Sprints at the track - 8 x ~50m
8.68, 8.45, 8.56, 8.18, 8.00, 8.25, 8.43, 7.96
Notes:
-Reach, Rock and Lift - ROM is getting a better.
-YTWL- Upped the weight and it was a struggle to finish the last few reps on W and L, shoulders were burning hard at this point.
-push-up plus - wrist pain is decreasing from the various stretches I got from Greg.
-Front squat - So glad I didn't up the weight like I originally intended, that 15 seconds less of rest catches up with you quickly!
-DB Curl - Decent weight, threw these here rather than at the end.
-Supine Hip extensions w/ leg curl- 1st set easy, last 2 sets after front squats not so easy
-Hammer lunge - Front - OH out of all 3 variations seems to be the hardest.
-Knees to Elbows - I was spent but I did better this time than last time.
-Sprints - 8 of ~50m - I say ~50m because apparently the new track they built at the AFB has not distance marks on the lanes. I did a pace count to get 50m since on a flat surface 100m ~= 66 paces. This wasn't too bad exertion wise but I am so SLOW!!!! I wanted to scream whenever I would finish. UGHHH!! My best time for 50m's is 7.96????

Notes:

-YTWL- Struggle to finish the last few reps on W and L, shoulders were burning hard at this point.
-pushup plus - unless I can find a way to alleviate the wrist pain I may have to find something else to sub for this.
-Front squat - Not too bad of a weight but still an ass kicker at 12 reps.
-Supine Hip extensions w/ leg curl- 1st set easy, last 2 sets after front squats not so easy
-Hammer lunge - OH - Alternating arms halfway through seems to be a better idea than doing one arm all the way
-Knees to Elbows - I was spent.
-DB curls - I'm going to start throwing these back in at the end of my workouts, I was actually impressed that I hadn't curled in more than 2 years and I was still able to work close to what I used to do on a BB'ing split.

March 15, 2007
This week has felt like one huge slump for me, I know I should hit the track/road I just don't feel like freaking doing it by the time I get home. I'd rather take the kids to the park and enjoy the weather rather than go torture myself with a run.
March 14, 2007
-Went to the park with the kids for 45 min.
-Interval Run - 2.41 min run/1.58 min walk, 17.7 sec sprint/41.60 sec walk, 13.57 sec sprint/55.57 sec walk, 17.83 sec sprint/1.12min, 16.87 sec sprint, 2.45 min walk.
March 13, 2007
Went to the park with the kids for an hour, I SUCK at throwing a spiral, I'll be able to get a good throw in once every 20 throws and be unable to duplicate that, this is something I really want to work on.
Juggling - 5 minutes w/ 2 balls
Notes:
-Must get better at throwing that stupid football
-Need to review the juggling video some more the 3rd ball is throwing me off bigtime.

45 x 6 reps, 95 x 6 reps
Notes:
-Reach, Rock and Lift - Looked easy on paper but these kicked my ass, it was a struggle to do the Lift portion with my palm facing up. My left shoulder was definitely making some weird noises on the "lift" part. No pain, almost like a popping sound?
-YTWL- Struggle to finish the last few reps on W and L, shoulders were burning hard at this point.
-Snatch Grip Deadlift - Started out on a box but after the first working set I went down in weight and did them off the ground since the 25# plates are smaller than the 45#'s.
-Cable Pull Throughs - I've never done these before and wanted to replace Romanian Deadlifts sine I've been doing those the last few months. I think maybe I was doing them wrong because my the end my lower back was burning, or perhaps pairing them with SGDL's weren't the best idea.
-Lunge w/ stepup - Was originally planning on Barbell Bulgarian Split squats but someone grabbed the rack so I subbed these in.
-V-ups - Ouch
-Barbell Complex - I thought I made good time through my workout so I threw in a complex, I didn't realize that I didn't set my watch forward! I was actually over time!

-Row - I haven't rowed in 2 weeks? I could feel it my leg drive just felt like it was lacking something.

