Tuesday March 15 - Day 66

My knees were better today than after that workout yesterday.  I did have to sit here like a dork with an ice pack on the right knee and a bag of frozen veggies on the other for a little bit last night.  The stationary bike and stairs are pretty hard on my knees.

I received my workout only 2 hours after asking for it, so I knew it was going to be an easier one (at least, I hoped!)  He waits on the super hard ones to send them after 3pm, so I don't freak out all day long before the actual workout.  He knows me well.

10 burpees
10 shoulder press
10 db bent over rows
30 OH lunges (10#)
5 rounds

So yeah.  It looks easy on paper.  Let me tell you - it was HARD and I know exactly what it was that made it difficult for me.  The burpees make my life miserable.  I loathe them.  And they make it hard for me to get through this crap some days.  Today was one of those days.  Had I just had the lifting and the lunges, I would have sailed right through this WOD (Workout of the Day).

Our "girlie" bar (as we like to call it) which weighs 35 pounds is jacked up so I had go up 10 pounds and use the 45 pound silver bar.  Oh dude.  Not digging that on the shoulder presses!  However, it's about time I upped the weight that I use during some of these. 

I figured that since I went up on the presses, I'd go up on the db rows too and went from the 15 pound db usually used to the 20 pound.  My arms?  Will more likely than not hate me tomorrow and I'm okay with that.

The overhead lunges actually worked my arms too cause I had to hold that stinking 10 pound weight over my head the entire time.  My arms were pretty tired.

Tomorrow might have me sitting on pins and needles all afternoon starting at about 1pm.  We'll see.  I'll ask him to make an extra long or hard WOD (that's what she said) for me since I know I'll have some extra stress to sweat out.
