Friday night (2/19/2010), we did “Running Phat Cindy”. I have done regular Cindy before with a personal record of 17 rounds. “Running Phat Cindy” is also AMARP in 20 minutes, but there’s now a run and the squats are weighted:

• 400m run
• 5 pull ups
• 10 push ups
• 15 back squats (65lbs)

I Rx’d this one and got five full rounds in. In fact, I completed my last squat as the clock was changing from 0:01 to 0:00. Just under the wire…

I didn’t feel so great on the runs for this one, but felt really good on all the other stuff. I guess I need more work on my running. I think that will be something that I will have to work on forever. The first 2 weren’t bad. After that, I took at least one walk break. Again, I felt like I couldn’t catch my breath.

Saturday (2/20/2010) morning, we took another crack at the “Fit Test” that we did back in November. This workout is:

• 1 minute of push ups
• 1 minute of sit ups
• 400m run
• Tabata set of squats

My numbers for this were:

• Push ups: 40 (previously 37)
• Sit ups: 31 (previously 34)
• 400m run: 1:42 (previously 1:36ish)
• Tabata squats: 104 (previously 150ish)

(I need to verify those numbers when I get home. I didn’t have my sheet on me when I wrote this.)

I didn’t do as well on this one as I did last time. The only thing that went up was push ups. I can probably make a few excuses as to why my performance wasn’t where it was last time like “I was tired”, “I was sore”, or “it was raining”. But really, I guess I really just didn’t do as well. Maybe those are legitimate factors, maybe they are not. I don’t know.
