Today was a WOW day! Anytime you get to have a massage, 2 CrossFit workouts, Dick’s cheeseburgers, and Tutta Bella pizza in one day you should celebrate! Or maybe the day in and of itself is a celebration. 🙂 As I’ve said before if you’re in North Seattle or on the eastside you MUST checkout Studio Nine and Megan Paulsen for massage! I had a great massage and followed it up with a CrossFit workout of:
Run 400
50 thrusters @20 DB’s
Run 400
40 GHD sit ups
Run 400
30 kettlebell swings @50 DB’s
Run 400
20 double unders
Run 400
10 burpees
DONE!
I finished this workout in 22:26 and the hardest part by far was the running. I thought the hardest part was going to be the thrusters, but they were not too bad. Gotta love it!
The next workout was in the pool. If you haven’t done a pool workout before I highly recommend that you go get wet! You get a full body pump like no other workout that I’ve ever done. The workout was straight from the CrossFit Endurance website and consisted of:
Swim15 minutes
Rest 8 minutes
Swim 8 minutes
Rest 3 minutes
Swim 3 minutes
Rest 1 minute
Swim 1 minute
Rest 1 minute
Swim 1 minute
Hit the showers!
For some reason I always feel terrible at the start of my swim workouts and feel the best at the end (or last set). I guess it takes a while for me to get into a rhythm. Good thing my Ironman swim will be 2.4 miles. LOL!
After all that working out I knew that this would be the best day for my weekly diet cheating celebration. Not to mention I’ll be leaving for Arizona tomorrow for a week of working out in the sun! Life is good! Anyway for my cheat day I wanted to get back to the pizza place Tutta Bella and I found out today that if you join their email list on their facebook page you get a buy one get one pizza deal. That means 2 delicious margarita pizzas for under $15 bucks! Now that’s a good deal! These pizza are the best that I’ve had in Seattle up to this point. My drive home lead me right past Dick’s Drive In and I had to stop and get a couple cheeseburgers to complete my dinner of yumminess! So as I type this I’m full, happy, and going to be all fueled up for my week of running, biking, and swimming.
I’ll be sure to post lots of good pics and videos from the trip so stay tuned! 🙂
