As many rounds in 20 minutes:

5 Squat Cleans – 95lbs
7 Burpees
9 KB Swings – 55 lbs

Completed 8 rounds and 4 squat cleans on the next round. This felt harder than anything I did last saturday. I went to the pool afterwards, I did 3x100's and called it quits. Too tired to try and swim any drills.

Ran easy with Cathy, Britnee, and Haylee. Felt okay... averaged an 8:30 pace

At Crossfit we had run intervals in between squat cleans and burpees.

The Jerk still bothers my shoulders. That slowed my time significantly since it took great pain to lift above my head and then lower the weight. I did 2.5 rounds on the clean & jerk, 4 rounds on the front squats, and 6 rounds on the barbell rows. The rows were easier since I didn't have to torture my shoulders! The strength section I only got up to 165lbs due to the shoulder issue. I didn't want to injure myself.

Ran the Mesquite Marathon route down the big downhill section. The first few miles the legs were a little stiff, but things started to loosen up after mile 2. Yesterdays crossfit workout left me a bit drained. Mile 8 & 9 got a little flat and I had to work a little harder to maintain pace. It's funny how I struggled with the flatter section after all that easy falling for the first 7 miles. Good run for a recovery week. I'm ready for track monday!! :)
