Friday night velocity

Blog

I went to the Friday night Velocity session this evening, as I had spent most of the day sitting on my butt at a client's office. I needed to move, but debated going to the class or just going for a long walk with the dogs or maybe a short run by myself. In retrospect, I wish I hadn't spent the hour of travel time to get to class and return home, and went for a run instead.

On the way home from Velocity today, I was cruising in the number one lane on 101 south, travelling a safe distance behind a truck. There were very few cars around us until we neared Palo Alto, which is where the traffic always seems to both thicken and slow down.

Went by myself. Have this comment:

"The sled push/pulls were rather brutal, in that I wasn't really "allowed" to drop the weight down to a weight that I would normally use. With the new guy around of course watching what everyone else was doing, I decided that having a woman who was no doubt older than he was and probably only 2/3 his weight not only doing the same sled weight as he was doing, but also doing the exercise more quickly and with better form, would have a sobering effect on his machoism. ... I was right."

This morning's Velocity workout was 4 rounds of

15 one arm snatch (right arm)
30 GHG situps
15 one arm snatch (left arm)
30 knees to elbows

I have to admit that my ability to lift my arms is severely limited at this moment.

This morning's workout post lacks a commentary (well, other than, "I can't do dips to save my life.").
