Weekend Workout

I did two very fun workouts this weekend. The first was a 6.37 mile run with my buddy Ken. Our final time was just over 53 minutes and average pace was 8:36 per mile. My knee bothered me during the run, so I'm going to stick to spinning and rowing this week and let it heal. I hate to cut my runs off for a week...but I know it's the wise thing to do. I think a week off from running and it will be back to 100%.

I also did one of the W.O.D (Workout of the Day) from the Crossfit main site. It was short and sweet, weighted pull ups for sets of 1-1-1-1-1-1-1. Basically you are trying to see how much weight (in addition to your body weight) you can pull up over the bar for 1 rep. No jump, no kip, no bands, just a pure perfect hanging pull-up. So, I put my weight vest on and went to work...

1 Set:35lbs (my 20lbs weight vest plus 15lbs dumbbell between knees)
2nd Set: 50lbs (my 20lbs vest plus 30lbs dumbbell between knees)
3rd Set: 60lbs
4th Set: 70lbs
5th Set: 75lbs
6th Set 80lbs
7th set: 90lbs (couldn't get this one)
7th set again: 85lbs (20lbs vest plus 50lbs dumbbell plus 15lbs dumbbell)
