Think Positive : Be Positive
You have heard me talk about this before. Our Thoughts eventually become who we are. Thoughts lead to Words. Words lead to Action. Actions lead to Habits. Our Habits define our Character. Pertaining to our Nutrition Challenge we must believe we are healthy Paleo Eaters. Eating Paleo is who we are. We eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch, and no sugar. We eat enough to sustain activity but not enough to add body fat. We look forward to all the healthy good food we get to eat. Thinking about what you don’t have is not going to make you happy. Focus on what you do have. This might be hard, but life is hard. You embrace challenges. I know this for a fact because you do CrossFit. Our workouts are hard because we know that where there is struggle there is also progress. Give yourself a chance to succeed. Take one day at a time.

None Today. Just no time with long workout.
Workout Strategy (This will be long winded)
“30 minutes” and no I am not kidding. Today is the complete contrast of Monday’s workout. The main goal of CrossFit is to increase your work capacity across broad time. What does that mean? Monday we did 2 minute intervals of very high intensity where even the one minute breaks were barely enough or not enough time for our body to recover. The body’s ability to recover and repeat a movement is called Stamina. Today’s workout is 30 minutes. Two minutes versus thirty minutes. We need to be better at both. Today we need to find a pace and a weight where we are never standing not doing work. So, intensity will be much lower than Monday’s workout. We want to accomplish as much work as possible in that 30 minutes. We will need to pace this one. Monday was a sprint. Today is our marathon. The weight needs to be light so that you can do all the deadlifts, cleans, front squat, press, and back squats without putting the bar down to rest. You then need to run at a pace that you could sustain for approx. 10 minutes. The lifting portion is a rest from the running and vice versa. No more than half of each round should be spent running. Meaning if it takes you 2 minutes to do the lifting the running should take less than two minutes. If it is taking you 2 minutes to complete the run then you are running at a 16 minute mile pace. I know everyone can run faster than that. Your goal for tomorrow should be to complete 7 or more rounds. Lets have some fun!!