Programming Focus March 5, 2007 - April 14, 2007:
Programming Focus March 5, 2007 - April 14, 2007:
I have a PT test on April 14th and though I don't have a problem passing the run, the 2-mile run is still my weak point and I'm going to attempt to bring up my run times for the next 6 weeks. Before this I would run once a week, so I wanted to ramp it up rather than jumping in.
Week 1: Run 2x - 1 Interval run, 1 timed 1 mile run + a few sprints
Week 2: Run 2x - 1 Interval run, 1 timed 1.25 mile run + a few sprints
Week 3: Run 3x - 1 interval run, 1 timed 1.5 mile run + a few sprints, 1 session of 400m's
Week 4: Run 3x - 1 interval run, 1 time 1.75 mile run + a few sprints, 1 session of 400m's
Week 5: Run 3 x - 1 interval run, 1 time 2 mile run + a few sprints, 1 session of 400m's
Week 6: Run 2 x - 1 Interval run, 1 session of 400m's - no running 3 days prior to the 14th
During the next 6 weeks I'm also going to take off from all upper body vertical and horizontal push/pull exercises other than the ones outline in Phase I of this article:
http://www.t-nation.com/readTopic.do?id=818555
My shoulders have never really been in a lot of pain, other than occasional grinding noises and a twinge here and there. My short term focus is to really get my shoulders back to 100% capacity.
Twice a week I'll do the Phase I outlined in the link and I also modified Fat Loss II from The New Rules of Lifting and took out all the upper body stuff.
Until I start running 3x per week I'll do 1-2 rowing sessions either interval or 500m-2000m's. Once I start running 3x per week I'll see about cutting down a little.
After the weekend of the 14th I'll reevaluate again depending on how my shoulders feel.
Any input/criticism would be appreciated as I've never been much of a runner and the most I ever ran was back in Basic Training in 2003 and I ended up with horrible shin splits+a 2nd degree ankle sprain.
I have a PT test on April 14th and though I don't have a problem passing the run, the 2-mile run is still my weak point and I'm going to attempt to bring up my run times for the next 6 weeks. Before this I would run once a week, so I wanted to ramp it up rather than jumping in.
Week 1: Run 2x - 1 Interval run, 1 timed 1 mile run + a few sprints
Week 2: Run 2x - 1 Interval run, 1 timed 1.25 mile run + a few sprints
Week 3: Run 3x - 1 interval run, 1 timed 1.5 mile run + a few sprints, 1 session of 400m's
Week 4: Run 3x - 1 interval run, 1 time 1.75 mile run + a few sprints, 1 session of 400m's
Week 5: Run 3 x - 1 interval run, 1 time 2 mile run + a few sprints, 1 session of 400m's
Week 6: Run 2 x - 1 Interval run, 1 session of 400m's - no running 3 days prior to the 14th
During the next 6 weeks I'm also going to take off from all upper body vertical and horizontal push/pull exercises other than the ones outline in Phase I of this article:

My shoulders have never really been in a lot of pain, other than occasional grinding noises and a twinge here and there. My short term focus is to really get my shoulders back to 100% capacity.

Running drills 1-9 from CFJ Sep. 06
Crossfit WOD 070227

15.73 - BEST
16.66
16.76
16.72
16.75
16.38
16.60
18 - WORST
Rest varied from 2min to 6 minutes
Notes:
-WOD - I did 9 sprints, by the time I was on my 5th the HS athletic teams started getting on the track for their warmups and such and this was dragging my rest times out to 6 minutes at times. I got very cold and my 9th sprting was CRAP.
-I am one slow MOFO, UGH when I was looking at peoples times I was thinking ok so 13-15 I'll be good....NOT ugh This workout also put a hurting on me I was not feeling well afterwards I felt super drained.
-I am SO SORE, my feet, calves, hamstrings, obliques, rectus abdominus, serratus anterior. It hurts to laugh/move/sneeze/ go bathroom even, basically anything that causes the area between my ribcage and my pelvis to move. I need to sprint like that more often and not once every few months. OUCH
