Calf hurt a little bit during the first two laps and during the last 200m. It's definitely sore now, so hopefully lots of icing will help it heal up soon.

Hike to a nap on the beach!
Scott and I joined Kristen and Scott for a hike around Point Reyes, a beautiful stretch of northern CA coastline. 4.5 easy hike (flat, smooth trail) to the beach. Spent 2+ hours there napping & chatting, then hiked 4.5 miles back.
Scott and I fasted the entire day, except for ~200 calories worth of cheese. (We stopped at a local creamery/cheese factory and couldn't *not* sample before we bought!) We had dinner around 8pm, which made it a 22-hour fast. I felt a little low-energy, and a little hungry, but not ravenous or lethargic.

400's & squats @CFD
5 rounds: 400m run + 50 squats
- 16:57 -
Times:
2:51
3:24
3:33
3:42
3:30
Last time I did this (November '08), I got 4 rounds in ~16 minutes.
Right calf is definitely not right... left one is starting to feel off too. No running for me for the next week.

Track workout
5 x 2-minute intervals: run 200m, then do push-ups for the remainder of the interval.
I finished the 200's in about 40 seconds every time. The last one was 43 I think?
Push-ups: 20, 20, 15, 10, 10 (approx.)
Tough ten minutes! My right calf has been bugging me for about a week now. It only hurts once I stop running. Definitely feels more like a tendon or ligament than muscle. Hard to stretch. Super sensitive when I try to foam roll it out. I guess I should ice. Ugh.

Muscle-up skill work @CFD
Worked on muscle-up transitions - the part between the top of your pull-up and the bottom of your dip. Nigel gave us great imagery: think of a dolphin jumping through a hoop. I started on my knees and kept plenty of weight on the tops of my feet throughout.
25 dolphins
25 kipping pull-ups
A far cry from the 30 muscle-ups (or 120 pull-ups/120 dips) Rx'd... didn't feel like much of a workout. Good thing I have a track workout tonight.

Scaled Diane @CFD
15-12-9 reps of:
155# deadlifts (all sets unbroken! Felt relatively easy!)
Handstand push-ups - did the first set with bands (blue & green), and the last sets against the wall with a shallow range-of-motion.
I had a really hard time keeping my back straight on the push-ups... it kept wanting to collapse. And fussing with the bands ate up some time... but it was fun!
Time: 8:04

Neighborly assistance, and a sprint tabata
Helped one of my classmates move into a new apartment. She's an international student and had very little stuff, so it was an easy hour of toting bags and crates up and down stairs. Sweaty but easy.
Ran a tabata afterwards. 7 minute warm-up, 4 minutes of work, 4 minutes of steady running.

Team Murph @CFD
I teamed up with Erica. We did:
- 1 mile run (together)
- 40 pull ups + 60 KB swings (24kg) - equally split between the two of us
- 200 push ups - I did maybe 60% of them??
- 300 squats - 50/50
- 1 mile run (together)
(For the middle sets, only one person was allowed to work at a time.)
I felt really good on the last mile!

McGhee @CFD
Complete as many rounds in 30 minutes as you can of:
275 pound Deadlift, 5 reps - scaled to 165
13 Push-ups
9 Box jumps, 24 inch box - scaled to 20"
16 rounds + 15
Good scaling - I kept up with Max & Kitch, who were doing it as Rx'd. Push-ups were the rate-limiting step, as usual, so I made sure to do them in small enough batches to not get burnt out - usually 6/4/3. A good workout for sure!

Track workout
3 rounds of:
200m on a 2 minute interval
2 x 100m on a 1 min int
-rest 3min-
200m on a 75 second int
2 x 100m on a 40 sec int.
I felt like I was actually using my hamstrings! Good stuff!
Climbing with Max!
Couldn't summon much grip strength, so I just climbed a bunch of 5.9's and 10a's and chatted with Max the ever-ready belayer between runs. Fun!

20 burpees
- 8:15 -

Jerks, back squats @CFD
Jerks - worked up to three doubles:
105, 105, 110f, 105
Back squats - goal was to do (broken) sets of 10 at your 5RM weight
165 (6/4), 165 (6/4), 165 (5/3/2)

Split jerks @CFD
Wanted to get 125, but couldn't quite manage it. Tried 120 - hit my chin on the first one, but got it on the second attempt!

Thrusters & dips @CFD
10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1
- Ring Dip (blue band under my knees)
- Thruster (65#)
Thrusters felt relatively easy. Dips felt awkward. Next time I think I'll substitute static ring holds instead of using a band.

Deadlifts, met con @CFD
Deadlifts
205 x 3
215 x 3
225 x 3
185 x 5, 2, 2, 1 (It was supposed to be an unbroken set of 15-20, but I bit off more than I could chew.)
Met con
7 minutes of power cleans (95#) and push-ups in a 1:3 ratio.
I got 22 rounds (22 cleans, 66 push-ups). As usual, the push-ups slowed me down.
