July 20 - Fran

Trying to build on our efforts from the last time we did Fran, today we bumped up the weight we were using on the thrusters and I went to smaller bands on my pull ups.

Officially, this is what we did today:

"Fran"

21 - Thrusters (90#)
21 - Pull Ups
15 - Thrusters (90#)
15 - Pull Ups
9 - Thrusters (90#)
9 - Pull Ups

My time was improved by around a minute (9:39.9 this time) and on the whole I was feeling pretty good about this. I thought I was sneaking up close to the prescribed women's weight of 95# on the thrusters.

Except ....

*sigh*

Except that 95# is NOT the prescribed weight for women. In fact, the prescribed weight is 65#! So once again, I have made a WOD even harder than it needs to be. *double sigh*

We're going to re-do this WOD in a few weeks. And for a change we are both going to both be using the prescribed weight.

Maybe then I won't have to sit in the corner with a dunce hat after the workout.

Oh, and we finished with 35 knees to elbows. I'm already feeling my abs ache. Along with most of the rest of my body.

June 29: Fran

Today we had a full schedule, complete with a quick run out of town for a family gathering. So, very out of character, we decided to get in a workout before we left for the day.

The good parts: it was MUCH cooler in the morning than our late evening WODs and it felt good to know we had gotten it all out of the way before heading out of town.

The bad parts: this WOD tore my hands up royally! UG! and even though it was cooler than our last few workouts, it was very sticky and humid. *sigh* I guess you can't expect much different in June in Texas.

"Fran"

21 - Thrusters (85#)
21 - Pull Ups
15 - Thrusters (85#)
15 - Pull Ups
9 - Thrusters (85#)
9 - Pull Ups

I managed to finish in 10:32. Which is not bad. For me anyway. And I managed 85# on the thrusters, which is slightly higher than the last time I did thrusters. So I am starting to sneak up on the actual prescribed weight (95# for women).

Not a bad way to kick off the weekend (imho).
