Perfect timing

Finally- it's FRIDAY! Wahoo!

I really needed the end of the week to come. I really need the weekend.

Michael picked me up from work tonight since he's done at noon on Fridays and we went straight to the gym. It's probably better that we did that b/c if I came home first, I'm not sure I would have been as disciplined as yesterday and actually make it to the gym.

Tonight's workout was "Michael" and it calls for:
3 rounds
800 meter run (1/2 mile)
50 sit-ups
50 back extensions

Since I'm not letting myself sprint yet and my knees and hips reminded me of that after the workout earlier in the week, I opted for a bike instead. Since I figured my pace would have been an 8:00/mile, or 4:00 to go 1/2 mile, I decided to sprint on the bike for 4 minutes as a substitution to the run.

I think it was a good sub...I mean, it was still hard and I think that's what I was going for. I bumped up the resistence, kept my legs cruising, and maintained a high RPM.

My total time was 26:53.

I'm pretty sure I've done this workout once before, but I can't find any blog posts on it, so either I didn't do it, or I just didn't blog about it. Ah well.

Tomorrow is a scheduled rest day for CrossFit and it is also the start of my 3-day weekend. How absolutely fabulous is it that those two things fall on the same day??? Oh, how glorious. I'm so happy for a few days off and one of those being a rest day from my workouts as well! Thank you Lord! I will not feel guilty tomorrow when I sit on my duff all day long...

After the week at work that I've had, and the last 6 CrossFit workouts I've put myself through, the timing couldn't be more perfect.
