Snatch technique; "Chief"; Running!

I ran to the gym, about 1.5 miles.

Worked on snatch technique - pulled from the floor, landed in a full squat. Worked up to 75#.

"The Chief" - 5 rounds. Each round is a 3-min AMRAP, followed by a 1-min rest.
3 power cleans (95#)
6 push-ups
9 air squats

I got 4 rounds every time. Push-ups are always the limiting factor.

Ran home again - tired, but glad I did it.

CFE - running, thrusting, pushing

5 rounds:
800 - 400 - 200 - 100 - 50m run
2 - 4 - 6 - 8 - 10 thruster (75#) & pike push-up

14:09

I really need to work on my handstand push-ups - my shoulders felt really loose. I couldn't even do them with my feet on a short box - had to do "down dog" push-ups. During the last round, I figured out that I need to keep my shoulder blades squeezed together. Running & thrusters felt pretty good!

40 minute run on the beach

About 5 miles.
Went barefoot the whole way, including the half-mile of pavement between the house and the beach. Got some blisters on the soles of my feet, but the rest of my body felt good!
