Friday March 18 - Day 69

I texted The Trainer this morning for a workout and he said he'd send one.  At around 3pm, I really didn't want to make one up myself (I tend to go easy on myself) so I texted him with "Making me feel like you forgot about me...." And his one word response was "Nope..."

This told me the WOD was going to appear difficult or it would look easy and be extremely difficult.  At 3:45, he texted me the workout.  I said "mmkay thanks...I think."

5 stair runs
21-15-9
burpees
shoulder press
and then:
100 calories on the bike

HOLY crap!  I knew I could blow through the stairs and push through the 21/15/9 thing.  I hate anything with the 21/15/9 thing in it.  But I get it done and usually feel accomplished at the end of the work out.

I kicked butt at the stairs.  Of all things to get good at, right?  I still end up walking about halfway through, but I've started pushing myself a little bit and running some and walking others during those runs that just kill me.  I took a 3 minute rest after the stairs, which also allowed me to prepare the barbell and the mat for my other exercises.

Remember the 35 pound bar is jacked up, so I HAD to use the 45 pound bar for the shoulder presses, which actually turn into push presses when my body gets tired and my arms feel weak (usually around 7 reps in the first round).

The burpees make me want to puke within the first 10.  I don't know what it is about those things, but they do not agree with me.  I struggle with those, big time.

Once I finished the burpees and shoulder presses, I took another 3 minutes rest until I could breathe sort of normally again.

I climbed up on the bike and started peddling.  Holy hell, my knees where hurting and then right above my knee felt like it was on freaking fire.  When I finally crawled off the bike and flopped down on the mat to rest/recover, my thighs actually started to twitch.  They were twitching!!

After I got home, I texted him and said "I completely take back that "thanks" from earlier.  That was gross." His response?  "Ha...got ya!"   Fucker!  I responded with a "Blahaha indeed you did!  My thighs are twitching and my arms feel like wet noodles.  Pfft.  Fucker.  :P"

Now to enjoy my two days of rest from him kicking my ass even while he's on vacation.
