Oh my legs...

It was a pretty tense day around the office today. 50 layoffs here and 50 in Connecticut. Crazy to see people let go after being here for 30 years. I know at least 3 of the people let go here and I can say they were a pleasure to work with when I got the opportunity. Once again I’m shown how thankful I need to be of my job even if it is contract and not what I want to do. With all this rearranging, it looks like I’ll be getting more work and my days won’t be dragging on. I’ve got an income to support myself and parents that let me live at home until I’m stable. I couldn’t ask for anything more.

Food for the Day: Breakfast: 3 eggs, 5oz ground turkey/ground beef mix, 6 medium strawberries. Lunch: 6oz turkey burger and 2 cups of broccoli in butter. Dinner: 6oz salmon with garlic butter, 10 asparagus spears with garlic butter, and 5oz mixed greens.

Strength: Front Squat: 3(70%)-3(80%)-3+(90%) (training max 68kg): 3@48 - 3@54.5 - 2@61
Again....I didn't meet the last set. :( sad face. I don't know if my body is tired or what, but two days in a row I didn't make the reps. I knew my legs were tired today and the squats were going to be heavy, but I was hoping to push out the last rep. I got half way up and I just couldn't push anymore. Oh well, I'll get it next time.

WOD: 10.9.8.7.6.5.4.3.2.1 Ball Slams (30/20) Box Jumps (24/20) Goblet Squats (20/16) goal time 7:00-9:00
Speaking of tired legs.......Obviously this was going to be rough with my legs already tired and from the front squats. I decided to go RX'd on this. I knew my legs were tired and my box jumps aren't great, but I figured I could finish in the goal time. And I did, I finished in 8:48. I just made it, but I made it. It was a tough one, but I liked it, I really felt the burn in my legs.
