Workout

5 x 3 Front Squats - 1st 135, 2nd 155, 3rd 165, 4th 175, 5th 185 (10# PR)

WOD

3 rounds

400m run

15 pullups

6:24 

Crushed the WOD, which I should have as my body was composed to do pullups and run.   I was much more excited about the front squat.  My last PR was at 175 not too long ago and I thought my head was going to explode (I’m only slightly exaggerating).

I started back on Paleo yesterday and I was super hungry today….so I ate lot.  Seems pretty simple.

After spending the last week and a half free basing sugar, I’m back!  I haven’t noticed a drop in my performance but recovery has been much worse.  Nice to see all of my friends on the wagon again.

Food

Breakfast - 2 eggs and bacon

Lunch - Chicken and a cornucopia of sausages provided by the lovely and talented Hulk!

Dinner - Apple, pecans and a protein shake

Workout

Buy in - .75 mile jog to the East River track

WOD - 4 x 800  1st 3:15, 2nd 3:25, 3rd 3:17, 4th 3:13

Cash out - .75 mile jog home

WOD felt good.  The second was just a bad job by me.  None of the times were overly impressive but I was working on pacing and would not let myself kick.  My kick is the strongest part of my running but I need to figure out a way to distribute it more throughout.  Next time, I’m going to push for 3:10 throughout.  I think this is very doable.
