Fitness for Bears, Orcas, and Roadrunners

Three girls' adventures in exercise...a place for motivation, praise and bragging...and maybe a little whining.

Have fun storming the castle!!

Big Day

So, Jogo's Lean & Green Challenge officially started today. I've done pretty well with my Paleo-only foods, although I'm not quite eating enough. When has that ever happened?! Ha! Because it was the first day of the challenge, Em (Jogo owner) decided to do it up good for today's WOD:
Murph
1 mile run
100 pull-ups
200 push-ups
300 air squats
1 mile run
(Body armor/weight vest optional...)

So, this is just about the longest classic Crossfit WOD. And boy was it ever long! You can split the middle portion up however you choose - lots of people do 5 pulls, 10 push, 15 squats for 20 rounds. Well, I don't know if that's what *lots* of people do, but that's one of the recommendations. Anyhow, split it up however you want, then wander off for your second one mile run.
My version was a 9:13 1-mile run to start, then 20 rounds of 5 jumping pull-ups, 10 knee push-ups, and 15 air squats, then a 10:20 1-mile run. Total time, you ask? 57:18. Made it in just under an hour. Ugh.
The real bummer about it all is knowing that this will be our WOD on the last day of the Lean & Green Challenge in August. So, I've got that to look forward to... Still, I made it through it. It sucked. And I hustled home to cook up some more Paleo food!
