August 25, 2009 - "Gonna fly now"



What a great scene from one of the most inspirational movies of all time. I did a lot today in my training and watched this video a few times before I went to the gym. It was a nice boost of energy and gave me some motivation to push myself even though I was a little tired from the last few days. I finished this day with a dinner of steak, roasted and stir fried veggies, and a banana with almond butter.

What a beautiful day...

Today's Workout:

8 AM- 5k run with huskies
5:30 PM - Crossfit.com Workout of the day
7:30 PM - ~5k Run with huskies

That's right, two runs today, plus crossfit and cardio at the gym. Ironman is going to be a 10-12 hour race, so I have to be ready to push myself at all hours of the day.

From Crossfit.com:

Complete as many rounds as possible 20 minutes of:
95 pound Thruster, 5 reps
95 pound Hang Powercleans, 7 reps
95 pound Sumo Deadlift High-pull, 10 reps

Post rounds completed to comments.

This was a killer workout after the last few days of a race, hike, and two big days of legs on Crossfit.com. I completed 6 rounds, plus 5 Thrusters in exactly 20 minutes. After, I jumped rope for 15 mins which included 100 double unders and jumped in the pool.
