Four in the nick

I squeezed in my 4th workout of week 19 in the dying afternoon hours, just before the gym closed. Phewf!

Workout today was based on a Crossfit Mom WOD: 21-15-9 thrusters and push-ups. (What? That's supposed to be the whole workout?)

Only, I subbed in lat pulls for push-ups, added a run, and ended up doing the push-ups at the end after all. Here's the sum:

21-15-9 reps of:
thrusters @ 45
lat pulls @ 70

Good lord those thrusters peak the heart rate. I had to take two 15 second pauses to get through the first set, and my face turned alarmingly pink. I likely grunted a few times. (The lat pulls at 70 were pretty much just as difficult, though less full-bodied.)

Treadmill:
Alternating intervals of 1/5 mi @ 5.5 mph and 1/4 mi @ 7 mph x4 (First fast interval was actually 7.5, but I had some uncomfortable lower ab -- aka uterine -- cramping, so last 3 were 7.0.)
Finished off with some steady running at 6 and 6.5 mph.

Total 2.5 miles/25 minutes.

While stretching, i decided to throw down the originally prescribed 21-15-10 push-ups because, what the hell? I managed to do the first 5 of each set regular, and switched to girlies for the rest.

Push-ups have become dramatically difficult (compared to the 20-25 regular push-ups I could do in a set just two months ago). The bridge position is very hard to hold, and I've gained about 10 pounds, almost entirely in my midsection.

And the weigh-in: holding steady at 140.
