Movin' on East

Today was my first official workout in the NEW CF St. Paul facility! Tyler coached the classes and owner Mike joined in on the fun. It was a tough WOD, especially because I don't think I'm all rested up from the certification WODs this weekend, but I still finished in a decent time.

I came early to teach the Kids Class...but as usual, no one came. That's fine by me for now because I have to write a paper for school, but I hope word gets out eventually! I helped coach the 4 PM class for a bit, then did the WOD with the 5 PM class.

For time:
200m Run
40 KB swings (1 pood = 36 lbs = 16 kg)
400m Run
30 KB swings
800m Run
20 KB swings

Yikes! That last 800m run was rough! I thought it would never end and at one point my ankle started aching a bit - maybe I'm starting to run a little funny in my Vibrams? I finished this one in 12:08 and my new friend and coach Melanie from this weekend finished in 12:09. It was truly great to be working out with an athlete that's close to my level. It was competitive in a fun way!

Melanie and I also worked on our front squats today doing a little 3 set x 3 rep "warm-up." I got up to 115# on the last set, and felt like I could have done a little more, but I didn't want to kill my legs before all the running and KB swings!
