Angie

Rx version is 100 pullups, 100 pushups, 100 situps, & 100 squats for time.

I did 100 pullups (different grips throughout), 5o pushups, then began breaking the exercises up, doing at least 5 pushups, 10 situps, and 10 squats, before moving to a different exercise. The pushups were the killer. I struggled many times to get 5 in a row.

Final time was 24:48.

Now on the the United Way Golf Scramble...I'm sure this workout did wonders for my swing.

See ya' Doc!

Final doctor's appointment yesterday afternoon...I was given the all clear sign!

Yesterday's WOD just happened to be Tabata This, the one that got this whole thing started! 40 days of inactivity defintely takes it's toll on your strength. This is actually the first time I've tabattad since February.

My numbers for pulllups 10,7,6,6,6,6,5,5, pushups 10,10,9,7,4,4,4,4, situps 9,8,8,6,6,7,6,6, and squats were 14,16,16,15,15,16,15,15. First WOD as Rx since gallbladder surgery!

Back into action

It's been 4 weeks and a day since surgery and I feel great. I've jogged a couple of times the past few days (2.25 mils in 20 minutes on 8/10) and 2 miles in 16 minutes on8/11) and did a few burpees and some very light thrusters yesterday.
