I got up at 5 am Friday morning before work and did a CF WOD and easy 3 miler. The WOD called for 45# BB OH walking lunges for 50 feet and 21 burpees for 5 rounds. I did my first round with 45# but just couldn’t keep my balance well enough and I’m not about to fall in the back room at 5 am, I’d probably lay there half the day! (: I went down to 35# and finished in 8 something, I wrote it down on my card and now can’t find it. This Wod killed my quads, they were on FIIYYYYAAAAHH! Then I went to the TM to do the easy 3 mile run for this week. I have seen a lady about my age on the TM several mornings since I have started going in the AM before work. I rarely ever talk to people in the gym but I decided to go over and introduce myself. I’m glad I did because she is a 5K runner for a long time and probably one of the only 40 year old female runners in my town. I did my 3 miles 27 minutes, which was still a little faster than my training plan called for.
Yesterday was the CFT (cross fit total) which is 1 back squat, 1 shoulder press and 1 deadlift for the total number of pounds. I think my numbers improved but I’ll have to go back through my blogs to be sure. Back squat-150, shoulder press-75 and deadlift-180=405.
Today is an easy 4 mile run and then it’s back to the real running!!!

You found a 40 y/o runner? F-O-R-T-Y??? Seriously? How in the world could an old gal like that run, with her supp-hose and orthopedic shoes? And wouldn’t the blue hair distract the other runners?
Old people. Ew!
