WOD
>> Wednesday, May 20, 2009
Nothing new here... just reporting on a workout I did tonight.
The WOD called for 4 rounds of:
Run 400 meters
50 squats
I was still a little nervous to do any sprints. Last week I ran 2 miles one night and my knees and hips ached for days. But I decided to do the intervals at a slower-than-typical sprint but still faster than a regular pace. I tried to focus on my form the entire time. I ended up doing the intervals at a 8:30/mile pace or a little faster.
On paper, I'll be the first to admit that the workout looks deceptively easy. Let me tell you though, after two rounds of 50 squats, my legs were feeling them. The next two rounds weren't graceful but I completed the full workout in 12:28.
Work has been incredibly crazy lately... I like being busy, I like having so much work that it's almost an art form to fit it all in and get it all done. I love having to multi-task and all that jazz... so I don't really mind, but I can honestly say that I am BEYOND busy lately.
We're going through our annual "interim" audit from the Corporate office right now and all of our documents and back-up is due by Friday...this happens every year so we knew this was coming. But, in addition to this "review", we were also randomly chosen by a third-party auditing company that will review only a few offices each year. We are one of them. All of their document requests are due by next Friday.
And, as if that wasn't enough, our office was also randomly chosen as one of the Corporate Officer's SITE VISITS that happens in July. Okay, I know what you're thinking, "July? that's a long way away..." but we have to start preparing now. There's a lot to do. And all of this stuff is just in addition to all of the day-to-day tasks I have on my plate.
But I love it. I've been happier at work the past couple of weeks than I have been in a while. I love the pressure and I love witnessing the never-ending communication and constant collaboration I see from all team members.
But I'm sleepy when I get home- drained from running around all day long at work.
I'm just glad I found the energy to workout tonight.

Work can definitely zap the energy right out of a person! Sounds like there's a handful of us out in blogland struggling with energy!
Just think, the week is more than half over!
So you're one of THOSE people at work ;)
Nice job on your workout! I'd have wobbly legs after that.
I'm going to say "I think it's the time of year". Everyone I know is crazy busy. Go you for taking it on with grace and a smile and not being a whiny brat. I love that about you - totally wish I was more like that.
Awesome job, Kelsa.
Great job keeping up at work, wow. Sounds intense! I do like being busy though, it's so fulfilling and makes the day go by fast.
Great workout once again. You're so strong. I should do leg stuff.
