Reading Matter
knocked back on my heels by my ten year old daughter, pinkstuff, announcing that the first chapter of her new book explains that "your parents really fuck you up" - wtf. before i could fully wind up into an outraged questioning protest the pelly dived in and explained that in her "professional" opinion studies (studies my arse) children should be allowed, neigh encouraged to read whatever interests them. So pink stuff is currently wading through Lily Allen's biography whilst silent girl the 12 yr old has become a reclusive fang banger and is wading through the twilight series.
am learning to accept i am a liberal parent.
weds wod - 40 pull ups and 40 dips, 19min 42 secs.
thurs wod - cf warmup and then 7 rounds of 3 reps barbell thrusters, very pleased with form. failed on 4th round at 140lb, but made it on 5th round, PR on round 7 - 148.5lb.

bit of sunshine
at last a bit of sunshine, had a good day building more yurt bases.
Received a panicked phonecall from the pelly who had managed to get lost with the girls walking on the cliffs at lyme, I had a similar experience last year whilst training for project 65, unfortunately i also got caught short and wrecked a nice technical t cleaning myself up - choice. No such dramas for the pelly, taxi back to lyme from seaton and all was well.
2 wod's today - 7 X 1 snatch building to max, stopped at 132lb, as strained shoulder on 5th rep, struggling with flexibility to get low.
5K time trial - 27min 22secs in VFFs. Fairly pleased as lots of niggles still from the copper canyon ultra and leaves a good benchmark to work from. 5km target 24mins, so another min per mile to take off !

Back running
Got in a quick run before going to stay in sussex with my parents for easter.
Won't bother listing the usual aches and pains, but completed it.
Did CFE sprint session :
3 Rounds of:
5 seconds on, 10 seconds off, 20 seconds on, 10 seconds off, 10 seconds on, 10 seconds off, 30 seconds on, 10 seconds off, 15 seconds on, 10 seconds off, 25 seconds on, 10 seconds off
struggled a bit on last round. Looking forward to getting a GPS to record distances for comparison.
Ran in VFF's looked like a freak, but at least they are light.

will this winter ever end
spent most of the day building ger bases in freezing conditions with Fat Head. Hand are still warming up. Fat Head admitted to sobbing gently over the Fes Tool, I was working more on the hands in pockets hiding behind landrover approach, unfortunately was spotted by dutch limb and the card so pretended to be hardier. Had thought that with the clocks changing perhaps winter was coming to an end, how naive !
Forgot my wallet in Somerfield and then was accused of queue jumping by a group of militant old biddies on my return. I explained that this was a privilege reserved solely for people who make a total arse of themselves by forgetting to bring money. Cue further chorus of disapproval at my language, shamed. Shamed further when i had to ask for a pair of large marigolds (eday has such sensitive hands !)
Crossfit WOD, 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 reps of chest to bar pull ups, 30" box jumps, GHD situps - 25mins 43secs.
