MaryStella Posted March 21, 2011 Author Share Posted March 21, 2011 I got the earth vega solar in black. they look like mary janes. they are the same ones i had a few years ago. They lasted for years but eventually the strap broke off and i finally got around to getting a new pair. I have a pair of earth vegan boots that are cute. But most of their styles are not the cutest. They have some better styles in their non vegan line but i won't buy those. Wish they made all of their styles in a vegan option! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lobsteriffic Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I wanted those earth vegan boots soooo badly, but they were out of stock everywhere a couple years ago when I looked. They had an updated version, but they are no longer vegan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob PMFF Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 7 rounds with 5 burpees does sound like a good amount. Just enough to feel the suckiness I wish we had a heavy bag at ours Sometimes I punch the ropes and make them fly away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaryStella Posted March 22, 2011 Author Share Posted March 22, 2011 @adena - the recipe is from color me vegan. you basically cooked the lentils, mix them with the cashews and add ww breadcrumbs to hold them together then cook them on the stovetop. @rob - u love burpess -u know you do! bike - 3 mile warmup - 24 rounds of tabata on the trainer.

MaryStella Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 Finished the day with a 4 mile run. Left foot started getting a little numb towards the end of my run. When I was done I noticed my left foot was sore in the same spot as last time. Im convinced it is from the orthos. I think the running is getting a little better. My earth shoes came today! Damon's carbon sonic wing arrived also. That is going to have to be a weekend project. meal 5 - tofu, peppers, zucchini, onions, daiya, guacamole.

MaryStella Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 Feeling the effects of "cindy" today. I didnt get much or good quality sleep last night either so that didn't help the recovery process. it really makes such a difference. Just more sore than expected to be from a bodyweight wod. Didn't do an endurance wod in the morning like I normally do. Just wasn't feeling up to it. I had to shovel my car out of 8 inches of snow instead. wasn't very much fun. Foot is a little tender today too. Tonight I need to do some mobility work I didn't have time for any last night. CF wod - 21 - 15 - 9Overhead squats @ 35lbs bar from the ground squat onto a medicine ballGHD situpstime 7:43 I am horrible at overhead squats. I took a long warmup trying to get myself more mobile today. then did some OHS lifts to get ready for the wod.OHSpvcx515x525x535x545x555x535x10 I started the bar from the ground so I had to muscle snatch it anytime I dropped it. I had to ditch it a few times. I still have trouble letting the bar roll back so sometimes when i am coming up from the squat the bar is too far forward and my balance goes to shit so i have to ditch it forward. I used the medicine ball to make sure i was going to depth but that ended up being a bad thing too because i found myself almost sitting on the ball and then pushing up instead of just touching and going nice and fast. But it is a starting point. I made it through the wod. It's more skillwork for me because of the level i am at with OHS. I almost feel like making my warmup things i am horrible at or hate everyday so i get better at them and don't detest them so much. meal 1 - granola & soymilkmeal 2 - clif builder bar & 1 scoop vega wfo w/coconut watermeal 3 - tofu, peppers, zucchini. onions, daiya and guacmolemeal 4 - 1 scoop vega & coconut watermeal 5 - beet burgers & taters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaryStella Posted March 24, 2011 Author Share Posted March 24, 2011 swim - 500 yards of drills (100s of the usual suspects) then 1,000 paddles and pull buoy. Only stopped cuz i lost my paddle once and had to fix my pull buoy a couple of times. I swim very smoothly with paddles although i don't know how good my speed is with them. Finished with 500 of fins and kicking. side, streamlined, switch. I've been doing so much drill work lately i feel like i don't even swim! that changes for next time. looking forward to it. cf wod - 4 rounds for time of 15 Deadlifts @185 lbs20 box jumps @ 24 inchestime 16:13 I did my usual warmup plus 5 minutes of jumping rope to get ready for this. Then warmed up my deadlift from 135 to 215. Decided 185 would be a painful enough weight to use for the wod. felt pretty good the first round i was done in 3 minutes. 2nd round was 4 minutes. and it got worse from there. The deads were feeling heavy it was getting challenging to maintain good form. My foot started to hurt a bit on the 3rd round of box jumps. Gonna have to work on that tonight. meal 1 - vega wfo w/coconut watermeal 2 - hemp bagel & peanut buttermeal 3 - tofu, veggies, brown rice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaryStella Posted March 26, 2011 Author Share Posted March 26, 2011 that video was insane! Kinda ironic the timing of these posts. I actually took an unplanned rest day today as I've been in bed sick since last night. There goes that whole superhero theory! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
growinglarger Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Regular warmup + 5 minutes jumping rope - 3 x 5 KB swings @ 44You know what?? Jumping rope as part of my regular warmup makes way more sense than just 10 minutes on the moon machine. (oops-I mean Precor machines )Think I will try that next week. BUT I am sure I will have to work up to 5 minutes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob PMFF Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 That's a terrible illness. I'm kinda surprised you got it so late in the "season". I had it first week of February, and most people had it before that. Anyway, glad you're feeling better. Not much worse than a GI tract illness.

