I say easy miles, but there was not one mile that was easy today - maybe mile 1. I ran up to Toquerville Falls today trying to make it a little farther this time. every 2 min I'd pick up a heavy rock and try to run with it up the hill. My legs were fatigued from the previous night's workout, so this was a hard run! I was proud of it though. I broke through some mental barriers that had to do with protecting my hamstring. I let go of all that and I think it helped! I really tried picture myself winning the championship race, and what pushing through that pain and fatigue would feel like. My ab pain started hurting when I got up to the top but then went away??
I was way tired when I got back - even to the point of feeling a bit nauseous!
I had crossfit on the agenda for the pm and hate to say it but I was dreading it. I hate to go into a workout feeling like this, but sometimes I can't push myself hard more than once a day.
Push press - 75 lbs, 85, 90, 95 - my goal is to get to 100 by next week!

Push-Ups
My handstand push ups were rather pathetic today. I had did my first 6, and then I was toast for all 39 of the rest. I just had no core strength left. Ryan was really good about pushing me and not letting me stop. I was frustrated and wanted to give up and go to a higher cushioning, but he didn't let me. I was grateful for the push!
My pull ups felt pretty good however - so I must be getting stronger:) Push ups sucked.
