat
50 pushup
50 horizontal row
50 situp
75 squat
75 pushup
75 horizontal row
75 situp

Finished in just under 23 minutes. Did set of 25s unbroken. Did all the squats unbroken, happy about that. On last set ended up mixing in situps with pushups and horizontal row in the interest of time, ahd to get ready to leave. Horizontal row tough, no way to kip so it was all upper body. Humid, pretty taxing.

Boys had an awesome soccer game. Both scored a goal and made some good defensive plays. It was pretty hot by 0930 so all the kids were pretty pooped by end of the game. Took Alex to Academy and Home Depot after the game, it was fun to have him by myself. Went to dinner with David and Lynette and Walt and his wife for his retirement Sat evening.

Felt pretty solid. Warmer weather definitely helps matters in terms of strength wods. Did several 20-25 second l-sits.

Then did following

3 rounds
10 x 255# d/l
50 double unders

~10:30. Slowed down in order to get shoes on and off between exercises, but probably would have rested then anyway. First set of deads unbroken, then broke up into two sets of 5. Pretty heavy. (Rx'd for this WOD was 275#, could have maybe done that but wanted to go a little faster). First set of DUs stopped repeatedly b/c shoe kept coming untied. Second set I got 40 unbroken. Last broke into 3 sets. Pretty much smoked me.

Took boys to Country Side park after lunch, first time since Ike we have been there. Fished on Clear Creek for a while then went to play soccer. We were having a blast until I sprained the dog bleep out of my ankle. Just goofing off with boys but slipped on the ball, went down as if hit by a sniper. We stayed at park for a while so they could shoot baskets and then I walked behind them while they rode bikes on hike and bike trail. Park was in fantastic shape, love that place. Ankle is pretty bad but not worst ever. I can walk without limp pretty much as long as I have ankle brace on. Will ice it as much as I can in evening. Will definitely slow me down for a while.

Oh yeah - mowed backyard yesterday evening and while doing so boys were jumping on tramp. Amy had put the sprinkler underneath. They just laughed and screamed and played. Very happy, very innocent. It was just 100% pure joy listening to them play. I don't ever want to forget what great little boys they are to be around. They just drove me NUTS at times yesterday, but I never ever tire of observing the little things they do that bring so much joy into our lives.And BTW they are just growing up WAY to fast..............
