Back to life

-
This week has been rough. As many of you know, my father is severely ill. He's holding steady - but not doing well. Pulmonary Fibrosis will take him from us. I decided that it was time after a week of stress to get back on the horse - if anything, as a tribute to the value of life and every breath I take.

I did a scaled version of a WOD from earlier this week:

5 rounds for time:
10 Hang Squat Cleans @ 95#
15 pushups

12:18

I ended up doing some power cleans mixed in. All-in-all I am just glad to get back at it.

It's good to see you back. Best wishes to you and your dad, as much as that helps any.

your dad is a fighter, just like you are... he's lucky to have a son like you as you are to have a dad like him.

Almost Finished Resting

15:00 minutes on the rower. Rolled it outside in the sun. 85 degrees. Felt great. Logged 101 calories - my rower doesn't count distance :( I am starting to feel refreshed and ready to jump back into the WODs. I almost did yesterday's - but made myself wait. I'll get in after the next rest day. Oh, I still feel the swim!

AMRAP in 10 minutes 100m sprint (25m out n back x2) 10 situps 10 supermans 5 rds + 50m Did this in the school basket ball/ volleyball gym. I was able to be barefoot on the wooden court. Very comfy. I had a little twinge in my back from carrying this front-loaded fat vest but it's way better than it has been.

AMRAP in 10:00 5 DL @ 215lbs 5 Burpees 5 Squat Cleans @ 105lbs 5 Burpees Total - 4 rounds huffing and puffing. Thanks to Charles for giving me this one on FaceBook. His suggested weights were 300 on the DLs and 185 on the cleans. I knew better than to try that! HA! Warmed up with OHS and pigeons. The OHS stuff with the bar and not PVC - time to be a big boy!