growinglarger Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 That's terrible... Feeling like you can't do anything, which goes against everything you work to achieve.Well at least it's only for a relative short time. Hope your feeling better.GL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaryStella Posted March 30, 2011 Author Share Posted March 30, 2011 thanks everyone. it was weird because i don't even know anyone else that is sick and i agree it was late in the season. it's been 10 - 15 years since i had something like that. and i hope it is that long before i get it again! started training again today - 45 minute TT in the pool. Swam 92 laps was almost done with my 93rd lap is i was counting correctly. Which is always questionable when it gets to be that many laps. I felt good swimming, I didn't feel like i was going fast or even working hard. Felt like I had a good pace and wasn't struggling to maintain it. Had a few swim cap issues where it won't stay on my head. I had hair hanging out of it for most of the workout because i refused to stop and fix it. so i just kept pulling at it on my flip turns. CF workout - barbell complex. i felt like it went horrible. I made it through but I felt really bad through the whole thing like I really needed to rest between the rounds. I felt weak and wiped out. 5 rounds of 4 reps of each1 rep the entire series belowFront SquatPush PressBack SquatReverse Lunge RightReverse Lunge leftPush press (behind the neck) round 1 - 65round 2 - 70round 3 - 75 - failed on the BTN PP on the 1st rep so I dropped the weight to 65round 4 - 70round 5 - 65 I put the bar down between reps to reset. I know in a complex your not supposed to do that but I really hurting today. I also took a little break between rounds. the squats were easy. The push press especially the BTN was rough. The lunges were a fun challenge. Maybe i went to heavy but I don't think so. Hopefully today was just an off day as my first time back and I am better tomorrow. meal 1 - vega wfo w/coconut watermeal 2 - soy yogurt, strawberries, blueberries, vega wfo, ground flaxmeal 3 - tofu, brown rice, veggies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaryStella Posted March 31, 2011 Author Share Posted March 31, 2011 tired and sore getting up this morning. I feel like I can't get enough sleep the last couple of days. Guess my needs to get back into the routine after having so many days off. swim - 400 of drills as a warmup (100s of switch,catch, shark, hesitate) then 2,000 as 25 hard and 25 easy. I timed it just to see what it ended up being not that i was going for a good time because of the easy part. ended up being 38.45. Did 50 of breast stroke to cooldown and 50 of butterfly kicking. cf wod - "eva"5 rounds for time ofRun 800 meters (rower)30 kettlebell swings @ 4430 pullups (on rings) time - 45:52 I used the rower because it was raining and i needed to go back to work when I was done. This is my first time doing eva with the rx weight. before i used to swing a 35 for it because of the high numbers of reps. but i made it all the way through using the 44. decided to do the rings pullups since my hand still has an open tear on it and 150 pullups would only make that worse and it would be nice to be able to hold onto my bike this weekend during the race. meal 1 - vega wfo w/coconut watermeal 2 - veg wfo, soy yogurt, ground flax, strawberries, blueberriesmeal 3 - clif builder barmeal 4 - tofu, spinach, peppers, zucchini, guacamole, roasted yams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
