Evil "Eva"


WOD: For time, complete five rounds of:

Run 800 meters
30 Kettlebell swings, 2 pood
30 Pull-ups

OMg! (aka: Oh My Goodness...) that WOD rocked my endurance factor. I completed the WOD in 1:07:54. Yes, I said, "One hour, seven minutes, and fifty-four seconds."

For the record, I substituted a 70# dumbbell for a 2 pood kettlebell. I did jumping pull-ups for kippers on the last two rounds of 30 pull-ups. I also used a treadmill instead of the track. I started off at a 7.1 speed (about 8:27 min. mile) and ended with a 6.6 (about a 9:05 min. mile).

Right now, I'm recovering nicely at home. My hands hurt and my right wrist is a little sore but I'll survive.

I'm taking the next ten days off. I know... that's quite a bit of time but my kids are going to be here. Plus, we're going skiing, so I suspect I'll be getting some good leg workouts those days.

To all my friends, family, and others: Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! If you don't believe in Christmas, I wish you all the best in your faith and joy in your life. God bless you and yours...
