Training and schedule update

Good to see everyone has made it through the summer months. I hope the weather is cooling down in your area. We had a nice cool front pass this past weekend, which brought much cooler temps for Saturday's long run. It's amazing the difference between 80* with high humidity and low 60's with low humidity.

Here's a quick recap of last week's activities and the schedule for this week.

Monday:       "Christine" 3 rounds of 500m row, 12 deadlifts and 21 box jumps
Tuesday:        Push Jerk 1-1-1-1-1 and 20 shoulder to overhead & 40 burpees
Wednesday:   4 mile run
Thursday:       3+ mile run (GPS was acting up to start. So mileage is a little off)
Friday:           Rest day
Saturday:       6 miles

Overall, the week was a good one. Crossfit was put aside some as I tweaked my back a little on the heavy Push Jerk 1 reps. Runs were tough during the week due to the humidity levels. But, the Saturday run felt wonderful. 

Here's what's on tap for this week:

Monday:        Crossfit
Tuesday:        3 mile run
Wednesday:   Crossfit
Thursday:       Crossfit & 3 mile run
Friday:           Crossfit
Saturday:       6 mile run

Official schedule for Dopey Challenge training begins next week.
